Virginia's Warner exits Senate at peace - Capitol... →
If only the GOP could be more like Senator Warner than what it is today.

Mrs. Bush: Bush presidency not a failure - White... →
That’s right, Laura. Keeping telling yourself that over and over as you peer into the mirror through your rose-colored glasses. Do you think believes this stone cold sober, or is it a sort of “chemical conviction?”  I swear I’d have to stoned out my head to believe that.

Ahh.. my suspicions are confirmed. I wonder if this statistic is expressed in Bristol Palin’s recent pregnancy?

GOP reaction divided over controversial Obama song... →
Racist or not, the GOP needs to steer clear of anything that could even be remotely construed as such. Look at the convention- almost completely white-washed. At a time when Republican’s risk being irrelevant, this is the last thing they need. White people are becoming the minority in this country.

Are old people really wise? - LiveScience-... →
My experience would lead me to say “No.”  Older people tend to be more travelled and experienced, but wisdom would come from what they learned by those experiences.

Robert Creamer: Why Would Progressives Make "War"... →
The right-wing (namely O’Reilly’s) claim that progressives have a war on Christmas is just silly. More fake controversy by Faux News and Co. to pump their numbers.

I like HuffPo’s headline for this article: “Blind Faith In Unregulated Markets Stoked Economic Crisis.”

Chicken v Hawk: Rush Limbaugh attacks Colin Powell... →
Well put by 236.com.  So why does it seem like all of these right-wing pundits are college dropouts, yet we’re supposed to accept them as being so smart?  I don’t get it.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who picked up on the callousness of this comment. After eight years of this buffoon, it’s hard to imagine what having some competence in the White House will be like.

Right-Wing Talk Radio Host: We're Killing The GOP →
No surprises here. Right-wing talk radio is playing to an increasingly fringe audience. This is part due to the increasing radicalism of “the base”.

Jeff Schweitzer: George Bush's Confession: False... →

Maia Szalavitz: Obama Drug Czar Pick: No Recovery... →
I just wish more people could understand that being “hard” on drugs does not necessary mean being “smart” on drugs. The current U.S. drug control policy is an abissmal failure. Personally I think it should be regulated and taxed.
