What’s it like to be famous and seemingly nobody knows your name?
Ask Colin Hay.

Following the 2000 Presidential Election, when Al Gore lost to George Bush despite having 543,816 more votes than his opponent, a number of Americans (especially those who voted for Gore) began to ask the question: IS THIS SYSTEM DEMOCRATIC?

Four years after the overthrow of Saddam Hussein, the Bush Administration continues its senseless and wasteful policy of attempting to police a Muslim civil war. The costs are staggering – 3,400 killed, 26,000 wounded, and $400 billion spent.

Iraq is more violent than when the occ...

The bodies were still warm when President Bush took the opportunity to promote gun rights.

Many of my constituents on the Left will not like much of what I am about to say. Frankly, it?s astonishing to me to hear so many progressives citing right-wing talking points on this issue.
