What difference a few days of Obama makes. No more Guantamo Bay. Ethics laws have been transformed and impressive incentives to not be in government for your own personal gain have been set. For all the trash talk that went on during the campaign on both sides, Obama is certainly backing his up. "Liberty without compromise" as its been described, also is symbolically represented in the reopening of the Statue of Liberty's crown for tourism...

Several days have gone by since the general election and a convicted but appealing Republican Senator Ted Stevens is still looking like the likely winner. In the case he does win, and is forced to resign, is expelled by fellow senators, or sent to jail, there has been a lot debate over who will replace him. In 2002, a remarkably similar scenario played out in Alaska. At that time Senator Frank Murkowski, won the Alaskan...

“If I am elected president..no.. when I am elected president”, John McCain says, reminiscent of when George W. Bush made a similar comment years ago, “...I will veto every pork barrel bill that comes across my desk... You will know their [bill supporters] names because I will make them famous”. Enthusiastic cheers roared behind him as he alludes to prosecuting pork barrel spending supporters. This was the best speech John McCain has given since his...

Someone I know contacted me recently. They were unsure of whether to vote for Barack Obama or John McCain for President. Someone close to them and strongly in the McCain camp was beginning to persuade them to vote Republican. They asked for some clarity as to what things they were hearing were true and how "devastating" an Obama presidency be. I will be posting portions of a Pro-McCain, Anti-Obama letter they received and my response...

Every week more than 300,000 browsers gain the ability to turn off website advertisements. While every one of those browsers likely doesn't represent an unique individual, it is potentially 14% of the weekly 2.1 million new users coming online. The popularity of using software to remove ads is rising, no doubt helped at least in part, by ISPs like Comcast capping bandwidth. Even Microsoft, though not officially on the ad blocking bandwagon, has recently acknowledged...
A much publicized at the time, NATIONAL SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE/NSPD 51 posted on the White House website on May 9th, 2007, is now even more relevant. The law gives the president unprecedented powers which many have interpreted to mean command of all three branches: The Progressive Wikipedia NPR In summary the directive states that following a "Catastrophic Emergency", which is defined as: "any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties,...

It would seem after almost eight years, congress has finally found itself. Enduring a decade of panic stricken "just do what I say" bullying, the house of representatives have finally said no to their abusive relationship. With the vote of 228-205, 133 Republicans and 95 democrats sent the message, that as a president who has abused every olive branch of trust, a 700 billion dollar grand finale would not be handed over so easily. Finally....

sachmaan, you're an idiot. McCain's has put the country first and decided to do his job, which is be a senator and help with this crisis. The same can't be said for B. Hussein Obama, the secret Muslim intent on destroying the country.
He can't handle the economy, so he needs time to study up, so he can't attend the debate tomorrow night. Boo hoo.
