I’d say this is a good thing, but I’m willing to bet that since the crazies think Obama himself is secretly Muslim they aren’t going to listen. Read Full Story

As soon as the name of the shooter in Fort Hood was released, my first thought was that it would start a veritable witch hunt for Muslims in the military. During one of the live broadcasts, a soldier on the scene was quoted as saying it’s a shame “his last name wasn’t Smith.” Even as I said it, though, part of me wondered if I wasn&... Read Full Story

I’m late on this. But it is… incredible.

So by now we’ve all heard about the rather historic election in New York’s 23rd district. The special election resulted in the first Democrat winning the seat in a generation which, while on the surface seems to be evidence of a big rise in support for Democrats, is actually a big story about the split in the GOP.

By and large, non-Washingtonian elections are not indicative of national trends. No matter how pissed off someone might be at people in the Capitol, they aren’t going to take that out on the guy that works for the state. Whether a Democrat or Republican wins in Virginia has little to do with what’s going to happen come the 2010 midterms. Read Full Story
