I taught English/Writing in a Texas public school for seven years. This was in the 90's. I never felt that the American History section of the state-adopted textbook was particularly biased. Part of the curriculum included teaching The Declaration of Independence. The fact that the school...

Hard to feel much sympathy for the Republicans and the sloppy pool of tizzy they high- dived into. Perplexed as how to combat financial regulatory legislation, they are bouncing back and forth between a filibuster and a compromise like a ping- pong ball in a stainless steel shower stall. Their...

One senator stands alone in stopping a measure that would cover those whose unemployment benefits have expired. That senator is a former major league baseball player, and Republican from Kentucky. His name is Jim Bunning--call him Ebenezer Bunning.
One might call Sen. Bunning's actions those of a...

Now that it has been established by leaders and commentators across the political spectrum that the Obama administration is a failure, Americans everywhere must reassess their positions and plans for the three years that remain.
