Unfortunately for Paterson, he has disadvantages that Corzine did not: a contested primary next September and powerful leaders opposed to his renomination.
The most idiotic thing being said about America's involvement in Afghanistan is that the best way to protect the 68,000 U.S. troops there now is by putting an additional 40,000 in harm's way.
By the People: The Election of Barack Obama, is full of never-before-seen footage behind the scenes during the Illinois U.S. Senator's improbable run for the White House.
Every news provider and we, as media trainers, whose job is to prep people who talk to news providers, know one essential truth: it's all about story-...
Frankly, I'd just be devastated if I couldn't get a bowl of matzo ball soup or a great corned beef sandwich with chopped liver on a whim. Luckily, author David Sax knows how to save the deli.
For neurological illnesses, a body of scientific research demonstrates that certain food additives contribute to excessive nerve cell firing, and thus may possibly trigger neurological incidents.
This is an administration put in office on a campaign pledge of practicality over ideology. In the Fox case, it is treading on ideological terrain. I don't think it's the job of Obama's top staff to use government time to go after Fox.
The world knows our support of Israel is the cause of terrorism against the United States. But politicians in Washington can't acknowledge this.

Where does the President get off favoring his close friends' preferences for such allocations, and where do they get off lobbying him?
Perhaps what America is observing is political opportunism in its freshest form. We see this a great deal in the new order of the entertainment industry: fame without responsibility.
Why do economic and racial segregation still dog us in 2009 -- the forty-fifth anniversary of the Civil Rights Act -- and what, if anything, can be done?
Is health reform falling victim to lackluster messaging and a poor campaign? Are there better alternatives? Let's play strategist!
Obama is afraid to tell Americans that -- well, remember that old sign: "You can have it cheaper, better, and more of it -- but not all at the same time."
