There’s something wrong with the 2013 Oakland Raiders. This team just doesn’t have the old Oakland Raiders ethic or attitude. It doesn’t have an offense that attacks deep.

This is something this blogger has to adress because it seems to point to a sweet spot in American Cultural Change – that is a dynamic that’s acknowledged, but still a point of contention.

This Presidential election has resurrected a very interesting dichotomy — The “debate smile.” Urban Dictionary says it is a forced smile that a person in the spotlight (in this case we can clearly look at our candidates) adopts in reaction to an opponent’s attack during a verbal spar.
