It’s a tragedy, something no parent should have to deal with. Losing a child would undoubtedly cause a lifelong hurt no parent could ever recover from. I can’t say for certain but I’m sure the void left by the child’s death would forever be filled what ifs, a burden the parent would forever carry with them, wondering what they could’ve done differently to save the child’s life. But why is it that we are only examining this plight now, following the death of... Read Full Story

Get a life! Michael Newdow, you and your plaintiffs are making all of us look like whiny little children. You’re lawsuit to have “so help me god” taken out of the inaugaration and your objection to Rick Warren delivering the invocation speech are petty and seem to ignore the fact that all of our presidents have been christian. You want these words taken out, right? To make you feel better? But what about those Christian presidents that this pledge actually means something to... Read Full Story

Is it a “huge mistake” as one editor put it? Barack Obama’s choice to let über-conservative evangelical pastor Rick Warren to give the invocation at his inauguration is drawing a lot of flack from liberals and the gay community but should we be surprised by this for any other reason than Obama sticking to his word? We’ve all known the president-elect doesn’t support gay marriage, which is one of the reasons that I did not vote for him, but picking a man so oppose... Read Full Story

This may not be the best way for Barack Obama to start his stint in the Oval Office. The stench surrounding Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich spreads across the entire state and sticks to every politician around. But the noxious fumes might affect the president-elect worse than anyone, including Blago himself. The problem is the contradiction surrounding the Obama team’s answers to questions regarding communication with the disgraced governor. On Tuesday Obama said that he had not any c... Read Full Story

Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has, as U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said, “taken us to a new low,” by allegedly trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s vacant senate seat in exchange for financial benefits for him and his wife. Scumbag. The Democrat also allegedly contemplated keeping the seat for himself if he didn’t get “anything of value” for it. Douchebag. Federal wiretaps have him discussing a potentially substantial salary at a non-profit... Read Full Story

Does Barack Obama need to apologize for perhaps being the first politician to stick to his word? During his campaign he promised to reach across the aisle and work with moderates and conservatives to help fix the problems afflicting our country. Now every politician makes that promise but would we be surprised to learn that, if John McCain had won, he was stocking his cabinet with staunch conservatives? Absolutely not! We would just accept it as a politician playing the part. But here we are.... Read Full Story

Mark Begich, the incoming Alaska senator who beat out convicted felon Ted Stevens for a seat held by the Republican for decades, is now saying his 85 year-old former opponent should not be thrown in jail. Ted Stevens was convicted in October on seven felony counts of making false statements in regards to money and gifts he received while in office. “I think for an 85 year-old man to serve time in jail, that’s not the appropriate thing to do,” said Begich. Than what would be ... Read Full Story

Nathaniel Hawthorne said “Families are always rising and falling in America.” Actually, I am more or less quoting “The Departed” and its quoting of that line. Nevertheless, it’s true. That being said, could we possibly see the Bush family rise from the ruins that George W. Bush has left it in? After eight years as president his approval ratings have sunk to historic lows. And in the process he has brought the family name and the Republican party down with him. Bu... Read Full Story

Cat fight! Alaska Senator Lisa Mukowski has shown her claws to Governor Sarah Palin, warning the former Republican vice presidential candidate not to run against her in her bid for re-election to the senate in 2010. “I can guarantee it will be a very tough election,” Murkowski said in an interview. Murkowski is up for re-election in 2010, the same year Palin’s term as governor expires and while Palin has yet to announce her intention to run for senate, Murkowski seems intent... Read Full Story

It takes eight minutes for light to travel from the star at the center of our solar system to our planet. For the star called GOP2 (aka Sarah Palin), it took a matter of seconds for her light to engulf the planet, a light so bright that it has since blinded and dumbfounded the masses from  the day she were announced as John McCain’s running mate for this year’s failed GOP ticket for president. In the three weeks since losing their bid, Sarah Palin has seen an amplified interest fr... Read Full Story
