Yes, it's the political silly season, which means that the stupid too often gets mixed up with the serious. Serious: Sen. Harry Reid's shady land deals and failure to accurately report his investments, as required by Senate rules. Silly: This Time magazine story on Rep. Jane Harman's (D-Calif.) efforts to keep her seat on the […]
Sen. Bob Menendez, who was appointed to his current job when John Corzine decided that he preferred running the state government, apparently believes that New Jersey voters are complete morons -- especially the Jews. Connecticut U.S. Sen. Joseph Lieberman's tough re-election fight has caused his Democratic colleagues in the Senate to walk a fine line, […]
It should come as no surprise that I'd suggest that you not vote for Jerry Brown for Attorney General of California. One of Brown's TV ads, however has been bugging me recently -- and I'm not the only one. Dale Franks over at QandO has some more background (see previous link), but I too was […]
Well, it looks like the GOP may have its own version of Rep. Alan Mollohan (D-W.Va.) in Pennsylvania's Curt Weldon. Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader Henry "Culture of Corruption" Reid was caught using campaign money to pay for personal expenses.

Ever since the New York Times hid its columnists away behind the TimesSelect wall, they are no longer really part of the national conversation. However, David Brooks had a column Thursday that Mark Finkelstein excerpted over at Newsbusters that prompted an interesting response in Friday's letters section. First, Brooks column: This is a tale of […]
When I was in high school, I worked as a "courtesy clerk" (aka bagger) at the Alpha Beta store in La Mesa. One of the nicest guys working there was a big, black guy named Reggie. Reggie was in charge of receiving, so he spent most of his days in the back, but occasionally he […]
We're currently in the middle of the blackout period. What's that, you ask? It's the 60 days before the general election when groups are banned from naming candidates for federal office by name by the McCain-Feingold act. It's the reason you don't see ads by the NRA or ACLU encouraging you to contact your congressman […]
Not content to have a nice, juicy political steak to munch on in the form of disgraced former GOP Rep. Mark Foley, the Democrats today took serious steps toward trying to corral an entire herd of cows -- it may be more than they swallow. Several Democrats, as tone deaf as their GOP counterparts, came […]
