Indiana Political Review

The commentary on Iraq has been decidedly one-sided on this blog thus far. Let us address that now.
I will say that at least my view of Iraq is conflicted. I do not share Birdy’s crystal clear vision of the evils of American (neo-conservative) foreign policy and am left with a much more ambiguous view of […]

Here is an interesting animation that shows how Instant Runoff Voting works. However, I still stand by the comments I left on Birdy’s post. This is interesting only in a purely theoretical sort of way. Practically, I envision some counties (not to cast aspersions, but let us use Miami-Dade as an entirely hypothetical example) that just […]

Please read this. (Of course, Karl would say my inner kook is my outer kook, as well. Harumph.)

What I think is also interesting is Ron Paul’s third place position. This was, statistically speaking, basically a tie for […]

I must admit that I am giddy with anticipation for the prospect of the days ahead.
Things are now right with the world and we can expect all things to improve. Our taxes will now come down. Our freedom will be more secure. We will be safer from terrorists. Our children will be happier, smarter, healthier, […]

Please enjoy this tidbit from Andrew Cusack.
I thought Karl might enjoy the comments, and might have some mathematical/statistical insight.
