One year and one day ago today, Barack Obama gave a speech in Spartanburg, South Carollina that spelled out the reasons why he was running for president. I think it’s worth revisiting, so here’s a snippet: ____ I am in this race because I don’t want to see us spend the next year re-fighting the [...]
Last Sunday, when Colin Powell made his endorsement for the Obama candidacy, he reminded us of what the United States of America is all about- the freedom to worship as one feels fit.

I have very little respect for Robert Novak, a slimy piece of crap that compromised American security when he blew the cover for a CIA agent whose husband questioned the logic of the Bush regime. If I had my way, old Bob would be spending some serious prison time for this treasonous act. That being [...]
