I was glad to see this report to find out I'm not the only one. At my current day job, we receive quarterly emails telling us not to use a variety of services, but no one ever checks into it.

They grasped the real significance of this moment. They knew it meant that America had finally switched sides in a global cultural war. Forget the Cold War, or even the Iraq War. The United States, having for the most part a deeply conservative people, had until now just about stood out against many of the mistakes which have ruined so much of the rest of the world. Suspicious of welfare addiction, feeble justice and high ...

A quick election wrap-up first: Sen. Obama deserved his win. He organized the best campaign and ran his playbook to perfection. As The New York Times reports today, it was a near-flawless run. As for the Senate, it looks as if the Democrats will have a 56- or 57-seat majority--the latter would be the same as Bill Clinton enjoyed during the his first two years as president. The number 56 assumes that Norm Coleman will ...
