The narrative McCain promotes is a well-known myth of the American West: small town is threatened by outsiders from the Eastern establishment, corrupt and dangerous outlaws and craven townspeople.
I'm not surprised that America is fatter than ever! Or that the latest report, "F as in Fat: How Obesity Policies Are Failing in America, 2008" from t...
Could it be that the timid approach to climate change is missing the boat? Leaders are failing to recognize what will most likely move us -- a challenge at the measure of our appetites.
Here's the thing - people are going to vote against Obama because he's black. This is the country we live in. And I know, he's only half black, yadda...
Oil prices tripled since 2003. Sunshine for the economies of metro areas on the Gulf of Mexico, but a cloud over the metros on the Great Lakes.
One would think that members countries from the OEPC in the Persian Gulf who are sitting on a quarter of the world's oil reserves would like to stall the development of clean technologies and thereby the creation of alternatives to oil, right? Nope.
I know it's un-American, but I don't give one iota (the ninth and smallest letter of the Greek alphabet and thus slang for ONE BIT) whom John Edwards is screwing.
In Berlin, Obama gave his hearers hope, not hysteria -- the hope for an America that could not only work with European nations, but even be a model for them.
How do I show my "friend" that it's not naive to hope? That she doesn't need another man to "take care of her" but one who will embrace who she is and encourage her independence?

I spoke with Webb about how he sees the challenges facing America and the future of the Democratic party.
The two images will dominate the American media this weekend are for once not Obama and McCain, but rather the competing movies at the box office, the images of which dare I say it, can be seen to represent the dichotomy of the American landscape.
Somehow Obama thought it was a good idea to go along with these surrender monkeys on the 4th amendment. But aside from the politics, it's a pathetic acquiescence to the wishes of Al Qaeda.
Most of the explosions of color that will light up American skies tonight are fueled by compressed gunpowder. What's more, they leave a trail of barium compounds behind that can poison our patriotic hearts.
Times may change but he American Flag remains undaunted, ready to solicit a tear of joy, surge of pride, or a blast of an anthem at her spot-lit presence.
There is discussion now taking place between mostly white editors and producers in newsrooms on how to identify Senator Barack Obama now that he is the Democratic nominee.
I dug the book a lot, but after having read it, and not always while I was reading it. The central male characters are so misogynistic they can alienate you completely.
