Evidently, the NFL has heard rowdy fans loud and clear enough to determine that they don’t want to hear their rambunctious and obnoxious behavior anymore. It’s true that stadium drunks are annoying but really this new rule is going a bit too far. Part of the atmosphere at football games is tailgating and drinking. Are [...]
Politics is a big endeavor. It involves a lot of closed-door deal brokering, compromising of long-held beliefs, raising lots of money and winning the votes of the electorate. There is much more involved, of course, but you get the idea, it’s a full-time and difficult job. Many people get into politics for the right reason, [...]

Despite a strong pull from some that would tear us away from the faith of our fathers, that faith still plays a strong role in our politics. Although we are decidedly and thankfully not a theocracy, we are people who rely on our faith to sustain and guide us. And much to the chagrin of [...]
Mitt Romney trotted out his big October surprise yesterday. In the form of a press release, he accused President Obama of “Planning to end Medicare as we know it” within 15 years by allowing it to go bankrupt. Once again, just as in his no individual mandate plea, Romney is just plain lying to the [...]
We are 278 days away from the November general election and the radical Republican Party is in dire straits. Their strategists seem to be inept and just not very good at what they do for a living, which is coordinating a cohesive response to President Obama and the Democratic Party. All we have to do [...]
