GOP Festival of Lies, Day Two
Once again, on day two of the Republican National Convention, it was ominous how few mentions of the nominee himself were made. It wasn’t quite as stark as it had been on day one in the speeches of Chris Christie and others, but notable nonetheless. I asserted that the first night’s speeches were evidence that …

In (Reluctant) Defense of Mitt Romney
EXCLUSIVE: Human beings enjoying the company of Mitt Romney I have no love for Willard “Mitt” Romney. He has consistently proven that he is an unprincipled opportunist who bends with every minor political breeze. There is no shortage of statements he’s made and positions he’s held that deserve criticism and ridicule. So my feeling is, let’s …
