Another Opinion
I’ve noticed recently an increase in media coverage on the Tea Party Movement. Most of it seems to be by Left leaning types.

Of course, I went to see “Nine” in the movie house, though I’d never seen the musical on stage. And, what an odd choice of material to turn into, or try to turn into Big Broadway. Italy’s Federico Fellini is one of cinema’s great auteurs of all time. “8 1/2″ is certainly...
Sarah Palin Is Not Just A Face In The Crowd
I believe it was 1968 when segregationist/ pragmatist/ power seeker George Wallace held a rally at Freedom Hall. He was the American Independent Party’s candidate for POTUS. He even toyed with tabbing Kentucky favorite son Happy Chandler to be his running mate. Until Wallace’s handlers pointed out to the Alabamian that...

Salinger went reclusive decades...

Parliamentary Trick...or Political Treat?
The Republicans scream that reconciliation -- a process by which a majority gets things done -- is a "parliamentary trick"...while a small minority holds the Senate hostage with the filibuster threat.

Obama: We Know You Can Run, Now Prove You Can Pass
After running on healthcare in '08, & working on it for most of '09, Senate Dems & the White House seem to realize it only counts if they actually pass reform ...even if it's "only" with a majority vote. Reacting to the Tea Party & Scott Brown win, Dems need to see they can't run as...
A Republican winning Kennedy's seat had odds of one-in-a-million. Then Scott Brown won. Getting any GOP support in the Senate would happen once in a blue moon. Then the jobs bill passed. So watch out if you say that healthcare has a snowball's chance in hell... you might end up with a face full of slush. A full-day bipartisan...

Big Ten to Dig Deep in the Heart of Texas?
