You could point and laugh at the Beltway, and you should, but since D.C. is involved, there will no doubt be some of your money involved at some point, too. Also, pity the poor normal people in the rest of Virginia who must endure the antics of Northern

Remember the rationale for Hillary Clinton’s infamous “reset button” with Russia, given to Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov? Hillary and Barack Obama claimed that the issues with US-Russian relations were created by George W. Bush

Serious question: Who would be Rand Paul's VP?

Given his chances at the nomination, I suppose this is a more of a semi-serious question. But I started thinking about it when writing the “VP Romney” post and found myself surprised at how hard it is to come up with a good answer. So I put

This story is actually quite fascinating and it obviously has something to do with changes in the climate, but just how to explain it all remains a subject of contention. You would think that increasing temperatures would make things worse in the deserts

C’mon, you know I had to blog it. The only thing better on a slow news day than “Romney 2016″ silliness would be a big new poll on atheist gay marriage. Don’t let me down, YouGov. He lost a Senate race in Massachusetts, then won

This may seem like a no-brainer — of course the guy who’s been in charge for six years bears more responsibility for the current state of affairs than his predecessor — but for much of the public, Iraq is “Bush’s war”
