Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination today… This is NOT going to be a good day for Bush. Laura must be out on her balcony chain smoking her nerves away…

Tim Kaine and Jerry Kilgore remain in a dead heat in Virginia for the Governor’s seat. Unsurprisingly, the Washington Post has endorsed Tim Kaine, with a very elogquent article describing him as, “a responsible, forward-thinking, unifying, principled politician with brains, guts and know-how.” It seems likely that this election will come down to the last [...]

So the U.N. has announced that it has implicated Syrian intelligence officials in the killing of Former Lebanese Prime Minister Hariri, no surprise.

Interesting moment at last night’s New Jersey Gubernatorial debate between Senator Jon Corzine (D) and Doug Forrester (R) when they both said, if elected, they would sign a medical marijuana bill into law. “With respect to providing relief under doctor’s supervision, under the proper circumstances, I think we need to provide all medical resources, and [...]

In less than one month, Virginians will be headed to the polls to cast their votes in what will be the most important election in 2005. Currently, polls are neck and neck and as a result this campaign is becoming one of the nastiest races this citizen pundit has ever seen. To be short: Jerry [...]

The rich get richer and the poor will be freezing to death. I wish this was surprising. I wish this still made me angry.
