Obama again refused to give a strong defense of the public option himself. By doing so, he just dug the hole deeper. What exactly does Obama stand for in the health care debate?
With 20,000 illegal guns from America recovered at crime scenes in Mexico over the last five years, there is no excuse for Congress and the President not to take steps now to close the gun show loophole.
The Edwards and Palin stories both underscore the quirk in our electoral system through which vice presidents are nominated.
We live in the era of the seamless 24/7 campaign. You snooze, you lose. Could just be the change that allows a new slate of candidates, including women, to emerge in both parties.
Thanks, Sarah Palin for being a role model our daughters can look up to. Thanks for living up to the stereotype that women aren't tough enough to stick it out.
Sarah's resignation confirms what her values actually are by defining what is most important to her. Governor Palin is going to keep as much of her newfound money as she can.
What separates humans from animals can be summed up as one simple thing -- the mastery of fire. Even "using tools" doesn't cut it anymore, as apes ha...
The key in Afghanistan is the economy and not the military. The public should be demanding deeper press coverage of U.S. policy and strategy related to economic development.
Obama's approach to both Iran and Venezuela takes a sledgehammer to their anti-American narratives, appealing directly to the people.
Canada wants to send destructive crude oil our way via new pipelines that will run straight through our heartland. And Canada is teaming up with Big Oil to make this "dream" come true.
It is hard to conceive of Hillary Clinton or Sarah Palin holding a news conference to say they had been conducting an affair, disappeared to another country to call off an affair or visited a male prostitute.
The Women's Media Center was packed with women active in old and new media, advocacy, and culture.
There is no reason to think that this bill is going to be Obama's only legacy on energy. Already there's been the stimulus bill, the new mileage standards and the big climate impacts report.

Turkmenistan remains one of the most repressive countries in the world. It needs to fully break with the repressive practices of the Niazov era, and its international partners need to say so.
This "team of rivals" has exceeded most people's expectations in the first five months and set a fundamentally new course in U.S. foreign policy.
It's finally here! The glamazons of government are going head-to-head in the ultimate political fashion smackdown. Sure these friends and frenemies ar...
