In my fifth decade of life, I thought very little could excite me. And I had not the vaguest idea that I would help make history. And I didn't even have to leave my house!

It's five in the morning and I'm experiencing the bad aspect of standard time. It...

On "Meet The Press" today, Tom Brokaw made his political leanings rather obvious.

His guests were Fred Thompson and John Kerry. After lobbing softballs at Thompson and basically agreeing with his ridiculous ramblings, his follow up questions were powder puffs. Yet every question he asked of Kerry included a Republican...

I have spent this election season criticizing Sarah Palin. But I feel that in fairness I must say I finally heard her say something smart. Which just proves that no matter how much lipstick you smear on a blind pig, he can find an acorn now and then.

Oh for the good old days when your ballot was the last thing you worried over. When the only ballot controversy was who carried the boxes of paper and who oversaw the counting.

With the headlines in the news today, such a gutless exhibition was totally unexpected. Obama seemed like his only focus was in...

I was thinking recently about the movie "Wag The Dog" and the way politicians would invent a crisis for political gain, and then the fictitious crisis would become real. Has this happened to the republicans and George Bush? Have their false threats requiring war and their anti-regulation free market principals...

Tune in the news today and you will hear the airwaves dominated by the phrase, "Putting lipstick on a pig." Is it any wonder that people the world over are laughing at us?

In the 1980's when the attack politicians were still learning how to use the media our stupidity...
