It's nice to see that even after the election, conservatives are still playing the "liberal gotcha media" card every time they expose themselves as being shamefully ignorant regarding the issues they care about most.

Last Wednesday, a media firestorm erupted after a seventeen-year-old girl named Jackie was interviewed by MSNBC's...

Regretfully, for all of its freedom, liberties, and economic opportunities, America's blood has been poisoned by hypocrisy since the time of our nation's conception.

Slavery was our first cancer. It is our original sin. And although slavery was never mentioned directly in the Constitution, the three-fifths compromise sticks out like...

Earlier this week, Max Baucus, Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, released his bipartisan attempt at a health care bill. From the moment it hit the Senate floor, the Baucus Plan was bipartisanly hated.

Baucus is a man who has received millions of dollars from the health care...

At the end of a brutal month of August, marked by tumultuous town hall meetings, citizens packing heat at presidential events, and virtually no progress on health care, Democrats have understandably become frustrated and cynical. After spending much of my summer in 2008 working to help get then-Senator Obama elected...

As a high school student with serious interests in journalism and politics, cable news has fascinated me for quite some time. Some of what we see on the news has merit, but most of it I find far more disturbing than informative.

Now, I am a fairly liberal guy. I...

For better or for worse (probably the latter) Rush Limbaugh manages to garner a lot of press from the so-called "liberal media" thanks to the hate and incoherent venom he spews every day on his talk radio program. Over the last few days I have made a pledge to spend...

It's unfortunate but generally true that most people, even the most informed political junkies, do not know who their state senator is. State senate activities usually fly quietly under the radar until power struggles, and shortly thereafter, weed, emerge and combine to make the kind of news...

On March 29, I read a snippet of news that I had never seen before. This was a rare piece of baseball-related information that truly shocked me. The headline read:

Dontrelle Willis on DL with Anxiety Disorder

What?

I had never heard of an athlete being deactivated for any type...

Part II of the Subway Series is set to get underway tonight at Citi Field (even though I'm still calling it 'Shea') with CC Sabathia of the Yankees facing off against the Mets' Mike Pelfrey. This will be the first Subway Series in the Mets' new ballpark, a pitcher's...

As mass protesting and violence continue to rage through the streets of Tehran, Iranian-Americans and sympathizers from around the New York area gathered at the United Nations this past Saturday to demonstrate on behalf of Iranian freedom. The pouring rain did not stop over 500 people from showing up at...

The final portion of the draft's first round is where most of the big spenders have their draft choices. The Angels, Red Sox, Yankees and Cubs all hold picks between twenty-one and thirty-two, and if a big bonus seeking high schooler drops into this range, the drama begins. Several premiere...

Bookended by the Rockies at 11, and the Blue Jays at 20, the middle of the first round is as up in the air as ever. Now, we'll try and sort through this cluster of talent in part two of the Huffington Post's draft preview.

Over the last few years, the Major League Baseball First Year Player Draft (or the Rule 4 draft, if you will) has stepped out of obscurity and into the spotlight. In 2007, ESPN cut the cord on the closed-door conference call that used to make up the Amateur Draft as...
