GOP Dilemma 2010 »

The ink is barely dry on the Health Care Bill, so it is no surprise to see the GOP hitting the streets with their “Repeal and Replace” program. How far will this carry them toward Nov 2010 mid-terms? Not far. First, watch what is going to happen to the lawsuits from the states. Higher courts [...]

Nurses Opting Out of Abortions »

Teenagers are Smarter than Ever. »

I am as concerned about the well-being of our kids as anyone. But from my observation, the stilted social abilities produced by social networking are vastly over-stated to the point of paranoia.

Al Gore Never Said… »
