Now that Newt Gingrich has shockingly won the South Carolina primary and could be headed for a win in Florida, it seems the time has come to ask: who is Newt Gingrich? And what is it about this man that GOP voters are suddenly responding to? To find out, let's...

Now that Weinergate has been officially behind us for more than a week, it's time to look forward and try to figure out what congressional scandal will distract us next. The media is already hungry for some fresh meat. And considering how obvious it seems, in retrospect, that Anthony Weiner...

I watched the State of the Union and yet I was not given a televised rebuttal to it in which I could share my talking points. I mean thoughts. And I'm outraged about it. Because as a person with nothing new, interesting, or insightful to say I should really be...

Kansas congresswoman Lynn Jenkins recently apologized for offending anyone with her comment about her fellow Republicans "trying to find a great white hope." She said that the comment had nothing to do with President Obama and she claimed that she was completely unaware that the...

Like many people, when I found out that Mark Sanford had been having an affair with a woman who lived in Argentina I was shocked.
He was having an affair with a woman?
Not a man who had undergone gender reassignment surgery to become a woman? Not a transgender woman?...

As I was watching the one-sided cage match that was Thursday night's Daily Show I thought, wow, I don't think I'll ever be able to look at that network in quite the same way. I didn't quite realize how borderline irresponsible they have been in their programming, especially in this...

It was revealed earlier this week that the two youngest kids from Slumdog Millionaire, Azharuddin Ismail and Rubina Ali, have returned home and are already having problems. Azharuddin is suffering from "exhaustion" and Rubina is refusing to change out of her expensive designer dress. Also, their parents are trying...

These United States are confronted with an economic affliction of great proportions. It crushes the struggling young and the fixed-income elderly alike. It threatens to shatter the lives of millions of our people. Idle industries have cast workers into unemployment, human misery, and personal indignity. For decades we have piled...

5) Praise be to Allah.
4) Bill Ayers is not my friend. But he is my father.
3) You know what I really don't care about? 9/11.
2) It's not that I don't support the war in Iraq; it's just that I don't support the troops.
1) I think The...

So it turns out that the motives of Jim Adkisson, the man who killed two people at the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church, were that he was angered by the church's stance on gays and that he simply wanted to kill as many liberals as possible.
Oh,...

I used to like Barack Obama. I thought he seemed like a pretty good guy. But after this past week I can no longer give him my vote. I mean did you see how the media treated him? It's like they're in love with him! And I don't know...

I was reciting the oath of office last night as I am wont to do (often a mirror is involved), and I was struck by the fact that nowhere does it specify that the president has an obligation to serve the best interests of the people. The Constitution yes, but...

Almost a week has passed, but like most good people, I'm still outraged. And shocked! I still can't believe such a thing could happen.
I mean, how could you, Miley Cyrus?
Shame on you for using your underage sexuality to boost your profile and...
