The driver’s clothes looked bargain basement, not Brooks Brothers.Yet a “McCain-Palin” sticker clung resolutely to the rust bucket’s rear bumper.Based on his wheels and his threads, Buick Guy is one of what the Good Book...

It is not just that the Democrats will win a crushing victory in both houses of Congress, perhaps reaching the 60-seat Senate threshold that lets them steam-roll legislation. It is...

So, by that mode of thought, we 'deserved' George W. Bush. If he actually won the 2000 election (which I doubt) then we deserve what came from that decision. War. Economic collapse. Further political division. Social regression. Intolerance. Kentucky has been re-electing Sen. Mitch McConnell for so long, I worry that the people remember...

There are as many lies and hate in the air as ever. Lies! Sarah Palin is a HUGE problem for women. She's doing more for our misogynistic culture than any man ever could.
