I think it's outrageous that there's more outrage about the public option in health care reform, than there is about the military option in dealing with Iran's nuclear ambitions.

Especially because the public option is a smart, practical idea that will make it cheaper for us to buy health insurance....

Last November, Democrats took back the White House and the Congress with a huge mandate from the American people. Ever since then, Democrats in Congress have been acting as if they actually lost the election instead.

Their latest act of spinelessness came when the Senate voted 83-7 to deny ACORN...

When a comedian leaves the stage at the end of a show, you always want to leave the audience laughing. No matter how well your performance was received, your last routine tends to leave the most lasting impression on the audience.

And so it was with the closing act in...

If the Republicans actually had a platform on healthcare reform, here's my version of what it might look like.

"As Republicans, we ask 'Who says our healthcare system doesn't work?' The CEO of AETNA made $24 million last year. It certainly works for him. Sure there's 47 million Americans who...

Healthy debate is what America is all about. But the ugly, undemocratic behavior by a few Americans in health care town hall meetings is making me sick.

Democratic Congressman Brad Miller of North Carolina, who supports health care reform, even received a death threat last week. How's that for a...

President Obama and Congressional Democrats refused to fight Republicans and the NRA on a despicably unrelated amendment to the credit card reform bill, which will now allow gun owners to carry loaded, accessible firearms into national parks and wildlife refuges.

At a time when gun violence kills more Americans than...

At the risk of being called a bad speller, I think torture is a four letter word. The outcry that greeted Fox News anchor Shepard Smith's comments on "The Strategy Room" that "We're America, we don't f-ing torture", had more to do with uttering a four letter word, than courageously...

You would think that, as a native New Yorker who doesn't participate in online pools, I would have little or no vested interest in who wins tonight's NCAA basketball championship game. Yet I still feel conflicted. As one who roots for President Obama to succeed, should I support his ESPN...

Never before have so many traveled so far to see a slightly obstructed view of a Jumbotron screen, light years away from where the swearing in ceremonies were taking place. And that's the real story of the Obama Inauguration. Contrast that to the final months of the Bush administration, when...

Although Israel is planning many more days of bombing and killing in Gaza, it reportedly wants a three hour ceasefire to allow its troops to watch the 15th annual Screen Actors Guild awards, live from Hollywood on January 25. "It's the only awards show where only actors vote for actors,"...

Tonight's debate proved beyond a doubt, that Sarah Palin is qualified. Qualified to be a right wing evangelical preacher, a PR flack, a local news anchor, and a motivational speaker.

But not Vice President of the United States. And certainly not an English teacher. Why is it that politicians think...

The CBS Evening News with Katie Couric received only a minimal boost to its anemic ratings from a week of interviews with Sarah Palin. Which is a shame.

Those who weren't watching missed out on a sublime mix of surreal absurdity and outright stupidity. Sarah Palin's disjointed answers sounded like...
