Robert Reich explains why Democrats should not be so gleeful when imagining Newt Gingrich winning the Republican nomination. I agree, a Newtie presidency would be devastating. But I also reserve the right to be gleeful the longer he stays in the race. Besides, if the quotes in Reich's article are any indication there is no way the Republican party will let Newt win the nomination so I'm not too

After giving concessions to Republicans in the form of tax cuts (which DO NOT WORK as advertised if the current economic situation is any indication) in the Stimulus Bill, ALL of the House Republicans voted against it. And now the Obama Administration has said they will release job figures state by state. What these numbers will most likely show is that A) job loss disproportionately affects

Yes, the current president. He finally did something right. He dodged a shoe, two shoes actually. Eight years and I can proudly say, at least he's got quick reflexes. Sadly, it's the most impressive thing he's done as President.And, apparently Dana Perino, White House spokesperson, got a black eye during the melee. Somehow fitting.

Don't know who Don Siegelman is? He is the former Governor of Alabama, who was brought up on trumped up corruption charges, convicted, and immediately sent to federal prison for a 7 year sentence. Almost eight months later he was released pending his appeal. There are substantial questions about the case and specifically about the role of one Karl Rove.
