What's Our Motley Crew Reading?

Popular Topix

 

Do you find news and current events dull, boring, confusing?

You are not alone!

We at USDemocrazy are completely confused. But we want to change and we have a mission.

Our goal… to be only partially confused.

With the help of a ragtag but enthusiastic group of student bloggers, we are trying to decipher the quirks and quandries of current events.

We scan the web for information on the important, curious and funny news of the day.

We then try to share what we have learned with you… in language that is understandable to all.

Our job is to make normally dull but important information about our world and our democracy, fun.

Our motto (In Latin no less!): Veni, Risi, Percepi.

Translated: I came, I laughed, I learned.

UMBC Imaging Research Center Kal
Robert W. Deutsch Foundation

USDemocrazy is edited by renowned editorial cartoonist Kevin KAL Kallaugher and staffed by brilliant band of vagabonding bloggateers from the University of Maryland,Baltimore County (UMBC). USDemocrazy was born and nurtured at UMBC’s Imaging Research Center (IRC). The Sondheim scholars program supplies additional support (and the occasional pizza) to the USDemocrazy team.

UMBC is a public research university of 12,000 really interesting students located between Baltimore and Washington, DC.  Working alongside creative faculty, UMBC students come up with all kinds of projects you wouldn’t expect college students to run—like USDemocrazy. In fact, the site—brought to you by majors in political science, visual arts, history and more—is just one example of how UMBC students find ways to learn and get creative beyond the classroom.

    • BlackSheep says:

      Well at least the USDemocrazy “liberals” know how to capitalize and be consistent with whether they are utilizing texting lingo “r” or the english language “are” within one thought.

  4. Bryan says:

    This just in…. the United States is NOT a democracy. It’s a constitutional republic.

  5. Hey! I loved your post; it’s better than 90% of the other blog posts I read (and I mean it)! I didn’t see a contact form so I hope you don’t mind me posting here. My hubby insisted that I offer you some advice. Both of us have been into blogging since 2007, so it’s safe to say we’re a bit talented and skillful. Both of us live extremely comfortably just by posting on our blogs. I wanted to let you know there’s a couple changes you can make to your blog that would increase revenue by AT LEAST triple whatever you’re making right now! There’s this site called http://alturl.com/iyp53 – it tripled (almost even quadrupled!) the revenue for all my blogs. The tool will actually send targeted traffic to YOUR blog. I had Google AdSense on my blog and I went from making $2-5 a day to $100-200 a day within one week! Cool, huh? Yesterday I even made a whopping $331 when I setup two more blogs and used the software on them! I just learned about it a few weeks ago and I never plan on running a blog without it again. :) Take care and good luck!

      If you actually want to contact them (and not just post spam), there is a “Contact US” link at the bottom of the left side of the page in the “Who the Heck Are We” section, which tells you to e-mail them at “usdemocrazy@gmail.com”.
