Congressman Joe Barton, in a fifteen minute soliloquy, caused widespread consternation, anger and disbelief. His sincere and carefully worded apology to BP was well thought out and well crafted, contrary to his forced retraction. Barton’s outrage shook the foundations of Republican leadership. Why? It’s not because Barton’s words dripped of callousness toward the Americans losing [...]

I wrote a piece back in November about George Hutchins, prospective congressional candidate from North Carolina–and the worst website ever to gain an IP address.

GOP congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) speaking at this past weekend’s Southern Republican Leadership Conference(SRLC). Paul continues to be a pain in the ass for the republican establishment, and this speech will further irritate them. I’m definitely not a fan of Paul’s. But I have to admit, he absolutely eviscerated conservative foreign policy. I’m amazed republicans [...]

Let me offer a ludicrously premature opinion: Barack Obama has sealed his reputation as a president of great historical import. We don’t know what will follow in his presidency, and it’s quite possible that some future event–a war, a scandal–will define his presidency. But we do know that he has put his imprint on the [...]
