Dear Ms. Sotomayor,
Ms. Sotomayor - Sonia, if I may presume to call you that - former Speaker of the House, Mr. Newt Gingrich, may be stepping away from his claims that you are a racist, but I am afraid I cannot let you off the hook quite so easily. ...

Swearing in on a stack of Bibles, the Senate and House - minus limbo-trapped Al Franken, Roland Burris, and Caroline Kennedy - are ready to get back to the work of whatever it is that Congress does these days. As part of the process, they'll pick new people for important ...

It's no secret America has an old and troublesome history with its various forms of discrimination. With each slight, real or imagined, the nation sinks deeper into a relationship hell like a warring couple fighting a bloody battle on their inevitable way to divorce court. It seems with every national ...

At this time of the year you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting someone’s list. Worst things, best things, funniest, saddest, stupidest, breakthroughs, failures – yada, yada, yada. So because I’m a copycat if nothing else, here’s my list. Predictions for 2009:
Barack Obama’s honeymoon period will be among ...

It would seem life on the mean streets of the post-Bush era is tough for ex-AGs – particularly political gadfly and ex-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Gonzo loyally protected his boss with the world’s worst imitation of an amnesiac and George repaid his efforts by kicking him to the curb when ...

With only a handful of days left, the Bush administration and its surrogates are polishing the Edsel-in-Chief’s corroded image like the last car through a car wash on Friday night. Many administrations, both D and R, have done this, but their polishing mostly amounted to breaking out the Sham Wows ...

It’s another week and another “preacher eruption” for the O-Man. However, this one is a little different. This time Obama invited the controversial preacher to speak for him rather than simply being perceived as guilty by association for sitting in Jeremiah Wright’s congregation.

From the War on Christmas, to Prop 8, to attempts to post the 10 Commandments on every flat surface in the nation's government buildings, the Christian right likes to play the victim. In their mind, the rest of the world is a vast, ungodly conspiracy to trample their prophet and ...

The White House is busy with their late-term, lame duckitude right now. George and The Big Dick have probably granted more interviews in the past few weeks than over the course of the entire administration. Clarifying – some would say rewriting - a legacy is hard work and the sheen ...

The Great Shoe War is continuing at a fever pitch as late-night comics and Iraqis on the street jump on the Wingtip Bandwagon. Although I personally understood the desire to pitch a pair at the man, the Iraqi relief pitcher was wrong to do it. That's no way to behave ...
