Palin and Stevens: Felony Loves Company

With Alaska 6-term Senator Ted Stevens’ conviction on 7 counts of lying on his federal financial disclosure forms, and the continuing investigation into Sarah Palin’s Troopergate shenanigans, we wonder . . .

For someone allegedly so knowledgeable about the housing market, [...]

McCain: Reckless Is as Reckless Does

“My daredevil clowning had cut off electricity to a great many Spanish homes and created a small international incident,” [McCain} wrote.

Who among us could stand up to national scrutiny if judged by all of our youthful, impetuous acts? Few of us could, of course. But very few of us have plowed ahead for the [...]

John McCain’s Senior Moment

John McCain is not ready to be President.  He can’t even remember five names while counting them off on his fingers.  What happens to our country if this occurs during a crisis?
