Halloween at the White House
LOL!!!! When trick-or-treaters come to the door, it will be answered by two large 'Secret Service Agents' with one bearing a nearly empty bowl of candy. If there are two or more tricksters ringing, the agents will compare all of their bags. If one child...

Says it all.
I'm obviously not a Harvard lawyer, and never will be. But this ain't the Constitution I learned about in 7th grade civics class, either. I seem to recall being taught that the document was meant to limit government, not to limit me. Maybe I was wrong....

An Op-Ed Columnist who "gets it" about us Independents
If I were advising the candidates, I’d tell them to double down on weirdness. Obama needs to occasionally criticize his own side. If he can’t take on his own party hacks, he’ll never reclaim the mantle of systemic change. Specifically, he needs to attack...

Who would have thunk it?
This November the people of the United States will have either a black President or a female Vice-President. We very nearly had a woman as a candidate for President. Maybe I've been spending too much time immersed in history lately, but I never thought...

I'm really trying to figure out why this is a problem...
