President Obama, (who, let’s face it, can do no right), has been called out by supporters and foes alike for his seemingly casual comment, “We tortured some folks.” In reviewing the comedic, editorially disappointed and fire and brimstone responses, it would seem that the universally agreed upon and unforgivable word…
After a wildly productive legislative session wherein our bungling bevy of bi-camerans grudgingly agreed to throw a few billion dollars at the shamelessly broken veterans’ care debacle and, well ummm, what am I forgetting?…oh, yeah, agreeing to sue the President, the members of the 113th Congress are taking a completely…

FIFA, that bastion of fair play, civility and righteousness, taking into consideration Suarez’ repetitive mandibular offenses, has ruled a four-month ban and a token…
So, Eric Cantor is the new poster boy for Not Nutty Enough. The Republican Party, (once ‘the other white meat’), has not proposed a single positive idea in so long that its new leadership is emerging from anyone who can say, “NO!”, louder and with more piously, ultra-conservative conviction. I…
