On the heels of President Obama's September 22 speech before the United Nations Climate Change Summit and with Congress debating legislation, sixty-nine private industry executives, investors, and business leaders from the clean technology sector have delivered a letter to the United States Senate calling for swift congressional...

What they say: Republicans say they hate government but also claim to be strict constructionists when it comes to the Constitution, but when it comes to Americans' constitutional right to privacy, you would be surprised where they stand.

What they actually believe: In the midst of the Sotomayor confirmation, Americans...

South Carolina's Governor Mark Sanford announced two great epiphanies today: why he should not resign (gosh, we thought he was going to) and why his fellow South Carolina Republicans would not cooperate with him the last few years (no, it's not why you think).

In a message posted...

Listen up all you free marketeers, billions of dollars of private investment dollars have been pouring into the economy here at home and around the world to build a new clean energy economy. After eight years of losing competitive economic ground to Europe and...

It has just gotten awful for the Republicans. Tear-shedding gut-wrenching heart-breaking sad.

The party of tough talk and unflappable belief in their version of America -- the party willing to send others' kids to war to prove how tough they are -- has...

Last week I was invited to join Sean Hannity again on his primetime show on Fox News. His viewers loved it, sending me several warm and fuzzy emails shortly after advocating for President Obama and change that at least some of us believe in...

I saw you on Hannity...

How Bush Ruined the Free Market
(or Why Your Cousin on Wall Street Can't Bet With Your Money Anymore)

Do you realize it took George Bush longer to "win" his war against a small, third world nation once led by a third-rate dictator than it took us the U.S....

Here's another curious fact as the Republicans reject the American people's call for an end to gridlock partisanship. No House Republicans voted for Bill Clinton's 1993 economic stimulus package just like every single one of them rejected President Obama's this past week.

It seems those guys just want...

Here's a curious fact: President Obama's and the Democratic Congress' tax cuts in their first three weeks are larger than Bush's combined tax cuts in his first three years.

Why won't anyone (anyone!) among our nation's leaders call this government bailout business what it is -- corporate socialism?

I could never imagine that the ultimate free marketeers have begged and pleaded for the big, bad, slow, inefficient, socialist government to take over major pillars of the free market economy...

My father Don Fowler is a superdelegate. I love my father, and I trust my father. And I gave up letting my father dictate my life since he determined how late I got to stay up at night.

So, as much as I love and respect him, I don't...

Campaign '08: The Blogs & Talk Radio
A whole lot of bark, but where's that bite?

Where are they? The self-described voices of the Republican & Democratic base seem rather impotent in this presidential election. Liberal blogs and conservative talk radio have been unable to direct, much less dramatically...

Let us love our congressional Democrats. Let us appreciate them. Let us praise them. Let us recognize that they are fighting the good fight. For goodness sakes, let's even have a little sympathy for them!

In less than a year, the Democratic Congress has accomplished quite a bit thanks...

Why Second Choice Might Mean First Place on Caucus Night

Absolutely fascinating news from the Iowa Obama campaign ...

While Obama & Clinton & Edwards are close to tied in Iowa, Obama reportedly has a substantial lead in the "Who's your second choice?" category. In Iowa, where I've...

In every big election, conventional wisdom that forms before the election often becomes the accepted truth for what happened even after the election is over -- even when the facts prove otherwise. Let's examine the developed conventional wisdom in the media and among those who want to take credit or...

"It is time for a national oil change. That is apparent to anyone who has looked at our national dipstick."
- Al Gore, September 18 at the NYU School of Law

Lots of detractors and naysayers have turned from questioning Al Gore's powerful case that global warming...

Dick Cheney on "Meet the Press" this morning about Iraq ...
"If we had to do it over again, we'd do exactly the same thing."

More on Iraq:
"I think we've done a pretty good job."

World War II: Two empires defeated. Two dictators stopped. Four years, nine months.
The "Global War on Terror": One terrorist organization. One leader forgotten and still free. Five years and counting.
