By now I’m sure everyone has heard that Keith Olbermann has been suspended indefinitely from MSNBC for contributing to political campaigns without disclosing those contributions to his superiors at MSNBC. There has been a lot of back and forth over this decision in the blogosphere and twitterverse today. I have mixed feelings on the story. […]
Rand Paul claims to be this “small government’” Libertarian, the kind of person almost synonymous with “Tea Party”, but when it comes to Medicare, that’s a different story.

We saw it after Ft. Hood and now we are seeing it again – a Republican Party that cares nothing about actual terrorism, but rather playing politics with it. A perfect example of this is Mary Matalin, who said on CNN yesterday that Bush “inherited” the 9/11 attacks. Inherited to the point that Bush ignored […]

Here is the resolution: Whereas Christmas is a national holiday celebrated on December 25; and Whereas the Framers intended that the First Amendment of the Constitution, in prohibiting the establishment […]
