This is really bad for a Senator, but even worse for a lawyer: U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham may have a future as a fiction writer. He’s being accused of fabricating a Senate debate and sending it to the U.S. Supreme Court, which didn’t think much of the work. The high court dismissed it. At issue […]
I just received this little piece of good news in my email from the Ohio Democratic Party: Cincinnati, Ohio – A poll released today shows Rep. Jean Schmidt tied with Dr. Victoria Wulsin, her Democratic challenger, in their race for Congress. A mere 33% of likely voters in Ohio’s 2nd District approve of Schmidt’s job […]

Think Progress has an interesting post up about the White House staffers getting a raise while at the same time opposing an increase on the minimum wage: This year the highest paid staffers in the White House – including Karl Rove, Dan Bartlett and Steven Hadley – got a cost-of-living adjustment of $4,200, boosting their […]
I first started this blog almost 14 months ago. I was not one of the political bloggers that came from a site like Daily Kos or MyDD, instead I just went out and did it. I have always had a deep passion for politics, and that was one of my motivations to jump into the […]
