“All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined… could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we must ourselves be its...
From The Washington Post: President Obama mandated Thursday that nearly all hospitals extend visitation rights to the partners of gay men and lesbians and respect patients’ choices about who may make critical health-care decisions for them, perhaps the most significant step so far in his efforts to expand the rights of gay Americans. From The Los Angeles Times: In a memo to his Health and Human Services agency, Obama ordered the secretary to ensure...
I’m not much on broadcast news. There seems to be too much that isn’t news in every “news” cycle. I rarely watch CNN except on election night. There seems to be as much bias as FoxNews.

The last time he had been there was fourteen years ealier, with a pack on his back and not much more than a packet of cigarettes in his...
The controversy stirring new book Game Change: Obama and the Clintons, McCain and Palin, and the Race of a Lifetime by John Heilemann (New York magazine) and Mark Halperin (Time magazine) has been all the political news rage since last week. The early leak of Harry Reid’s race faux pas has all but overshadowed the full breadth of the book. It’s hardly Race 2008 by the National Enquirer. Instead, Heilemann and Helperin take readers...
Wheeling, dealing and usually good for a bad quote Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, already trailing in the polls in his own Nevada re-election campaign, may have reached out through a screw hole to hammer the nails into his own political coffin. Quoted in the new book Game Change, to be released Monday, January 11, Reid said, during the 2008 presidential campaign, that Obama had a good chance of being elected because he is...
