“Blue balls in your heart” isn’t just a memorable bit of purple prose from last night’s typically terrible Frank Semyon dialogue, it’s a metaphor for this season. Anticipation keeps building that something

I’m struggling to pinpoint my favorite part about this Vine from Hillary Clinton. Is it her charming, natural delivery? Is it the suspicion that this lighthearted act of fun-lovin’ spontaneity was focus-grouped for weeks and approved by

The most amazing data point in this poll? He was near 30 percent when they first started polling on Thursday — and then dropped off the table after his comments about McCain as a prisoner of war. Hmmmm. I’ve been through enough online

For those not familiar with the GI Bill – the program which provides numerous benefits for our veterans when they complete their terms of service – it can be a pretty good deal. It’s undergone several changes over the years (having

Jeb Bush versus Scott Walker: Should the next president be ready to attack Iran on day one?

This is interesting less on the policy merits than as an early skirmish in the coming Bush-Walker primary war. Question: Should a new Republican president be prepared to tear up the Iran agreement and maybe act militarily on Inauguration Day 2017, or

If you distract the police with enough other problems, the “little things” get swept under the rug, much like broken windows I suppose. That seems to be the case with the ongoing plague of tobacco piracy in high sin tax states. New York is
