Remember during the debate over the Central American Free Trade Agreement, every Republican politician and corporate lobbyist was giving the public the "free trade creates American jobs" line?
If you don't live in the Washington Beltway, you've probably noticed that there's a major health care crisis unfolding in America. In the richest coun...
The movie "Clue" is one of my favorites, in part, because the viewer gets to see three possible endings. So in that same Clue-like vein, I want to offer my thoughts on the possible outcomes of the CT primary.
It doesn't matter how many troops are killed or maimed - all that matters to Joe is a need to let everyone know that he's "strong," manly - and most importantly, not George McGovern.

It's the best of both worlds for Joe: He gets to soil his own bed, and then use the lack of control of his faculties as a way to save his own ass. If only he had fought so hard against, say, the Iraq War.

Less than two weeks ago Lieberman was begging Al Sharpton to endorse his campaign, and now two weeks later, he's calling an endorsement by Sharpton a "politcal albatross."
