The idea that we are somehow inhibiting Congress from passing our agenda by holding impeachment hearings -- unfortunately -- is a false argument.

The Democrats can't just filibuster; it would likely spiral into a major budget crisis and a government shutdown. It's a huge gamble, and if they lost it could imperil their chances in 2008.

Hillary supporters should be heartened by intense hatred; hatred of the Roosevelts was dominant in the 30s yet Roosevelt won four landslides and crafted the most successful features of our modern government.

The people we are waiting for are the politican leaders. Everyone else needed to solve the global warming problem has been around for a while.

I think it is time we turned the FDA back into what it was supposed to be: an agency that protects you and me from unnecessary risks from food and drugs, not a cheerleader for private industry.

What do Clooney, Gingrich, and the Hungarian Communist Party have in common? They each have something to teach us about health care information, privacy, and public confidence.

Perhaps it dawned on the Newtster that getting into the game like Keyes was starting to sound low, and that this year's repeats of Just The Ten Of Us didn't require an eleventh hour entry on the slate card.
