Election 2006
Right now, as I type, Jim Webb is declaring victory in the Virginia Senate race, but it’s not clear if a recount will be needed. It’s looking good for Tester in Montana and McCaskill in Missouri, but these races haven’t been called yet. I’m pleased [Read More]
Indecision 2006
I just posted in a forum two conflicting views on the question of whether uninformed voters should be encouraged to vote… On one hand, we hear all the time about how “thousands of brave men and women have fought and died to protect your right to vote”. But [Read More]

Time magazine cover story: How we became human - What? DNA? Genomes? Science? Huh? The Bible, which is the Word of God, inerrant and infallible, and it says that God created the first man and called him Adam. I hope this Time magazine isn’t in my kids’ school [Read More]
Six years ago, I actually liked Joe Lieberman
Now I hope he gets retired by Ned Lamont. And this new campaign aid from Lieberman’s camp is one of the most ridiculous political ads I’ve ever seen. Even if you have zero interest in this Connecticut senate race, the ad will awe you. [Read More]
