As a professor of International Affairs/Political Science, I am fascinated with the political scene. Sometimes it is a morbid fascination, sort of like the grizzly crash scene on the street that no one can take their eyes off of. But politics is my job and my passion, so I tend to watch newspapers, magazines, and scholarly journals for interesting articles and comment on them. Many of my thoughts and musings that later find their way into academic publishing may start out here. I welcome your comments and ideas.

Yet stimulus is still politically out of the question.
