President-elect Barack Obama's transition team is beginning to eye executive orders that can be overturned and rescinded by Obama's administration. First up are overturning prohibitions on drilling for oil here in the United States and government funding for the creation of human embryos for the purpose of destroying them. Don't be surprised when, as the […]
Now that Barack Obama has been elected president, is it time for the mainstream media to get out of Obama's tank? Nope. Chris Matthews: Well, you know what. I want to do everything I can do to make this thing work, this new presidency work. Joe Scarborough: Is that your job? Matthews: Yeah, that […]
Sen. Robert Byrd will be stepping down as the head of the Senate Appropriations committee. The move came after the Senate agreed to rename the committee: "The Robert C.

[Portions of this post were originally part of the social justice post below. During the editing process, I determined that though they were related, this was sufficiently off of my central thesis in that post to deserve its own.] If the Rev. Jeremiah Wright ever makes it into Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, it will undoubtedly be […]
I'm not referring to the commonly held notion that the number of people in the so-called middle class is shrinking. Instead, I'm referring to the fact that the definition of people who will be getting a middle class tax cut from an Obama administration is shrinking. Originally Sen.

The Washington Post returned to the issue of Sen.
