Generation Dem

G

Bush has been the formative political experience for the youngest generation of voters, those 18 to 30. Studies of voting preferences show that the experience imprinted on a generation in its 20s largely determines its future political complexion. This generation is the most Democratic generation ever — more Democratic than the youngest voting generations of the New Deal and the 1960s. In...

Holding Me Back

After reading my late-night/morning round of e-mail, I went online and read a post listing five reasons to create a startup now. I’ve read tons of these, especially with all the Web 2.0 buzz flying around, which peaked just as I was graduating. And while every entrepreneurship blog post, news article, website, and book mentions the high chance of failure and burning through money, they all...
