Some of the most enjoyable political opinion pieces to read counter generally accepted thought and point out something factual that goes against conventional wisdom. A few examples of this kind of fact include...

In March, Dick Cheney got a new heart and this week he was released from the hospital. From a scientific standpoint, while the procedure is remarkable, it is not something that normally merits newspaper headlines. But since it was Cheney, a great array of opinions and commentary bubbled to the surface.

Spot-on piece in today’s D.C. Examiner discussing ORM issues (“online reputation management” for you non-techies!). I’ve heard kglobal’s digital team give the same advice to a number of our clients, including at least two former cabinet officials under President George W. Bush...

In the inaugural post for k-global’s video blog, Jeffrey L. Taylor – Managing Partner with U.S. Government Relations, Intl., in Washington, D.C. – looks at two questions Republicans are debating the day after the Florida primary.

Unfortunately, as I get older, cynicism and skepticism become a bigger part of my personality. I would even say on some topics – politics and the Beltway in particular – I’ve become a bit ofcurmudgeon at the age of 37. Not quite Andy Rooney territory, but still a young curmudgeon.

This Op Ed originally appeared in the Washington Times, but it is a great take on the “digital dilemma” faced by the federal government, other industries and individuals.

Trip for the k-global interns to Fox News, D.C. Bureau is nothing short of impressive in the way the reporters, producers and directors at Fox manage guests and air time while delivering quality news quickly in a demanding environment confined by a small work space...

Republicans taking out of context and criticizing President Obama for his “…a little bit lazy…” comment is unfair, outrageous and precisely why most people not inside the bubble of the Beltway think politics is totally out of control and a joke...

Tuesday, the New York Times ran a quote summarizing in a nutshell President Barack Obama’s problem as he looks toward re-election in 2012 –"I don't have as much enthusiasm this time as I did last time," said Sarah Farr, 20, a student in Las Vegas who worked for the Obama campaign in 2008...

Several misguided efforts are making their way through Congress to ELIMINATE the dollar bill in favor of a dollar coin. This is a terrible idea for a number of reasons. First, Americans like the dollar bill and do not want it replaced by dollar coins...

There was a wonderful piece today in the Washington Examiner by Gene Healy headlined – ‘Mission accomplished’ in Libyan revolution? Unfortunately, today’s Twitter and Facebook world requires immediate judgments and reaction from commentators without much thought or perspective...

Several news articles today mocked the “over-reaction” of the east coast to Hurricane Irene. Given the potential of the storm and the damage actually done - one of the 10 most destructive hurricanes in the last 30 years, according to the New York Times – along with dozens dead, massive flooding and power outages, this criticism seems unwarranted...

You ask - will Dick Cheney's memoir improve his public image? In two words, probably not, which is very unfortunate. With service as vice president, secretary of Defense, representing Wyoming in Congress for a decade, and in the White House as chief of staff, Cheney should be looked at as...

K-global, a business consultancy specializing in public affairs and strategic communications, was awarded Best New Agency of the Year by The Holmes Report, one of the public relations industry's leading trade publications. The recognition comes at a time of rapid growth, both in its size and client base...
