U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now match those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America’s history, the trigger for what came next.

This is how the Republican’s manage our government: The federal government erroneously has reimbursed about 230,000 Medicare recipients for monthly premiums they paid this year for prescription drug coverage.

This is awesome news: Sen. Joe Lieberman, under fire from activists in his own party, has lost ground to his challenger and is narrowly trailing him for the first time in their race for the Democratic nomination, a new poll released Thursday shows. Businessman Ned Lamont had support from 51 percent and Lieberman from 47 […]

John has a video up of Olbermann tonight where he calls out O’Reilly again. This is a well deserved calling out (they all are) and proves that O’Reilly could care less about the memory of our fallen soldiers when it comes to proving a point or trying to win an argument: Olbermann: The bodies at […]

With 11% of the precincts reporting, Republican Ken Blackwell has a 10 percent lead over challenger Jim Petro. The Democrat primary is not as close. Ted Strickland has a 54% lead over Bryan Flannery.
