There was a marvelous moment in Washington, DC, the other day. No, I am not talking about the reports that Ruth Buzzi Ginsberg apparently stayed awake for the entire Obamacare hearing. I’m not even thinking of that oh-so-telling, hot-mic moment for President Obama, when he confided to Russia’s president that after his coronation in November […]
I grimaced yesterday as I read a local online publication called the Swampscott Patch, which covers the greater Massachusetts area. The site had a release from the principal of a high school advising that on Friday he would waive the school’s dress code so students could wear hoodies all day and in every class, part […]
It does my heart good to see The Supremes back together and almost working a full day. The nine distinguished justices are, of course, hearing the matter of Obamacare. By Supreme Court standards it’s an overtime day. They will have actually heard a grand total of six hours of oral arguments spread out over the […]
Rick Santorum snagged a win this past weekend in Louisiana. He picked up less than a dozen delegates. Santorum recently said that voting for Mitt Romney was really the same as voting for Barack Obama and then decided it wasn’t. Santorum correctly points out that Romney is a seriously flawed candidate and given Romney’s crafting […]
Mitt Romney’s minister of information appeared on CNN the other day and made a big faux pas. He accidentally inadvertently told the truth. And when a senior campaign strategist, adviser and confidante blurts out the truth it really makes headlines. It attracts even more attention when a beloved child’s toy is mentioned. Yes indeed, the […]
With a decisive margin of victory in last night’s Illinois primary, Mitt Romney took one step closer to becoming the GOP nominee. But he still has huge gaps in his quest for the presidency. Evangelical Christians, Tea Party patriots, and those who describe themselves as very conservative are still not in his camp. Come November, […]
Mitt Romney scored a big win in Puerto Rico, picking up more than 80 percent of the vote and grabbing all of the 20 delegates up for grabs. Romney told the people of Puerto Rico that if they wanted to become the fifty-first state, he would support that effort. But then again so did Rick […]
There are plenty of stories about Mitt Romney putting his foot in his own mouth. Some of these linguistic misadventures are the result of some careful editing; some from the strategic removal of context; and then there are those times where Romney just can’t help himself. I don’t begrudge Romney any of his millions and […]
Often politics are a function of the heart and not the head. Certainly the Republican primary so far has involved a lot of passion, but now it seems that hearts should be placed aside while brains are pressed into service. What has become clear as a result of the votes on Super Tuesday is that […]
Does Washed-out Wednesday follow Super Tuesday? I don’t know. I do know that as I had previously sensed, yesterday’s elections were a split decision. Newt Gingrich won Georgia handily; Rick Santorum grabbed Tennessee, North Dakota and Oklahoma; Mitt Romney picked up Alaska, Idaho, Massachusetts, Ohio, Vermont and Virginia; while Ron Paul is said to be […]
