I have heard and read so many political pundits and mainstream media types stating the Democratic Party must rephrase its message to sway voters back into the fold. Nothing could be further from the truth. ...more

Our son Nick was on Flight 253 from Amsterdam, coming home for Christmas after four months at sea, to be with his family. We thank God that the bomb this scum bag was carrying didn't detonate and that our son arrived safely the next day. This was truly a Christmas to be thankful for! Thinking about what could have been is made more difficult by the political issues being made of the "attempted murder" of our son and 277 other men, women and children. This is not a partisan political issue! I wonder what all the political pundits would be saying if someone tried to murder their son! One thing is for sure, this is one sick world we're living in today! ...more

The 3,650 days that will have brought us to 11:59 on the last day of the decade mark the end of this chapter known as the 00s. Reviewing the path that brought us to the verge of 2010 has allowed us limited accessibility into hindsight. Because 10 years is but a thread of the overall tapestry, framing the culmination of a decade into the less epochal mindset of watching the ball drop is more prevalent and doubtless easier than accepting it as the end of an era.

When the Sunday morning political pundits began talking last year about the tab for the war in Iraq hitting $1 trillion, Rob Simpson sprang from his sofa in indignation. ...more

Some political pundits have said that if it were not for his last name, he might have been the Republican nominee for president this year. But former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush tells me he is happy to support the McCain-Palin ticket, which he predicts, perhaps predictably, will win. Of Gov. Sarah Palin, he says, "She has generated so much enthusiasm, which was the one element of the campaign that was completely missing." ...more

You've got to give it to Barack Obama. He took the bait and ran with it, scoring some valuable political mileage abroad. But the question is -- do Americans really care that the Germans and the French love Obama -- enough to give him a ticket to the White House? That remains to be seen. ...more
