I have a question, and Google hasn’t given me an answer yet. So I’m throwing it out here for my very erudite commenters to tackle: If Democrats lose seats in the 2010 Congressional elections, and then enough representatives vote to … Continue reading →
I don’t listen to many radio talk shows. Sometimes, though, when I’m in the car and bored, I tune one in for a while. So the other day I was listening to someone (Rush? Hannity?) for a few moments and … Continue reading →
It is interesting that two analyses of Obama’s newly-announced Afghan policy conclude with essentially the same thought. In the WSJ, Eliot A. Cohen ends his essay with these words: As a wartime leader [Obama] will tend many wounds, but the … Continue reading →
A new Rasmussan poll indicates that the percentage of Americans identifying themselves as Democrats has gone down to 36% (a shift of minus-five since the beginning of 2009). Two percent of that drop has been this November alone. The percentage … Continue reading →
