About this Blog

During the semester, I shall post course material and students will comment on it. Students are also free to comment on any aspect of American politics, either current or historical. There are only two major limitations: no coarse language, and no derogatory comments about people at the Claremont Colleges. This blog is on the open Internet, so post nothing that you would not want a potential employer to see. Syllabus: http://gov20h.blogspot.com/2023/08/draft-introduction-to-american-politics.html

Politicians around the world and Andy Rooney

Here's a couple of items I think are worthy of being addressed:

-Back in class last Monday, we talked about how law is the preferred path for politicians in the US... however, I recalled that that isn't the case in every nation, as I read back in 2009 in this article from the Economist.
-Also, for any of you who watch 60 Minutes, tonight is Andy Rooney's last night, after 40+ years, and work in journalism going back at least to, if I recall correctly, the Stars and Stripes newspaper during World War II.  Here is a page from CBS which has highlights from his numerous essays on 60 Minutes.
