Dear Government:
Yesterday, I spent some time with your average American voters.
You remember that plan you had to divert attention from your war, your recession and your corruption by creating a presidential election full of celebrity-gossip type media coverage, trumpeting what amounts to about a 0.0086 per gallon gas-coupon and then pointing your finger and being [...]

The staff at the Bristol Herald Courier allegedly e-mailed the Mountain Empire Region’s six federal representatives nine questions about the Freedom of Information Act and other federal open government policy matters.

And what have we learned?
1.) Cellphone cameras are not a record.
2.) YouTube is not a record.
3.) If you go on-the-record with [...]

Rep. David Davis is a man of his word.
Back in February, Davis told a gathering of constituents he would call upon federal and state immigration and Homeland Security agents to meet with local police in early March to work out a plan.

I found this will.i.am “We Are The Ones” video by way of Terry Frank.
I’m disappointed, I think.
The video, as a political ad, is okay. As a politically-inspired tune, it stinks – as much or perhaps more than the official Yes We Can campaign song and the “unofficial” I Got a Crush [...]

This morning I stopped at the local beer joint to grab a cup of coffee. (I know it sounds funny, but the beer joint is one of the few places in town brewing JFG. Consequently, they get just as many of the local coffee drinkers as they do alcoholics.)
Anyway, I bumped into Backwoods Bob [...]

We here at the bipartisan watch party are watching. We don’t know exactly what we’re watching for – yet none of us like what we see.
Clinton and McCain are expected to carry California – and McCain and Obama in Missouri.

After months of debates and kissing babies, Super Tuesday is finally here. Mr. Smartypants wants to know what is so super about it… and I don’t know the answer to his question.
I don’t think it is so super myself.
In fact, for the past two weeks, I’ve been out of sorts because I do not [...]
