Dear Mayor Jackson:
I wanted to touch base with you as you make the final arrangements for your second state of the city speech. You’ve held the mayor’s office now for a little more than a year and while I have not been overly supportive of your administration, I […]

Actually Mrs. Clinton was just waiting until the Democrats raised taxes so that she could give it all to her favorite charity - the government.
Hey who doesn’t have a family charity where they can write off $5 million in taxes… not me that’s who.

The following takes place after the airing of each new episode of 24 on FOX…
Following their formula, the writers carried us through an hour of plot weaving as they built to the next big crescendo. Last night’s eleventh hour frankly was a little flat. Sure President Logan’s back and claiming to be born […]

The crowd’s milling out , but the Senator’s still shaking hands. I’ll post game the event tomorrow.
The best part of this whole thing was the interaction with my fellow bloggers. Reading one another’s posts and then responding. This is a great free form forum to exchange ideas. We need to do more of this.
Ta, ta for […]

The Senator appears comfortable with his stump speech… he’s hitting the old Democratic standards: “our children will be the first generation of Americans to inherit a poorer country than their parents inherited.”
