While times are tough for most Americans, one group is doing remarkably well. For former members of the Bush administration, the economic outlook remains bright and jobs are seemingly plentiful.

Shortly after Obama's win, I heard someone lament that this country is going to hell in a hand basket. Well if this is hell, give me a tall glass of ice water.

If George W. Bush was able to influence the Court for the next 20 years, Obama certainly should do the same.

Why did Karl Rove's right-hand man and special assistant to George W. Bush, under Congressional investigation for felony vote caging, come to Alaska over 20 times last year?

On January 20th, when Obama was inaugurated as our 44th president, we took a collective breath and relaxed -- apparently George Bush really didn't believe in granting pardons. Think again.

How does it look now that Reid is manipulating Senate procedure to exclude Burris, but simply shrugged his shoulders over Samuel Alito, warrantless wiretapping and the Military Commissions Act?

This ticket is coming apart at the seams. It was McCain's birthday last week, but he gave the Democrats one giant gift in Palin.
Andy Ostroy | Posted 10.03.2008 | Politics
Deja vu all over again. Sarah Palin/Harriet Miers. The names are interchangeable. And just like Bush did in replacing Miers, McCain will quickly replace her with someone who'll really get conservatives excited.
Bryan Young | Posted 10.01.2008 | Politics

Rick Hasen | Posted 09.30.2008 | Politics

When leaders in Congress abdicate their oversight responsibility -- as happened from 2000 through 2006 -- and give the executive branch free rein, bad things happen. Let us count the ways.
