I have two kids right around the same age your daughters -- Jack is 8 and Olivia is 10. My wife Lauren is three months pregnant. We live in a hotel room, Mr. President. None of us are insured.
Well the "Land of 10,000 Lakes" took what seemed like 10,000 years, but the Minnesota Supreme Court finally ruled yesterday in a unanimous decision to certify Al Franken's election victory.
Lieberman lies. You can see it his eyes. But imagine his surprise when he **COUGH**
The vacuum left by former clown-in-chief George W. Bush, ably lead by sinister foil Dick Cheney, has spawned an entire army of wanna-be Bushes: the ni...

There is little doubt that the country has made a political left-turn, leaving opportunistic moderates from both parties scrambling to find their cherished middle.
Until this weekend, I was generally supportive of Specter as the Democratic nominee next year. Now, after twice giving Democrats the finger in 48 hours, my feelings are rapidly evolving.
It's simply too early right now to move into containment mode and dramatic escalation is not a viable option. The middle path is not a good option, but it is the best of a number of bad ones.
Senator Bayh announced today the formation of a "Moderate Dems Working Group", or to put it in layman's terms, a group of 15 or so Bush Dog... I'm sorry... Blue Dog conservative Democratic Senators.
The Jewish community's response is diverse and not the unified front which Jewish groups and the media tried to present.

We need pressures from the left in our party to remind us why we chose to be Democrats rather than Republicans.
Should Israel choose the Lieberman path, limiting the democratic rights of its Arab citizens, it will run directly counter to profound American Jewish values.
1. White House enabling a (re-)united front? 2. Funny who's so interested in those cameras. 3. Why does it seem we're mostly the ones suffering the harsh light?
97.3 per cent of all statistics are made up. That's why it's so helpful for insomniacs to listen to our Washington politicians quoting statistics. ...
The First Family have quickly emerged as positive role models for a generation that seemed adrift. They are poised to systematically realign how Americans view themselves and country.
Did we work so hard, raise so much money and spend so much time sleeping on floors and couches, to give a right wing conservative Republican control over the 2010 census?

He came in determined to avenge his father, or complete him, or outshine him. He leaves having made his father look good -- if only by comparison.

Well, it could've been worse. As 2008 mercifully ends, we're left to ponder a year in which the real and the surreal were pretty much indistinguishable, where insanity actually became tedium.

Alec Baldwin has a passion for justice and that's what we need now.
By the way, if you do run, don't do that flip-flop'ing thing where you start out a "D" and turn into an "R" after election, k?
Oh, please do it, Alec. If you think what the liberal media did to Palin was bad, wait 'til you see what gets put out about you. I hope they tear you down the way they tore down Palin. The only difference is, they won't have to fabricate anything about you. Everything about you is already out there.
I like Alec and I know he cherishes public service as a privilege, but doesn't he have a bitter ex who would be willing to sabotage his efforts in the media on a daily basis?
"If I ever run for anything, the thing I would like to be is governor of New York". That's what actor Alec Baldwin told the New York Times in an October 2006 interview. When asked if he was qualified to be governor, Baldwin answered: "That's what I hate about Arnold Schwarzennegar. His only credentials are that he ran a fitness program under some bygone president."
"I'd love to run against Joe Lieberman. I have no use for him," Baldwin said of Joe Lieberman, the Independent senator from Connecticut.
Baldwin went on to say, "But it's all fantasy. I'm a carry-me-out-in-a-box New Yorker. Here, anything can happen. Who thought Eliot Spitzer would go down the way he did? Senator Hillary Clinton left to serve as secretary of state. Two of the biggest forces gone. Maybe Andrew Cuomo will run for one of their old seats. How much longer will Chuck Schumer stay as senator? After 2013 Bloomberg will be gone. What happens then?"
The comments referring to Lieberman have gotten most of the press today, but if you analyze Baldwin's comments, New York is where he wants to be.
The 2010 New York gubernatorial election is up for grabs. But Baldwin is under contract until 2012 with his popular NBC comedy. After that, it's anybody's guess.
The Alec Baldwin versus Joe Lieberman stories, however, have no merit. The "carry-me-out-in-a-box" New Yorker said so himself.
