Former President Bill Clinton has opened his mouth again and re-emphasizes that he wasted a chance at peace in the Middle East so that he could be serviced by an intern. A peace agreement between Israel and Syria could be reached within 35 minutes, former U.S. president Bill Clinton told the Lebanon-based Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper […]
First off, best wishes to New Jersey Gov. Jon Corzine who was in a car crash on Thursday. Get well soon. Second, why the h-e-double-hockeysticks wasn't he wearing his seat belt?

When the GOP tries to add some balance to PBS programming or threatens to cut off funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting there's a firestorm of controversy and charges about the evil Republicans. Now there's a new complaint about PBS, and threats to its funding, but barely a whimper in the press. Why? Because […]
Michael Waldman and Justin Levitt of the Brennan Center for Justice at the New York University School of Law have an op-ed piece in today's Washington Post puncturing the "myth" of voter fraud in Washington State's 2004 gubernatorial election.
