How often do you blog about politics?

Daily (mostly) except for weekends (usually)

What political issues are most important to you?

I am concerned about the war in Iraq, the politicization of our DOJ, the failure of our regulatory bodies to function properly, election and voting issues, and our environmental legacy. And as morose as I sound, I actually still do have a sense of humor ... somewhere. I just saw it! Where did it go?

Do you have a political blog?

"Individual Responsibility and Mutual Responsibility ..."

With Barack Obama's acceptance speech tonight, he did at least two things: 1.

In the heat of debate, however, Wilberforce makes the mistake of referring to "the will of the people." Post American Revolution, and during a time when just across the channel a bloody Fre… Continue

The Right Woman for the Job

Just minutes ago, Senator Clinton gave a speech endorsing Senator Obama to be the next president of these United States. In the afterglow of her grace and graciousness, it occurs to me that I have yet to publicly express congratulations to Senator Obama and I do so now, without reservation. Senator Clinton's speech was not simply an endorsement of Obama, however. It was yet another glimpse of one of her strengths: leading by example. I am grateful for her example.

The Pledge of Allegiance Revisited

When I got back from vacation, I saw this article about 3 students suspended for refusing to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance in their classroom. The students are 8th graders in Minnesota. This case presents us with a prime example of what "freedom" is NOT. Last week, I posted a piece about the importance of dissent and how a democracy's health… Continue
