What's anarchy again? The definition is: The absence of government; a state of lawlessness due to the absence or inefficiency of the supreme power; political disorder.
Watching a US senator and VP candidate reveal his fear before a national audience was quite a remarkable thing. In doing so, Biden provided some much-needed release for fathers.
Palin's answers to these questions showed that she just plain doesn't know what the Constitution says about the office she's running for.
Weeks after Joe Biden's election to congress, his wife and daughter would perish and I would write a note of condolence. Though the letter is long gone, his response back to me has been kept for 36 years.
Though I have not looked, I bet you twenty dollars my 401K looks like the Y2K. Actually, make that five dollars. I have been treating my 01K as I tr...
In his column after the vice presidential debate last week, the New York Times' David Brooks, a man with deep respect for erudition, surprisingly wrot...
During the vice presidential debate, Sarah Palin couldn't resist showing off her knowledge of a new term: "domestic terrorist."
I work with eleven statewide coalitions representing a million people, all fighting for policies that value families at work. Here are some questions we wish Gwen Ifill had been allowed to ask.
Sarah Palin is out of control. This was the one opportunity for us to really see it, and with stronger moderation and Joe Biden going for the jugular we could have seen her go down.
A friend of mine has a 16 year old daughter, with whom she watched the Vice Presidential debate. About halfway through the teen turned to her mom and ...
I know Sarah Palin because I went to school with her. And, in fact, most women did. Then, the Queen Bees or Mean Girls were just that. Now, they're really scary.
Liz Umlas has joined forces with her daughter Rachel to entertain OffTheBus readers with their political cartoons. Rachel supplies the artistic skills, and Liz brings the political ideas.
Many employees, and we number in the thousands, who work on the entertainment side of Fox often feel embarrassed, ashamed, and angry at the blatant, one-sided, dis-informational tactics of the producers, staff, and on-air "talent" at Fox News.
Thursday night' s vice presidential debate that was broadcast in high definition allowed us to see each candidate's skin in an unusual amount of detail.
The economy is about more than just Wall Street bailouts. It's about how we're going to pay for escalating childcare, how we can pull together healthcare coverage for our kids.
Palin is in the driver's seat and plans to stay there. Her take-no-prisoners nasty streak and extreme right wing views have found kindred spirits now that she's fully staffed up with veterans of Bush.
Were she black, Sarah Palin's performance would have been skewered by the right as undignified and demeaning to the office she seeks.
"When we want to make changes, it's not enough to protest or march. We need to contact our congressmen and elected officials to tell them how we feel about issues."
Karl Rove's campaign style, predicated on the assumption that the majority of people are gullible and can be taken advantage of, seems to have gone the way of trickle-down economics.

I just wanted to share my opinion about the vice presidential dabates. Joe Biden won because he was so sincere, intelligent, and respectful. He is someone Americans should be very proud to elect. As a European, I wish I could vote in the real election, not only online. Even I whose native language is not English, understood the meaningless, memorized sentences that Sarah Palin was giving in her speech last night. She didn't answer the questions, she was trying to go around and around what she had memorized, and it didn't bother her that she didn't answer the moderator's questions. I wonder how she can get even the vote of 20% in this online poll. How desperate McCain must have been to select her! I wish Obama and Joe Biden luck.
You have to admit, Miss Sarah makes good material for SNL.
how true. She was taught well in those days in AZ. but, when she speaks without help and training, well, you know the story. JM will keep her away from the msm...it looks bad for hi either way. He knows he will lose, but why make the campaign look like a joke...oh, sorry, SNL already did that.

Wow, that flow chart must have taken some time . . . not even I could have made sense of that muddle type of thinking.
Palin has thrown many stones in the short time that she has been McCain"s running mate. Meanwhile she practices avoidance and refusal when she is cornered. The truth is that she is a privileged woman, in a glass house, approaching a glass ceiling. No one knows if she can get through the glass ceiling with her glass house intact (despite the 18 million cracks made by Hillary). We do know that, having thrown so many stones, the glass house she lives in is a vulnerability and easy target. God forbid that her glass house breaks when she finds herself in the position of having to take over the presidency of the USA. If Palin becomes our VP, it is likely that she will continue to evade issues and persist in being above reproach. A bigger concern is that the expectations for women and the entire country will be unrealistic and unimaginable.
