At the beginning of 2009, the choice before Democrats who controlled the 111th Congress was whether they would enact historic legislation, even at the risk of their majority, or whether they would play it safe.
They gave the safe option a pass, with two results: This will go down as the most productive Congress since the 89th, which was even more Democratic because of Lyndon Johnson’s 1964 landslide. And 52 Democratic House incumbents, most elected in 2006 or 2008, lost their seats. Read more »

It didn’t take long.
Six weeks ago, after Democrats took what President Obama called a real “shellacking” in the midterm elections, pundits fell all over themselves writing Obama’s political obituary. Whether liberal or conservative, they all agreed on one thing: He’s dead. He’s toast. His presidency is over.

Rush Limbaugh is plugging a new book whose conservative agenda attacks liberals. But the facts the book alleges about Barbra Streisand, as reported in the WorldNetDaily website, just aren't factual. The website, celebrating Limbaugh's breathless praising of the book, says, "It points out how Barbra Streisand, while lamenting the way labor unions are treated in this country, gets all of her movies produced in Canada."Read more »

'Love Is The Answer', Barbra's 63rd album, has climbed to position 1 on the UK album charts, in it's second week.
