A Public Servant

I have vowed not to write about the next presidential election until January, 2016. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it… But, because the presidential election cycle seems to begin earlier and earlier each time, th...

Politically Correct

WTF. So President Obama had to apologize for making a compliment. WTF! In a speech at a Democratic fundraising event recently, the President said this of California Attorney General Kamala Harris: “She is brilliant and she is...
