The news today is that the House Democrats have succeeded in passing their 100-hour agenda.

Haik went to the Democratic, Progressive, Green, and Republican caucuses, then blogged about them. The GOP write-up isn’t posted yet, but there is a little surprise in there. I don’t want to scoop Haik, since he did [...]

Wow. My second post wrote itself, too. Actually, someone wrote my second post, too, I should say.
I did not have time to write my own Martin Luther King, Jr. post today because I was really busy with home and homeschooling things, but this post on the new blog Two Know It Alls, the [...]

In honor of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, I planned to write a post about the difference between Dr. King’s strategy for helping blacks and the current strategy employed by the party that really cares about blacks, the Democrats.
