I think as people continue to see so much of politics as usual in this town -- partisan bickering and big money buying votes -- they are increasingly likely to vote against whatever represents the old politics for them.

Sometimes we have to get thrown out of a job in order to recognize that it wasn't a good fit. This is a challenge in a bad economy. Nonetheless, it is inspiring to watch what you are doing in the face of this challenge.

Why else would Obama be thinking of sending thousands of troops to Afghanistan? Why would he have nearly abandoned a health care public option? What happened to getting rid of lobbyists?

Adding women to the workforce won't change much, but when we add them to corporate boardrooms and executive suites, anchor desks and political office, a change of attitude will inevitably follow.

After Game 4 of the ALCS, umpire Tim McClelland admitted that he made two bad calls. I was surprised, because we rarely hear those words from people in power, our so-called leaders.
