In case you haven’t already figured it out, that e-mail I mentioned yesterday, asking me about President Bush’s legacy, was from Dan Barlow at the Vermont Press Bureau. The story is in today’s Rutland Herald, State’s Bush fans still loyal, and the Barre-Montpelier Times Argus, Vermont Republicans argue Bush’s legacy not yet cast. (Both are [...]
I just received an e-mail asking me to comment on the legacy of President George W. Bush. Honestly, I have not given a lot of thought to this matter. I think much of President Bush’s legacy remains to be determined by what happens in the future. I guess that is usually the [...]

Caterers in Denver have been excited about the potential of being chosen to serve at the Democratic National Convention this summer. That is, until they read the RFP.
Fried foods are forbidden at the committee’s 22 or so events, as is liquid served in individual plastic containers. Plates must be reusable, like china, recyclable or [...]
Being that you are a political blog reader, I assume you heard about Barack Obama’s comments at a California fundraiser regarding the folks over in Pennsylvania.

Today, I was flipping through the channels and I saw a clip of Exxon Mobil executive J. Stephen Simon testifying before the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
Mr. Simon stated that from 2003-2007, Exxon Mobil’s world-wide profits have increased 89%, but in that same time period, their world-wide taxes have increased 170%.
