Blue America has run TV spots against Lincoln all summer and fall and she's watched her re-elect numbers dwindle. This week Blue America has a brand new ad for Arkansas voters to look at.
The massacre at Fort Hood has me wondering what kind of nation we really are. My inescapable conclusion is that as a nation, we're a fighter, not a lo...

Why is it that it is easier to take the country into war without justification than it is to ensure that every American is entitled to health care?

Google the meaning of backpfeifengesicht and see if it doesn't evoke Joe Lieberman! What is it about that face?

Is there a more hypocritical figure in American politics than Joe Lieberman? His threat to thwart a vote on health care legislation should be the last straw that ends his Democratic caucus connection.
