He is Risen, Indeed!

Very well put.

"Just look at this guys name, "Reince Priebus", if Hollywood wanted to create a character who runs the Republican party and portray him as the ultimate silver spoon, country club Republican, they could not have created a better name ... or person. " I've though that ever since I first heard of this guy..

The lies about the Iraq war stood because they were never effectively countered by the Bush administration. It also didn't help that we tied one hand behind our back and put a patch over one eye to win over Iraqi hearts and minds (remember Muqtada al Sadr?) that caused the war to drag on a lot longer than it needed to.

Great phrase!!!

ditto. (although we in IN at least have Dan Coats, who is pretty good)

I missed nothing. I knew where you were going with this, and I reject it. Of course sweatshops are bad, but the objection was off-topic.

as long as we're throwing up irrelevant red herring concerns, I think we should be more concerned about killing babies in the womb in America.

still trying to figure out why carl levin is pictured with this article. he is chair of senate armed services committee, but that's a stretch.

"The legislation is designed to attack fraud in petitions, and it appears from reports that there were indeed forged signatures on petitions turned in for a couple of 2012 ballot initiatives. The problem is that no one has been charged with a crime." I suspect that this crime is difficult to prosecute successfully since the act of forging a signature, when done reasonably well, disguises the handwriting of the perpetrator, leaving no forensic evidence. And while circumstantial evidence is not completely without merit, without any corroboration, such as eye-witness testimony, charging someone with this crime would be problematic at best. Other than that, excellent column.

THEY are not at war with Al-Qaeda. THEY are at war with American patriots.
