Will Letterman now start to censor himself with his writers and, worse, when he interacts with his guests? All it takes is another person to mislead the media and public as Palin has shamelessly done.

Why shouldn't the people also have their own lawyer?

I'd love to spend some time in the developing world. (Wouldn't it be great if we could find a way to "green" China, India and Africa, while helping to alleviate global poverty?)

J. Kenneth Blackwell, whose administration of the '04 election made Katherine Harris look like Mary Tyler Moore, is pushing to become chair of the RNC. I support his selection wholeheartedly.

I don't really understand why we're paying so much attention to Bernard Madoff. As we're discovering, almost the entire economy is the moral equivalent of a Ponzi scheme.

Does Blago -- and the rest of the white collar criminals of late -- know something we don't? It's as if the risk of getting caught was outweighed by their panic to get as much as they could before it's all gone.

America is suffering. She is, however, afflicted with an avoidable condition she brought on herself, like a hangover. Only this one's interminable and internationally contagious.

Many supermarkets are continuing to stock "red list" seafood like orange roughy, swordfish, and Chilean sea bass -- some of the world's most critically imperiled species.

Clearly the entire country is coming to terms with the outcome of the election. Many are getting back to their routines, others are more engaged in current events.

I was advised to take a break from political clutter and that peculiar kind of tunnel vision that develops when we focus too closely on any tiny part of the huge world around us.

The election season has been a long and sometimes difficult journey. Many of us have been training our minds and bodies to get into some pretty self-defeating habits.

Trying not to lose my cool, I explained to a poll worker that someone very famous I'd seen on television had claimed that provisional ballots often get thrown out.

Being pleased to make this vote, this connection with my land again will stay with me for as long as what forever might be.

If the election of 2000 reminded us that every vote counts, 2008 has provoked a wholesale political awakening. Across the globe, US politics is, as Tina Brown might say, the big fat story.

The ad's clear aim it to instill fear in less informed voters hours before the polls open. The ad says that a President Obama would fail to protect the nation or keep it safe.

As an artist, I have, like the rest of my species, huge antennas and right now I find it simply impossible to make or write or think about art and not think about the election.
