“Gay rights” has never really been one of my issues, but it’s clear to me that we have a double standard as a society and now it’s on my radar screen. The latest news out of the military seems to place the whole issue in a particularly striking light, and it certainly does merit some […]

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. Endorses Hillary Clinton

Robert Kennedy, Jr. endorsed Hillary Clinton today.

Kurdish Oil Deals

Here’s a fun little story that, like so much with this Administration, provides at least as many questions as it does answers.

Edwards Launches Website Targeting Clinton With Petition Drive

John Edwards is apparently out to kill two birds with one stone, with his new website that is aimed at Hillary Clinton while seeking to gather one million e-mail address and zip codes:
