According to Derek, well, he’s … Read more
I am not sad to see Dan Goldman lose his primary contest and his seat in Congress, but I feel like we have taken another step down the wrong road for America, as Brad Lander, the person who ousted Goldman, is a Socialist. Let’s stop playing games with semantics and drop the Democratic. These people … Read more

While the star-studded A-listers fawned over Barry Obama and everyone spoke eloquently about this or that, and Obama talked about a world where politics wasn’t so contentious (despite being the great divider), a dirty little secret and an open lie went underreported.
