Stolen Global Warming Emails Show Scientists Snarky Side
A batch of emails were stolen and climate skeptics claim that they cast doubt on the evidence for human induced global warming. The fossil fuel indus...
Glenn Beck for Governor
Beck has become a celebrity and the source of much personal conflict for me. On the one hand, he's a legitimate, 'out' ADHD role model. In addition, the condition seems to contribute heavily to his success.
Goldman Sachs' $500 Million Mea Culpa
It's truly touching that Goldman Sachs' CEO Lloyd Blankfein, who recently said that his too-big-to-fail, Fed-backed holding company is doing "God's wo...
Friday Talking Points [101] -- Count Me With The Misfits
Whether or not Harry Reid ever gets his act together, the achievement of Nancy Pelosi getting healthcare reform legislation should stand on its own as an admirable political achievement.
Sean Hannity's Act of Neo-Contrition
Fox News host Sean Hannity did something many will call shocking, some will call phony and insincere, and I'll call, at the very least, uncharacteristic. He admitted that Jon Stewart was right
UN Note: The Missing U.S. Ambassador
Susan Rice, known for her powerful support for accountability regarding war crimes in Darfur, regardless of potential political consequences, had of course reversed herself when the issue was accountability for Gaza.

Obama Won Last Year Only Because Stephen Colbert Dropped Out!
Barack Obama ended up beating John McCain rather easily one year ago, but Stephen Colbert didn't stay in the race for the White House or Obama could have really been in trouble (for a minute or two, anyway).
Shock Barack: Trick or Treat?
The Shocking Barack bloggers wanted to deliver their scooters to the President at the White House. Only one problem: apparently he wasn't expecting company.
NPR Gets in News Staff's Facebook
One has to wonder just what the editors at NPR will say if they are asked, "Is it OK to post a link to last night's Jon Stewart rant or to Frank Rich's recent editorial on my Facebook page?"
Why the White House Is 100% Right to Challenge Fox News

Afghanistan represents the opportunity for Obama to serve the American people brilliantly and, along the way, demonstrate that he deserves the Nobel Peace Prize.
Olympic Bid a No-Win Situation for Obama
But it is one hell of a leap to compare Obama's participation in Chicago's Olympic bid to his health care reform efforts.
