With the new Republican power in Washington, it is doubly important to keep a close eye on the doings of GOP Senators and Congressmen to spot those who are straying from orthodoxy, seduced by power and the insider clubiness that…

The battle over redistricting has begun.

Florida will pick up two U.S. House seats and Republicans, who will hold 19 of the state’s…

I want to wish a Merry Christmas to everyone....I have never really understood the reason to substitute Happy Holidays.  My wife and I just returned from 3 weeks in Belgium, Austria and Germany.  How wonderful it was to see all the navitity scenes and displays in center of cities and small towns.  It was exactly as I remembered years past in my own hometown in Maine.  Everyone participated in school and church plays about the birth of Christ and true meaning and reason for celebrating…

Let's assume an openly gay soldier is posted to service in a combat theater where the host government is a theocracy that does not tolerate gays.  Is that gay person now exempt from combat service in that theater?

If so,

'Net neutrality' sounds nice, but the Web is working fine now. The new rules will inhibit investment, deter innovation and create a billable-hours bonanza for lawyers.
