Of all of the many reasons to support a Democrat for President of the U.S. in 2008, one of the most vital is to start to bring to a close the reckless bloodbath that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and friends opened up in Iraq. From the safety of our homes we only know the starkest [...]

I know that I said, yesterday, that I am sick to death of politics. No…no, that wasn’t a lie.

Wow! Hillary pulled out a win in New Hampshire with Obama kinda breathing down her neck. I’m no fan of McCain’s, but I must admit to being relieved that Huckabee wasn’t “the man”, in this round. I hear Romney was jus’ a lil’ upset that his BFFs in NH didn’t make sure [...]
