How the US Government Works, from House.gov:
The US Government was structured in order to preserve a balance of power between the three respective branches of government. The three branches are known as the legislative, judicial and executive. Our forefathers, concerned that one branch of government would become too powerful created a system of […]
Mickey Edwards, Princeton lecturer and former Republican congressman:
Oh, brother. What idiot came up with this stunt?
It ranks somewhere on the stupidity scale between plain silly and numbingly desperate. McCain and Obama are both members of the senate and they’re both able to help craft a solution if they wish to do so without putting the […]
From Foreign Policy, 20 Questions We’d Love to Ask Sarah Palin:

In fact, America is becoming more and more of a theocracy just as Iranian demographic trends make Iran to be less and less of one. In 2019, at this rate, the countries might be closer alike […]
There are going to be many things said - and hoped - in the wake of Fidel Castro’s resignation.
Ultimately, he was not “toppled” by American agents, he succumbed to health. One wonders how close Castro is to his end, but clearly, his legacy will be that of the most resilient leader of the 20th century. […]
When the Americans left Afghanistan, they ventured West into Iraq. Some joked that the timing coincided with the liberation of Afghani women. They no longer had to wear burkas and they could attend school.
Today we read about how Iraqi women in Basra are popping up everywhere attacked, mutilated and dead.
Nothing spells freedom like mutilation.
