Get to know him

June 4th, 2009

Dr. Fox lifts the veil, ever so slightly, to reveal the man behind In Meidas Res.

Movie review: Star Trek

May 15th, 2009

Eric goes the traditional review route. He likes the film.
Zach skips the deep analysis and speaks as a life long Trek fan.
Dr. Fox enjoyed the movie but does not skip the deep analysis because something about the film, he’s not quite sure what, troubles him.
Dejavaboom waves his Trekker cred, genuflects to the new movie and [...]

“When no one would listen, they lived on baked hedgehog”

May 1st, 2009

Dr. Fox has found a description of the profession of “ragged robes and square hats” that he wholeheartedly embraces.

Party time

April 13th, 2009

He’s been doing it wrong. Now he wants to engage in politics with his heart (and time and wallet) as well as his mind. So he joined a poitical party. It’s not the perfect party but its the best place for him right now.

Thoughts on guns and gun owners

March 30th, 2009

It’s thoughtful, it’s not anti-gun ownership, it’s not pro-NRA and it’s kinda long. A worthwhile read and an opportunity to carry on the discussion, or ask questions, in the comments.

Thoughts on saving Political Science’s place in the liberal arts curriculum.

Real geeks don’t choose

March 6th, 2009

Dr. Fox is on the horn’s of the classic “free ticket” dilemma; should he use the tickets to see Watchmen, Star Trek: The Reboot, or Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. You can help him decide which one his wife will let him see in his comments section.

When MTV actually showed music videos

February 6th, 2009

This was a giant among those videos. Enjoy the Sledgehammery awesomeness of Peter Gabriel, courtesy of In Medias Res.

Inauguration thoughts

The dynamic nature of dreams

January 20th, 2009

In light of yesterday’s holiday, and todays inauguration, there is much attention given to the dreams of Martin Luther King Jr., Barack Obama and America. Although the dreams have a core consistency to them, their actual playing out is one of evolution and growth as they encounter the realities of history and humanity. Dr. Russell [...]

Friday’s 80s music video

January 9th, 2009

Unintentionally funny opening (“this promotional clip from 1981 was shot in black and white for artistic reasons”) but who can doubt the music machine that is the Who.

The same age as the Cinncinnati Bengals

January 5th, 2009

Born 3 days after Apollo 8 returned safely to earth and on the same day Trygve Lie, first United Nations Secretary General, passed away, it seems pre-ordained that Russel Arben Fox would be some what politically oriented. He turns loose the teacher in him with 40 lessons for his 40th birthday.
For a more revealing look [...]

A longer, more thought provoking, post of the day

December 18th, 2008

A meditation, with lots-o-links, on surrogate births, social conservatism and morality.

Problem?

December 8th, 2008

What problem? A suggestion that maybe those at the top of the pyramid might have an itty-bitty share of the blame when the world they rule has difficulties. Just a suggestions though. We are really all to blame of course.

We grok his concerns

November 20th, 2008

A Star Trek movie with the original characters (Kirk, Spock, Scotty etc.) but not the original actors. Is this Diet Dr. Pepper genius or New Coke fail? In Medias Res speaks for all of us.

The controversy over California’s passage of Proposition 8 is not confined to California. Russell Arben Fox takes you through his thoughts, and struggles, on the matter.
Local protests of Proposition 8

The power of vegamite

November 14th, 2008

What do Political Science professors do to unwind after the elections? They post deep, meaningful analysis and challenge our thinking as a sort-of post election debriefing.
Or they post music videos from the 80s and a link to a movie starring a homicidal computer. Same effect.

The core of the current economic distress

October 14th, 2008

Dr. Fox has drilled down and found a video that explains the source of our current troubles.

Fox media

October 9th, 2008

He’s on TV and the local newspaper. And he’s not tossing soundbite sized opinions around. If you want your thought processes stimulated here’s the  link.

We defer to the smart people

September 26th, 2008

Douglas and Main does not claim to know anything about finances. We don’t even have ads on the blog. So in the middle of, what appears to be, scary economic times we link to the local experts.
Dr. Harris, a professor of Finance at Friends University, has some thoughts about an article he links to from [...]
