My name is Ian Cerveny. I like quiet walks up the sides of mountains and moonlit dining in dark alleys. My turn ons are big men knocking over bigger men and then laughing derisively at them, the sheen on a nice new sheet of ice, and the smell of what I know to be really tasty whiskey (bourbon or scotch preferably, but it's all good.) My turn offs are people with nervous laughs that can't look me in the eye, this damned summer heat, and the ever-present buzz of popular culture in the background of my everyday activities. Also, music is good. That is all.

I don't know about the term gangster.... most gangsters have enough good sense to do nefarious deeds out of the public eye.

One part journalism, three parts partisan drivel. Add a dash of misconstrued facts, and... voila! You get a flaming pile of stinky propaganda.

Despite the far right's attempts to hijack the tea party concept, the fact is that the majority of attendees were protesting federal mismanagement ... More »

The author fails to note that the 10% that pays 71% of the taxes also owns 69.8% of the total wealth of the country. The concentration of wealth within that 10% has MUCH more to do with how much they pay in taxes than any other factor.

The author touches on most of the best arguments for legalization, while adding his baby boomer spin. Were I a baby boomer, I'm sure this story would be emotionally compelling. As it is, the article is intellectually compelling enough to pass muster.

Unfortunately, the author fails to tie his "dream scenario" in with the basic rights of all United States citizens. For me, this is the most ... More »

What drivel. Despite being accurate in his assessments of the right's shady dealings, the author absolve via omission any responsibility on the part of the Democratic Party.

When it comes to the slow and deliberate destruction of a system of government, it takes a frightening degree of colaboration and/or incompetence ... More »

Pretty good assessment, but failed to cite their sources in a number of key instances.

The interview provides an excellent overview of the financial crisis.

What a novel concept; interview an expert instead of a pundit or politician.

Very well-balanced and researched article.

This is a well-documented example of how courage has been systematically removed from the journalistic tradition. It would seem that most ... More »

There is definitely some bias in the presentation of the service provided. The author is clearly against this method for news publication.

What a ridiculous waste of resources. I can't see this venture succeeding beyond a very limited audience.

That minor report was buried does not spell the death of a campaign promise, but it is certainly a step in that direction.

If these detainees were legally obtained prisoners of war, there would have been no difficulty prosecuting them. The Obama Administration knew they ... More »

While this is a well-written story, the subject matter is not understudied simply due to race issues. The author makes a connection between race ... More »
