Media lectures Republicans

I’m sorry, but I just love that picture and needed to write a post around it. The New York Times and the Washington Post feel the need to tell Republicans what they need to do to be successful in the next few years. That’s like me taking advice on how to expose phonies from Christopher […]

Washington Post: Want to help veterans? Stop pitying them.

Chief Tango sends us a link to an opinion piece in today’s Washington Post by Howard Schultz and Rajiv Chandrasekaran entitled “Want to help veterans?

“Well, who was the a**hole that did this?”

With the recent 40th anniversary of Nixon’s resignation in 1974 about a week ago, there have been a number of articles about Watergate in the media.  That’s to be expected.
