Missing the Boat on Gingrich’s Tiffany’s Issue
I’ll admit it, I am enjoying the epic flame-out of the Gingrich 2012 campaign. Watching him contort himself to prove that he is totally consistent with his 24-hours-ago-self is like paying the extra money to see behind the scenes at the circus freak show.

Pick The Hill To Die On
First, let’s talk about reality. The US Senate is the most ridiculous legislative body on earth. It has a lot of rules and runs by unanimous consent.

The Rich Agree: Tax The Rich
Why are we talking about keeping the Bush tax cuts that have been an abysmal failure at creating jobs and keeping the economy strong? Even 64% of people with incomes over $250K believe that their taxes should be higher.
