Study: Millennial Leaders Are Isolationist; Like Obama, Not Palin

WASHINGTON -- They favor isolationism but revere wartime leaders who used America's power abroad. They worry about China almost as much as Iran as a likely future foe. And they think Barack Obama is the ideal 21st century leader and Sarah Palin is not. Those are just a few of the fascinating gleanings from a new Brookings Institution survey of millennial movers and shakers of the future called "D.C.'s New Guard: What Does the Next Generation of American Leaders Think?" AP / Getty Images A Brookings Institution survey of 1,000 young leaders found that nearly half considered ...

Christine O'Donnell: Don't Hide From Your Witchy Generation X Past

Christine O'Donnell: Don't Hide From Your Witchy Generation X Past

Christine O'Donnell is the Forrest Gump of politics. In 1996, she popped up on MTV in a special talking about the sin of masturbation. In the late 1990s, she appeared on Bill Maher's Politically Incorrect 22 times, according to Maher, and once even cracked sex jokes with Ben Affleck. O'Donnell, 41, is the new Republican U.S. Senate nominee in Delaware. She is also a Generation X candidate, leaving a cyber trail like many in the Rock the Vote generation.

Chin Up, Gen X'ers: Obama's Right There With You

When I offered unsolicited advice, guys, I didn't mean to crush your Generation X dreams and hearts like a cigarette butt. If you don't want to, you don't have to grow up. I'm 14 years old at heart and still think I'm going to live happily ever after with Simon Le Bon. (Although I did get into a wicked argument with him circa 1998 after a Duran Duran concert, and he broke my heart into tiny pieces when he acted so rudely. But that's another story.) Punk Peter Pans, stay young. Keep playing video games. It's OK to still long for Asteroids. Get giddy about the new Tron movie. Please believe ...

Advice to Lonely Gen X Men: Lose the 'What ifs' and Past Loves

Advice to Lonely Gen X Men: Lose the 'What ifs' and Past Loves

It's an epidemic lately: the wistful what-if. My Generation X guy pals are consumed by this ailment. "What if I had asked so-and-so to marry me 10 years ago?" "What if I had agreed to the baby . . . would she have stayed?" "What if I had moved to Seattle and not stayed close to family?" Oh, the laments. They play like a Nirvana song among the never-married or divorced former slacker boys. When I read Andrew Cohen's Politics Daily piece about the love of his life marrying someone else, the same symptoms popped up. I immediately wanted to invite him out for a beer and listen as he talked ...
