Hillary Clinton is a polarizing political figure, and I have been admittedly on the side that typically finds her an annoying power-monger. That said, here's where she stands: On every issue, there are big differences but the biggest difference is the disregard for our constitutional democracy, the disdain for checks and balances, the denial of...

Track how your senators vote. Biography info, etc. available as well.

Update: Just in case you thought all this ta-do about torture and civil rights didn't apply to you. Surprise. I am a political conservative. I'm in favor of local control. A smaller federal government. Fewer laws. Individual freedom. A balanced budget. Historically, this is the song and dance of the Republican party, and truth be told, I've been registered...

Perhaps I was the only one, but I found the early non-pitstop elimination of muslims Bilal and Sa'eed to be an absolutely classless move on the part of the show's producers. For me (and judging from their reaction the other contestants too) it cast a large pall over the affair. The out-of-the-blue elimination seemed so unfair and so out of character with...

WARNING: SPOILERS MAY FOLLOW. The great Christian apologist C.S. Lewis also penned a series of fantastical, biblically themed books about a magical land called Narnia. The most famous of these, The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, was made into a major motion picture last year. Erin and I saw it on DVD last night. Unlike the book, it is, unfortunately,...

Do we torture? Oh yes we do. We are becoming our own worst enemy.
