The media is buzzing this week over footage of President Bush explaining our economic woes at a Houston political fundraiser by saying "Wall Street got drunk."

"There's no question about it," Bush told his audience, "Wall Street got drunk -- that's one of the reasons I asked you to...

Do reporters like John McCain better? Can Captain Straight Talk Express even complain? And should Obama sidestep his rep as the Anointed One? Plus, Teresa talks Jordanian blogs looking to paint Obama into Israel's camp...

On this week's W&W show, Greg Mitchell, author of the new book So Wrong for...

A few months back when John McCain went to the Middle East to participate in photo-ops, spend quality time with his favorite hawk, Senator Lieberman, and pretend that his policy prescription to stay in Iraq for a hundred years was rooted in "conditions on the ground," he made a major...

One thing has been driving me crazy about this drilling debate -- everyone seems to assume that if we drill for oil in the US, that we will get the oil. And hence, we won't be dependent on foreign oil anymore. But we won't get anything, Exxon-Mobil will.

The oil...

What possesses a family to give nearly $300,000.00 to change history and write discrimination into the California Constitution?

Well, here is what the San Diego Union-Tribune reported on March 15, 2008 on Caster family patriarch, Terry Caster:

Caster, who heads Caster Cos., which owns A-1 Self Storage and other...

We'd like to introduce the Vets for Freedom NewsLadder. Like all the NewsLadders that are up and running, this is a great place to find out all about an issue on one site with articles, blog posts, and videos linked up and voted up or down by readers...

I don't see McCain backing out of all the insinuations that old age is to blame for his geographic confusion. Recently he's referred to Czechoslovakia three times before catching himself, a country that hasn't existed as such for more than ten years. Then there was the, oops, by Iraq I...

Barack Obama is betraying his promise of change and is in danger of becoming just another political hack.

Yes, just like former maverick John McCain, who has refashioned himself as a mindless rubber stamp for the most inane policies of the miserably failed Bush administration. Both candidates are embracing, rather...

Barack Obama has now personally taken his praise of Zionism to a Palestine where his sentiment is viewed as a perverse glorification of Jewish racism. Will Obama's Zionism undermine his future efforts to bring peace to the region?

Behind the smiles and photo ops with President Mahmoud Abbas in...

The robbery of our country by a small elite has continued, unabated, for the past eight years. That may sound like a radical statement. But, it is simply a fact -- a fact reported today by that radical, left-wing publication, The Wall Street Journal:

In a new sign of...

Many of us have known for years that it is indeed possible to withdraw our troops from Iraq in an orderly and sane fashion in a comparatively short period of time. Any doubts that this could be done were erased yesterday when Iraq's Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced that Iraq...

BEIJING -- After months of insisting on a non-politicized Olympics, a jittery Beijing has agreed to allow protests during the Games in three public parks with prior approval, a top official said Wednesday.

Unspecified forms of protest would be allowed under Beijing's overall security plan, which includes stringent efforts to...

As a HuffPo writer, my biggest anxieties flow from my direct link to the universe with no editor censoring or checking what I write. I often envy my mainstream media colleagues who have careful editors who fact-check and at least provide some time-lag in case I dash off something intemperate...

It really makes the Iraq debate easy for John McCain when he throws around words like "win" and "victory" and "prevail" and "success" without really defining what they mean. A short time ago he was calling for American troops to remain in Iraq forever and that Obama was "naive" for...

Now we're in the presidential campaign's silly season. The primaries are over; the conventions yet to come. Americans are tuning out politics and dialing in baseball and the Olympics, vacations. and the price of gas.

Obama is traveling abroad, demonstrating that he really is a responsible driver. And McCain...
