The most terrible, vile, disgusting president of all time...
Thu May 17, 2012 3:26 PM EDT
I have to warn you, we're going to talk about a US president in this article that was as dispicable as a president can be. A president who, in January of 2013, will NOT be president any longer. Put down that sandwich, as I don't want you to get sick to your stomach.&n …

Thu May 17, 2012 12:27 AM EDT
In this riveting, educational, and entirely award-worthy (wink-wink, nudge-nudge) debut edition of "Political Theatre" (the "E" and the "R" are turned around, so you know this is some classy s---!), we're going to join a Republican and a Democrat, both politicians, …

Who does this Obama guy think he is?!
Tue May 15, 2012 8:54 PM EDT
I've had it up to here with this President Obama... if that is his real name. I just got done watching seven minutes of Fox News, and let me tell you, I learned more than I cared to learn about this Muslim socialist who hates America and wants to poop directly on our childr …

When students and "townies" collide
Wed May 9, 2012 10:08 PM EDT
A long time ago, between the fall of 1999 and the spring of 2000, I wrote for a tiny college paper that you've probably never heard of, called Pipe Dream. I wrote articles for its Release section, doing a handful of music and video game reviews before other ventures starte …

If Corporations get to be people, can I buy a Wall Street executive?
Tue Mar 27, 2012 2:06 PM EDT
I never really understood the corporate personhood debate. It really doesn't make sense, when you think about it. You can buy a corporation, if you can afford to purchase a majority of its shares. But if a corporation is viewed as a person under the law, doesn' …

Conservatives have sacrificed their right to grandstand on... well... rights
Sat Feb 18, 2012 1:51 AM EST
Every single time I hear a Conservative ranting and raving about their "liberties" and their "freedoms," my brain quite literally clenches into a fist, and if you could see an x-ray of my cranium at that exact moment, you'd see my medulla oblongata sharply extend upwards, f …

The biggest GOP goal for 2012? "Beating Obama"
Mon Feb 13, 2012 4:51 PM EST
A flip-flopping mannequin with no ideas of his own, a religious zealot who should have been born in 1430, an overweight womanizer with ambitions to build a moon colony, and a shrimpy cult leader with a thin layer of good ideas coating a cake of lunacy and failed ideas …

Viral video of a father shooting his kid's laptop is a perfect example of terrible parenting in action
Fri Feb 10, 2012 9:18 PM EST
I don't have kids. Right there, some parents are rolling their eyes, because they believe my not having children of my own disqualifies anything I might have to say about parenting. If you're still reading this, chances are you understand that I, like you, was a kid o …

Obama is constantly trying to "divide us?" Seriously, go to your room
Tue Jan 24, 2012 11:59 PM EST
Earlier tonight, President Obama laid out what I personally thought was his best State of the Union address to date. It was optimistic, and honest, and filled with the sort of promise we've wanted to hear from a President for a very long time. I disagreed with some o …

Could this idea of mine revolutionize personal computers? My concept of an "OSPU"
Thu Jan 5, 2012 4:13 PM EST
Way back in the fall of 1996, when I was a student at Binghamton High School, I was tinkering with my PC, trying to get a game I enjoyed to run properly. The issue I was having was that my computer, with its woefully-low specs, couldn't quite handle the game. The oper …

Occupy Binghamton still going strong
Fri Oct 28, 2011 4:45 PM EDT
On October 15th, I headed out to the first major Occupy Wall Street (or "OWS") event in my city, Binghamton New York. Today, roughly two weeks later, the small park being occupied on the corner of Court and State is still packed to the brim with tents, and driving by on an …

Seven ideas to better tune the Occupy movement
Wed Oct 12, 2011 1:42 PM EDT
You'd expect me to be a firebrand supporter of the Occupy Wall Street movement, but, truth be told, I'm not. I believe in Occupy's mission, philosophy, and goals. I believe they have the potential to usher in real change, and I'm hopeful they'll make that happen.&nbs …

The Revolution Cycle: America's constant need for change
Tue Oct 11, 2011 2:12 PM EDT
Late last night, my girlfriend and I were sitting in our apartment, chatting about the Occupy movement, and how it really isn't entirely too different from the Tea Party, when you look past the face-value messages of the two groups of course. I made the prediction that thi …

In a natural disaster, you can never really say "the coast is clear"
Tue Sep 13, 2011 6:54 PM EDT
In the panic and confusion of the devastating floods that wreaked havoc on the Binghamton area during Tropical Storm Lee, I found myself being prematurely thankful that my girlfriend and I weren't too severely directly impacted by the disaster. That says nothing of my frien …

Amidst historic flooding, PETCO store allows animals to drown
Sun Sep 11, 2011 7:36 PM EDT
In the panic, confusion, and disarray of catastrophic flooding, accidents will happen. But one tragic story has highlighted extreme levels of malfeasance on the part of a large corporate pet store, PETCO, which allowed an estimated 100 animals to die as the Twin Tiers expe …

The Republican in the hat (a children's bed time story!)
Sun Jul 24, 2011 3:00 PM EDT
Once upon a time in the US of A, money troubles loomed in a most menacing way. They had wrung up great debt over many long years, while Republicans gave tax cuts to only their peers. There were wars, and Katrina, and Homeland Security. Banker's bad practices pu …

Thu Jul 14, 2011 11:05 AM EDT
There's been a great deal of heated debate in the past few years regarding taxing the wealthy to pay down our national debt, and that debate only seems to be intensifying as the United States crawls toward a default amidst the debt ceiling issue/ crisis. We could …

Matt,
Your recent piece - Christian Right: Please Leave - says everything I've thought since the 1980s. The Christian Right presents a clear and present danger. And your writing was exceptional.
I'd like to follow your posts.
Friend request sent.
How about doing a story on CD2 in Arizona - retired teacher who is going to face Right Winger Trent Franks in the General Election - www.thrasherforcongress.org.
Nice articles man.
Where ya been? Haven't seen you in awhile. Looking forward to more articles from ya.....
Great comments and seeds... Keep up the good work!

Matt,
I loved your 'Extreme-Right Arguments, and How to Counter Them' article.
!! Thanks for the tools I will use them regularly !!!
P.S. your are adorable :]
Well Done !
Great work on your article "The Celebration of Stupidity". I'd left the Vine for awhile, but it's articles like yours that make me want to stick around. I've added you to my Watchlist as well, and I look forward to more things you write.
Even though I we disagree, I respect your willingness t o make a stand based on a personal philosophy. I think there is growth to be found on the vine. (no pun intended) I'd be happy to debate with you anytime. My fishing partner has similar views to you. We have some pretty interesting conversations on the the way to the river

Hey Matt,
Been awhile. Hope all is well with you.
I've just written an article. Personally I think it's pretty good and I'm trying to get it publicized onto Newsvine Live. I wanted to first send it to my friend base to get some comments. If you get an opportunity, please stop by.
Title: Say what you want, Obama is a Fighter
I appreciate your input. Oh, and take the poll please. Take care and keep up the good fight. It's been a historic week!
Sincerely,
Stop Tracking
