I predict that Occupy Wall Street will be a campaign cash cow for Republicans. If you've ever wanted to pull back the curtain and look behind the s...
The Wall Street Journal last week performed its usual disservice by publishing an extremely misleading opinion piece on climate change. That column is not merely an opinion piece. It is part of that paper's steady drumbeat of opposition to action on climate change.
No one is confused about the message. Wall Street got bailed out; Main Street was abandoned. The top 1% rigs the rules and pockets the rewards. And 99% get sent the bill for the party they weren't even invited to.
UPDATE: The title of this article is being recanted by me, the author, as it is misleading. I made a mistake, and apologize to the readers for that mi...
Poor Roger Ailes. He wants to play kingmaker, he's just having trouble finding a viable king.
Would you believe that tomorrow we are expected to put aside our own important work and honor teachers? That's right, we're supposed to drop everything and pay homage to those lazy, overpaid, 'we've-got-tenure-and-you-don't' incompetents.
Welcome back, everyone, to this week's edition of So You Think You Can President?!? Just to remind everyone, this year we've got the Republican field of candidates for the party's nomination.

Analysts are busy writing obituaries for Rick Perry's presidential aspirations and there are many of us who would like to believe it. But his current predicament is only a transitory moment in the GOP primary.
That said, one or two moments briefly managed to move the discussion beyond the usual Fox News agitprop.
Lucky Ricky Perry is the guy in the perfect position to win the GOP nomination by default. The Texas governor is neither as smart or as poised as the former Massachusetts governor, but he's close enough to be the first choice of the primary voters who will take their anger against Obama into the polls this winter and into next spring. Romney's repeated squishiness on social issues will give them pause and then his religion will help them make their decision to vote for Perry. In the end, Rick Perry will win. And the GOP will lose.
Apparently the president started another war on Monday and it has Republicans playing the role of hippy peacenik -- not to offend hippy peaceniks. Th...
What has been lost in public discourse is the use of hard facts to make the point we want to get across. Reporting is too often simply the restating of what someone else says without checking the facts.
A long-running Gallup poll on the question of human origins finds that evolution beats creationism 56 percent to 40 percent.
