If you've actually opened and read your credit card bill recently, you may have seen something that really ticked you off. You may want to get on the horn that very minute and teach that bank a LESSON IT WON"T SOON FORGET! Okay, no more all-caps ranting, I promise.

First of all, let me make something perfectly clear. I like women. A lot. I vote for three of them every chance I get, Representative Jackie Speier and Senators Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein.

"Moral Hazard" is a term that's thrown around a lot these days. It implies that one must pay some sort of penalty for a transgression committed; that you can't "game" the system and get away with it.

John McCain made a great speech last night. It has been my opinion for months that if he had used that kind of tone while actually campaigning, this would have been a much closer race.

First of all, let me say that I'm a fan of Chuck Todd, or at least, I have been. He has taught all of us a lot about how to look at political polls, strategy, and demographics.

I've had this strange feeling watching the McCain campaign lately, some kind of deja vu. Then it occurred to me that the GOP's behavior resembles that of stock market and real estate investors -- right before they crashed.

If you don't know who Troy Anthony Davis is, or why he is scheduled to die on Tuesday, or why you should care, the first thing you should do is go to troyanthonydavis.org, down to the middle of the page, and watch the Le Monde interview of Troy's little sister.

It's been said so often that for many people it's a fact now, that the media "leans left." There are many reasons people say this, but the biggest is that it has been hammered home as a Republican talking point for so long that when you hear the word "liberal" you're almost surpr …

It's almost impossible to think that this was anything but a "Hail Mary," which for you non-football fans is when the quarterback, needing a touchdown to win on the game's final play, heaves the ball into the end zone in the hopes it will fall into a teammate's hands.

I am among the many people who are dumbfounded every time a Gallup Poll comes out and shows McCain gaining on Obama. To watch the news events and the statements by both candidates would give you the impression that Obama is far ahead.

First I wish to thank you for disagreeing with me in a civil manner. I also thank you for not being condensending.
I have read some of Obama's writings and statements.I do not think he is being genuin. I feel he is acting/lying.
I appreciate you very decent response to my statements. and hope you might accept an offer for friendship. WE may not agree on this, but who knows what time will tell us. And if I am wrong, and I truely hope that I am, it will be something you can give me hell about down the line.
Sincerely; me
