Just when I think politics is enough to make me sick, the Democrats rise above resentment, bitterness, competitiveness and rancor. At 4:48 PM Denver time, Hillary Clinton released her New York . . . more

Hey. I am not criticizing John McCain for wanting to spend the next four years with an ex-beauty queen with a silver tongue, as that is his style, but one has to wonder if Sarah Palin is the . . . more

First my bias. I love to read which makes it hard for me to be happy during an election year or even mildly misinformed. I am also an active Obama volunteer and have been making telephone calls . . . more

As many of you know, I am passionate about our country, but the United States of America has fallen on very sad times. The economic breakdown of late is merely the latest symptom of the moral and . . . more

Tonight while the Iowa caucus is underway I keep having this recurring thought... Pick a card... any card... but just pick one quick! I imagine a magician with extreme sleight of hands abilities flashing . . . more

The Spitzer, Craig, Vittner and (Bill) Clinton 'sex scandals' seem to brightly illuminate one truth. Plenty of married people cheat on each other. Go to any community in the country . . . more
