In what can only be considered a huge setback for President Obama, Democrats in the House have said no to the tax deal that the President recently negotiated with the Republican leadership. Talks go on. Stay tuned!
Liveblogging the First Presidential Debate was so much fun that I’m signing on to live blog the Vice Presidential Debate, too. This one promises to be lots of fun. The details are as follows: Thursday, October 11, 9:00 p.m. Centre College, Danville, KY Moderator: Martha Raddatz Senior Foreign Affairs Correspondent, ABC News If you’ve never…
If you chose, “You’re both crazy rich,” I thank you kindly but you should really read the blog more… Er, no. What Romney (R) and I both have in common with more than 10 million taxpayers is that we’re both part of the 1%… that are on extension to file our individual federal income taxes….
As voters head to the polls to cast ballots in local, state and federal elections, questions linger. It’s been an ugly political season. Allegations of voter fraud, voter tampering, and voter suppression have been in constant circulation and might make you think that our voting system is irretrievably broken. The truth is that voting in…
