After taking punches for two weeks, the Kerry campaign looks ready to hit back. Their new internet-only (for now) ad is 45 seconds of a debate from the 2000 Republican primaries between John McCain, George W. Bush and Alan Keyes. McCain confronts Bush on the smear tactics used against him by “fringe veterans [...]
Loyal 1115.org reader, longtime friend and noted kitchen magician Andysine will be cooking for Vice President Dick Cheney later this month when the veep visits Pottsville, PA. Since none of us will ever get within shouting distance of anyone in this administration, (and they won’t take serious questions over the web), Andy has generously [...]

Regular readers of this site know that I’m making the trip to New York City to observe the Republican National Convention. Obviously I’m not going to attend the actual [...]
It’s never my first choice to resort to simple name-calling. I can always make a better case for what I think is right and wrong simply by letting the facts speak for themselves. But sometimes, the situation is so egregious that name-calling is fair game.
Yesterday I published a letter that I wrote to [...]
When President Bush announced his plan to push “faith-based initiatives”, it rang warning bells for those who actually care about the separation between church and state. While it is certainly a noble goal to combat problems such as drug addiction and homelessness, providing federal funds (ie: tax dollars) to religious groups who treat these problems [...]
Mr. Card:
I recently learned of the “Ask the White House” feature when my good friend Rob alerted me to your appearance.
It is so rare these days to be able to question our leaders, so I quickly filled out the form and sent in my question: “Since the President doesn’t read newspapers or watch TV news, [...]
