The Politico is just now getting the story out of McCain economic adviser Phil Gramm, and his ties to the subprime mess we are in today. I reported about this on Monday. All the same, I am glad to see the story get some traction now. People need to know that the man behind McCain’s […]

Reuters nails it on the head: Somebody forgot to tell Hillary Clinton the Democratic presidential race is over and Barack Obama won. It’s good to see the media no longer buying the “they pick on me” meme Hillary was trying to put out there. If Hillary wants to come out of this looking good, then […]
