By Cessna Ladies and gentlemen, the Senator has left the building. He is finally at peace, hopefully. He fought his entire life for real change, real progress. And through countless family–and personal–tragedies he continued to fight. For equality, for minimum wage, and his final battle, health care. Ted Kennedy stood up for those too weak [...]
By Wink Peter King, a New York Republican congressman with senatorial aspirations, has decided to make headlines by ripping the Obama administration’s decision to investigate Bush-era CIA interrogations. The always classy congressman said… “It’s bullsh*t. It’s disgraceful. You wonder which side they’re on.” He is further proof that the average IQ in the House of [...]

By Wink I suppose, like all guys, my friends and I like to think of ourselves as the ‘outdoorsy’ type. We are not, but we DO make an effort every year to prove our manhood. So we head off to the great wilderness. Once we get there we will camp for several days and kayak. [...]
By Wink Sometimes I am really naïve. I thought my July 22 article about Barack Obama’s U.S. citizenship would not be controversial.
