Years ago, an organization dedicated to honest and open government, Citizens for Ethics and Responsibility in Washington (CREW), began an effort to confront the Bush Adminisration about a group of missing White House emails related to a criminal investigation. It was almost two years ago that I wrote about the five-day deadline from a federal magistrate for George W. Bush to come clean about where those emails had gone to. Did Bush ...

What's funny about the current economic crisis? At the root of it, nothing. I have spent most of 2009 as one of the who-knows-how-many millions struggling with unemployment and dwindling resources. One side effect of unemployment is that it gives you additional time for pondering (a mixed blessing, to be sure). I've periodically wondered whether the crumbling of public education in America is the chicken or the egg (so to speak) relative to ...

1 hour, 38 minutes ago ago from Anders Hanson
This post is a very simple plea for help. At the next General Election most parliamentary constituency boundaries will change and what I'd like is a map of the UK showing the new boundaries that I can pin to my wall. The last time this happened in 1997 I had a really good map that showed not only the boundaries but the main towns and cities in each seat too, so it gave you an idea in rural areas of what each seat actually covered. ...

On the ninth day of Festivus, TV gave to me... nine on-air breakdowns. Director Alfred Hitchcock once said, "Television has done much for psychiatry by spreading information about it, as well as contributing to the need for it." Yes, having a camera stuck in your face for an hour or more a day must take a toll on your sanity. Your privacy is virtually limited. Your every move is scrutinized and criticized by faceless meanies. Your ...

19 hours ago ago from Huffington Post
Recently Jon Stewart had right-wing fundamentalist Mike Huckabee on his show--for the third time! They had their usual cutesie conversation which seems designed to show liberals that Huckabee is not such a bad guy, by allowing him to banter humorously with Stewart, appearing reasonable while never actually giving any ground on any of his core right-wing beliefs. Jon, c'mon, leave the puffball questioning to Larry King, okay? Soon after, ...

Decade of politics leaves Americans still divided WASHINGTON (AP) -- It wasn't so long ago that politicians had the luxury to bicker over how to spend a record budget surplus, Barack Obama was a state senator trying unsuccessfully to get a foot in the door of the U.S. Capitol, and George W. Bush went to sleep with visions of a dominant Republican majority dancing in his head. This first decade of the 21st century has taken us from hanging ...
