Twitter came of age in America this week. The citizen journalists of twitter far surpassed the real time coverage of cable television of the events during the Boston and Watertown siege. Those like @michaelskolnick, @diggaduh, @wesleylowery, @sethmnookin, and many others too numerous to name, rocked. They were individually and collaboratively...

Why are liberals falling down the rabbit hole? Oh woe is me, bemoan liberals far and wide across this country. The president is not doing this or that. He's obviously abandoned them, and doesn't love them anymore. In fact, he's left them downtrodden and wailing into the night with no...

Doesn't anyone get why CEO Marissa Mayer put the kibosh on telecommuting right now at Yahoo? It wasn't discrimination folks. You see when you're in the middle of a huge, nasty turnaround and trying to change the culture of a company -- people need to show up at...

Killing children broke something fundamental in our culture. Babies and guns do not belong in the same sentence. Guns must never again be used to kill children. Many have asked if we have waited too long for action, the answer is simply no. The slaughter of children sparked an unprecedented...

It's easy to see why Governor Christie may be on a test drive for 2016, and not just the warm up act for icy GOP 2012 presidential frontrunner, Mitt Romney. In fact, Christie may have that rare mixture of smarts and down home charm -- all wrapped up in an...

Is our American culture so immersed in the sickness of misogyny that it can't see the forest from the trees with the GOP? Men, or anyone else without female apparatus, do not get to make decisions about women's bodies. Reproductive rights are an issue of health care plain and simple....

Newt Gingrich and Jon Huntsman definitely have a thing going on. The quintessential question is whether this affair will last, and become a long-term marriage of convenience. This pair may be simpatico in some very important ways, particularly foreign affairs regarding Israel, Iran and China. After...

Liberals, the love affair with former Governor Jon Huntsman is finally over. Kaput once and for all after he showed his true colors yesterday during a speech debunking global warming at the Heritage Foundation. Many liberals were willing to overlook all of his foibles to forsake President Obama....

After all we spent on the war in Iraq, in money and lost lives, haven't the Republicans figured out - that war is not the answer? They simply cannot jumpstart the economy on the back of a new war. No, no, no. There is no money left, the military is...

Newt has the Tiffany lifestyle problem, Romney the liberal issue and Herman the blonde bombshell syndrome. If only the genie had stayed in the bottle, there certainly would have been a Romney/Cain business ticket for the Republican nomination for President in 2012. It would...

The GOP is yet again manipulating the American Jewish vote for the upcoming election. It sure feels like the mighty hand of mythmaker, Frank Luntz, working in stealth behind the scenes because this community is ripe to be played like a violin. Just as the Republicans did in the 2004...

It's a really bad time to even be middle class in this country, and forget about being poor. The only way to be protected is to be very wealthy: then you are guaranteed that your house is safe, your medical care is covered, and your children will have a future....

Egypt may have made their single biggest strategic blunder by attempting to shut down the Internet and cell networks. Indeed, by doing so they may have sealed their destiny. Yeah, yeah, yeah of course Facebook and Twitter are organizing tools for crowd sourcing. But so what! Let them come out...

WikiLeaks raises some of the most poignant questions of our time about the power of cyber warfare, the role of hackers, and the future of the Internet. It is not a coincidence that Madame Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has created a whole new effort to explore and...

WikiLeaks' self-acclaimed leader, Julian Assange is the new rebel with a cause, and a computer. In fact, he might be a geek gone wild, a techno-hero hacker, or just the smartest, damn businessman we've ever encountered. You know, he could have been the next Mark Zuckerberg. Yes, think...

The Bristol Palin story is like that of a modern day Cinderella as she debuts before millions of viewers on prime time television. Her mother, former Governor Sarah Palin and her advisors are completely brilliant. Thank you very much Frank and Company....

So much for making nice Mr. President, the gloves are off as the Republican leadership comes out swinging. These folks don't want to work with you, or your minions or any of us. Just tune into FOX News at any random moment, and the disdain is visceral. And...

Today begins the days of John Boehner, aka the Orange Man. Listen, you can hear his horse approaching. Oh my, it's like a new Marlboro commercial. Guess he and Obama can grab a smoke together outside the Oval Office. Yikes! That's a real Hallmark moment.

Early this...

The 9/11 of the middle class is the consumer credit debacle. It is the gift that keeps on giving. The reality is that the housing crisis is just one piece of this really big, ugly mess. It seems to me that our president must call for immediate reform and take...

Meg blinked for the first time in an almost flawless campaign. Until this week, it appeared that the GOP had successfully rolled out their new product -- a conservative, ambitious businesswoman with a big check book. Her branding was effective and her television advertising brilliant. Political consultant
