Heading back where it is really cold for a few days for work. I am expecting some long days at least at the start of the week. Driving to the hotel I was listening to an NPR show with Grover Norquist. He is the worthless bastard who came up with

It is always about the money…..
Which is why-following the election-now is a great time to rebalance your portfolio. Tradition holds that business likes a divided government, because nothing gets done. They like that because it allows them to get away with murder for stability and an environment they can plan to. So now that the

I pointed this out before-one of the key elements of Teabag strategy, if it can be called that, is based on a numbers game. Getting all of their folks out-who really don’t represent a majority of Americans-and keeping the rest of us at home. America has one of the most miserable

The one time of the year the Pirates are in contention for the pennant. Frank Deford, shows us why baseball is not like all the other sports though-in any given year, any team CANNOT win the pennant: Yes, as sure as the flowers are a-bloomin’ again, every team has a

T.R. Reid on health care:
