(Rabbi Steven Pruzansky) – The most charitable way of explaining the election results of 2012 is that Americans voted for the status quo – for the incumbent President and for a divided Congress. They must enjoy gridlock, partisanship, incompetence, economic stagnation and avoidance of responsibility. And fewer people voted. But as we...

(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) Does President Obama have no grasp of history? At one point in the debate this week, he accused Mitt Romney of being a throwback. He said: “But Governor, when it comes to our foreign policy, you seem to want to import the foreign policies of the 1980s, just like the...

(Roger Hedgecock) – Last Friday night, I made my way to “Television City” in Los Angeles, the sprawling campus of endless sound stages where America’s favorite as well as forgotten, TV shows are made. I had been invited to be a guest panelist on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” I found...

  (Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) Harry Reid continued his sleight-of-hand routine Tuesday night at the Democratic convention, pointing with exaggerated animation to Mitt Romney’s tax returns in an attempt to distract everyone from the glaring facts right in front of their eyes. Look, rich people! After introducing himself as the humble senator from...

(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – It’s About Ideas Versus Buffoonery. OK. Game on. With Mitt Romney’s selection of Paul Ryan as his Vice Presidential nominee, America’s voters are being presented with a very clear choice. And it’s not the liberal vs. conservative choice you’re thinking I’m going to suggest. That choice is...

(Rich Galen/Mullings.com) – August in Your Nation’s Capital slows to a crawl. The Congress is gone – which is good news for the Republic. In normal years the President and Vice President head for some shore somewhere. Well, George W. didn’t. He headed for Crawford, Texas which meant the national press corps got...

(Roger Stone/The Stone Zone) – A new poll by John Zogby shows former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson moving from 2% to 5.3% nationally. Zogby says an internal analysis of the numbers show that Johnson is pulling a disproportionate number of votes from Republican Mitt Romney. PPP, a Democrat leaning polling company,...

(Jim Clark) – Now that it looks to be clear sailing for Mitt Romney to get the GOP presidential nomination, it’s also time to look past the arguments that dominated the GOP primary/caucus fights and formulate a winning policy position for the November election. President Obama’s pronouncements from his trip to Central...

(Fred Weinberg/The Penny Press) – I’m not like Rush Limbaugh. No matter how much I disagree with a sitting President, I would never wish for his failure in public. In fact, I said on January 20, 2009 and still believe that anybody who watched the inauguration and didn’t have just a little...
