Obama’s vice presidential running mate will be none other than Sweet Caroline herself. Think about it, if Barack calls upon Caroline Kennedy he will do nothing but increase his rock star status by strengthening the aura of Camelot regained. Think about the drama of a sick, weakened Patriarch drawing his last public breaths to anoint [...]

I’ve started a weekly column here. Probably the most significant abortion litigation in the country right now just became public: story here. (Let ‘er rip, SteveZ!) Adventures in politics here.
