Dr. Mark Drapeau is a relative new guy on the social media block, but he seems to have established a large residence in a short period of time. He only posted his first blog in August 2008, and that was a Mashable guest. In fact his personal blog is just starting this week. He has been on Twitter fo...

Over in Greensboro there's been a push to reinstate protest petitions and it's a pretty heated battle. Â It's a complicated story and if you don't track Greensboro politics it is kind of hard to follow.

This past week, we witnessed history with the election of President Barack Obama. He is certainly America’s first black president, but unfortunately, that’s where the highlighted differences seem to end. Little coverage is given to the fact that he is also the first Gen-X president. He i...

People seemed to enjoy the last YouTube video we posted from TARP overseer Elizabeth Warren, so hey, let's go back to that well.

Well Rudy Giuliani and Sarah Palin don’t get the last laugh. It turns out that the community organizer could kick the 9/11 hero’s ass and take down a helicopter-armed rogue moose-hunter for good measure. When Rudy and Palin scoffed at Obama’s background as a community organizer, I ...
