With the election about a month away, I figured now would be as good a time as any to blog about the political lay of the land and what the world may look like on November 3. These assessments are made on a number of factors (conversations with politicos from across the state, campaign people, […]
It’s amazing what happens when you take a few days off. I was going to try to blog about a couple recent news items, but the Lovely Mrs. Shabazz only allowed me to have twitter and Facebook privileges. But I did make it a point to keep up on the news and here are my […]
There have been quite a few news items that have been on my radar screen this week that I’m finally getting a chance to chime in on, so with that said, here they are. Senate Stuff Is it my imagination, or is there a 9-11 subtext in the latest round of Dan Coats political commercials? […]
