Usha Nellore
Usha Nellore : Weak men are security risks
- Former Sen. John Edwards stands disgraced before the media and the public with the wall-to-wall coverage of his sexual dalliance with Reille Hunter.
Usha Nellore : Ludacris and politics
- Rapper Ludacris has recorded his “Get out the vote” song: “Politics as Usual.” The refrain of the catchy paean to the Democratic presidential hopeful is, “Obama is here!”
Usha Nellore: The skullduggery of Maryland spies
- Maryland State Police agents, between 2005 to 2006, as part of a covert operation, infiltrated a local peace group, the Baltimore Pledge of Resistance, and two anti-death penalty groups, the Baltimore Coalition Against the Death Penalty and the Committee to Save Vernon Evans, a death row inmate.
Usha Nellore: Right and left tiptoe around easy-to-caricature Obama
- Two years ago one of my highbrow friends gave me a subscription to The New Yorker. Slowly I have fallen under its spell, captivated by poems that bend my powers of comprehension, essays that put to shame my vocabulary, and short stories that make me wish wistfully for the same prowess of expression. But my fascination recently lost some of its luster.
Small donors or mini lobbyists?
- Sen. Barack Obama rejected public financing for the general election campaign, and Sen. John McCain says he is appalled by the deception.
Usha Nellore : Clouded mind or patriotism?
- So much talk about patriotism lately. Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, battered by some in the media for not wearing an American flag lapel pin, stoutly defends his own brand of patriotism, stripped of fussy symbols. His Republican rival, John McCain, described patriotism as “a love and a duty expressed in good citizenship.”
Usha Nellore: Money can’t buy math performance
- When Andres Alonso, CEO of Baltimore City Public Schools, in January announced the school system would give students up to $110 each to boost their test scores, a lot of Baltimoreans went nuts. Those traditionalists said this was an absolutely wrong message to send to students. They condemned monetary incentives as corrupting influences on students, wanting them to be like the Socratic scholars of ancient Greece, seeking knowledge purely for knowledge’s sake.
Usha Nellore : What’s in a political name?
- A new America is emerging before our eyes. One where, as Examiner Columnist Antero Pietila joyously noted, “a Muslim cattle herder’s grandson, Barack Hussein Obama, may become president and Louisiana’s first non-white governor, Piyush Subhaschandra Amrit Bobby Jindal, who was a Hindu before he converted to Catholicism, is being considered as a vice presidential possibility by John McCain.”
Usha Nellore: What woman and when?
- We all know the negatives of Hillary Clinton. According to some like Dick Morris, they are too numerous and painful to count: She is hard as nails; cold and distant; ruthless and calculating — staying with her philandering husband only to use him as a ladder into the White House; an expert at weaving tall tales like the one where she intrepidly dodged bullets in Bosnia-Herzegovina; polarizing; absent the likability and folksiness of her husband; interminably boring; and with her “ready on day one” incantation, an insufferable headache.
