Happy Monday all,
Well, I’ve got a flurry of things to write about today…so much news this weekend! In my opinion, the major issue that was rolled out from the so-called “office of the President-elect” was his “New Deal 2.0″ plan. Like any good conservative, I cautiously raise my eyebrow when I hear “public works.”

This is the first installment in a three part series.
In Mumbai, a terrorist attack unfolded that created a firestorm of debate. Sanitized media coverage, led by the New York Times, obscured facts and minimized known facts about the situation on the ground. In a hail of gunfire at least 172 people were killed in cold [...]

Ah yes… the People magazine “Sexiest” list is out. Last year, they declared Matt Damon as sexiest. As usual, I took issue with their choice - and set about making my own list. The man formerly known as my favorite British polemicist, Christopher Hitchens, appeared atop my list in 2007. As I noted after the “waterboarding” incident - my man [...]

Hello all,
For any of you Democrats or political junkies out there, I wish you the best of luck securing your inaugural tickets for President-Elect Obama’s ceremony. While Mr. Obama deserves his celebration, I hope Democrats realize that all eyes will be on them - that pictures and stories of over the top and super extravagant [...]

Hello all,
A few hours ago, I received a comical e-mail from our esteemed chairman of the RNC, Mike Duncan. Republican “leaders” from across the nation Republicans nationwide hailing the victory of Senator Saxby Chambiliss’ reelection efforts. The most entertaining line reads “this victory is also the first step in our efforts to rebuild our Party [...]

The arrest and questioning of the Conservative Home Affairs Spokesman Damien Green raises some timely questions about sources, freedom of information and political dirty tricks. Civil liberties groups are screaming blue murder over the incident; the police entered Westminster, searched and confiscated material from an MP and threw the book at a politician for what [...]

As a young girl, my father and grandfather taught me about service. My father served in the Army, my grandfather in the Navy.

A million thanks to my favorite progressive Maegan Carberry for asking me to join her in penning a piece for The Huffington Post. We took a tough look at the election results, and one thing is clear: The GOP must join in the Blogosphere.

For millions of Americans, the results on November 4th were sad but not surprising. They signaled the failure of an ideology which held power for years, promised much and delivered little.
To some, the failure was due to problems inherent in Free Markets, Capitalism, Limited Government, Social Conservatism and the rest of the foundations of Conservative [...]

During the primary election season, I penned a piece called The Bono - Obama Generation.

As both I and Media Lizzy have opined, California’s Proposition 8 ballot initiative (a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage) was a huge step back for gays & lesbians, civil rights in general, and an embarrassing black eye for America (again). On November 4th, Proposition 8 passed by a small majority and thus gay [...]

Senator Barack Obama is poised to take Ohio, and with the addition of California’s juggernaut 55 electoral college votes - that closes the deal for Obama.

Rivals, Governors and and both candidates for the US Senate seat held by retiring Senator John Warner have their answer.

Earlier today, the McCain-Palin campaign released a summary of Governor Sarah Palin’s medical records. No doubt, Andrew Sullivan will remain obsessed with the inner workings of Gov. Palin’s uterus - but at least he’ll always have the letter from her doctor. I thought about skipping over to his site and reading about it - but [...]
