You may not have heard it called that, but you've heard about it. Godwin's law basically states that as any Internet discussion progresses, the probability of someone invoking the Nazis approaches a certainty. Unfortunately this problem has reached the airwaves. First you had MSNBC's Keith Olbermann giving a Nazi salute (while holding up a Bill […]
The Senate race in Pennsylvania may be the first indication that a change is in store for American politics. Bob Casey Jr., the state's treasurer and son of one of the few prominent pro-life Democrats in recent decades, is running against conservative GOP firebrand Rick Santorum. When the race started, Casey held a comfortable lead […]
