As you have probably heard by now, Arlen Specter, the longtime Pennsylvania Republican has switched to the Democratic Party. He states that the switch is due to the shift of the Republican party to be more conservative. This is entirely true, and probably the ultimate reason of him switching.
Once Al Franken is seated this [...]

As you would guess, on-line polls are not exactly random, and are almost as unscientific as is possible.
A recent MSNBC poll was taken to rate President Obama. This poll was pretty straight-forward: How do you think Obama did in his first 100 days? The only options were letter grades A, B, C, D [...]

Winkest Link has an Austrian correspondent. She has checked in to advise that I have been too easy on former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. I said he was “never very likable.”
Okay, I was being intentionally understated on that, but I am not afraid to elaborate… Can I call him a moron [...]

Please sit down and breathe slowly before reading the next sentence. President Obama smiled in an encounter with Hugo Chavez at the Summit of the Americas. Should I repeat that? He smiled.
The always-impartial former House Speaker Newt Gingrich said the smile will be used as propaganda by enemies of the United States. [...]

Well, Teabag Day has come and gone.
Do you feel different now? Do you feel the swell of excitement?
No? That is because THERE IS NO GROUNDSWELL for the teabag issue. Fox News, which still bothers to use the phrase “Fair and Balanced,” drummed up this phony event in yet another cheap attempt to denigrate President [...]
I have always felt it is a waste to not utilize ex-presidents more fully. What do they do when they leave office?
Many recent presidents have gotten very wealthy on speaking engagements. I don’t really begrudge them that.
It is nice that Jimmy Carter has raised awareness of Habitat for Humanity, and promoted democracy by monitoring elections [...]
Did you ever notice how cute polar bears look? They have shiny-white fur, and sort of stroll about unobtrusively. Sometimes they will chase each other about and wrestle playfully.
I can only guess ‘cute and cuddly’ is what a German woman was thinking when she climbed the fence at the Berlin Zoo and jumped into the [...]
A huge congratulations to the University of Connecticut (U Conn) women’s basketball team, and their outstanding head coach, whats-his-name.
At the beginning of the season U Conn was deemed the best in the nation, and the logical pick to win the national championship.
So how did they do? They won all 39 games by double-digits, and with [...]
At the top of EVERY anti-gay movement are several closeted gays. They are not hard to spot. They are the loudest, and making the most outrageous and bombastic statements. They are the leaders.
Why do they do this? Why do gays head anti-gay movements?
I suppose some, as children, were churched to believe that gays are evil. [...]
“Guiding Light” is ending after 70 years of radio and television shows. This is an astonishing feat.
I don’t care though, ‘cuz I don’t watch soaps.
But there is a new soap that has caught my attention. I call it “As the Palin’s Turn.”
On the Pulitzer-winning newsmagazine “Tyra,” Governor Palin’s former-future son in law said he was [...]
