For the last few years of the Bush administration, Afghanistan suffered from both the neglect and ineptitude of a President more interested in Saddam Hussein then Osama Bin Laden.

This is a pointed reference to the main character in the 1957 film “A Face In The Crowd” staring Andy Griffith. The film charts the transformation of an... »

Forget Rush Limbaugh. Glenn Beck is now the de facto head of the Republican Party. In recent weeks he has gotten a White House official fired. He has helped to force the government to sever all ties with an ultra liberal community organizing group. And just yesterday he got over 100 Republican House... »

A quick update on the earlier Maria Bartiromo debacle where she seemed to not know that a person had to be 65 before they could go on Medicare. Today on Morning Joe, she made the claim that she hadn’t been talking about Medicare at all when she made her remarks. Instead, she was trying... »

When Joe Wilson pointed his finger at the President and called him a liar last Wednesday, a simultaneous wave of shock, disgust and resignation swept over me.
