Egypt in danger of becoming Obama’s Iran.
Republicans LOVE to bash Jimmy Carter. Ridiculing him as an “abject failure” has become sport on the Right.

Understanding “Global Warming” in 30 seconds.
Happy New Year! You may have noticed that precious little attention has been paid to the subject of “Global Climate Change” since the Obama Administration took office. A few minor policies here and there. But where is that desperately needed “Green Jobs Program” when unemployment is pushing 10% and the nations weather patterns are going […]
