My Favorite Quote of This Political Season…

“There are only three kinds of pundits: Those who can count, and those who can’t.”

Is TV Great or What!

When I was a little girl my pops took me and my sister to see a Benji movie. Don’t remember which one. We loved Benji. At the end of our row was an older gentleman and his wife. I’d guess they were in their 60s but I was, like, 8 so [...]

All Politics Is Local, Part the First

Cory Booker’s been on my mind lately. There are a number of obvious parallels between his approach to politics and Barack’s [...]
