I’m sorry but Obama’s address to school children next week is nothing out of the ordinary. Some are trying to dismiss their concerns as “he might be too political”. Perhaps these people should have focused on their own education and a little bit of history in our nation: On November 14, 1988, Reagan addressed and […]
Growing up in the 70s I have fond memories of Walter Cronkite. I remember hearing his voice fill our living room every evening. With his passing we also lose what greatness in journalism really was.

Shut them down: Nuclear reactors across the Southeast could be forced to throttle back or temporarily shut down later this year because drought is drying […]
Well – he sure didn’t do it during the debate. Hell he didn’t even mention Bush’s name: Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani said in Iowa on Friday that President Bush’s response to terrorism will ensure his legacy is that of “a great president.” “He will be, I believe, a president who will be viewed by […]
It was 25 years ago today that the world was prematurely robbed of one of its greatest peace makers. At 10:50 pm eastern time on December 8, 1980 John Lennon was shot and killed outside of his New York apartment. Hundreds of mourners are expected to gather in the Strawberry Fields section of Central Park […]
