Gun Control: expanded background checks fail to pass in the Senate. Democrats, you can thank Harry Reid, who once again let the party down and allowed himself to be wuss bullied by the NRA, even after children were gunned down in the Sandy Hook Shooting.

“Likely voters.” You know the term. It’s for people who pollsters think are most likely to show up at the polls, even in Florida. The trouble is most of the time they tend to be older, white, and male. What’s problematic is that in this hyper-media World, people tend to react to what comes from […]

In the video, she was referred to as “hot,” which this blogger stands by, but the other story is she does not appear on the website of the Patriot Update – that’s who she said she was affiliated with. Unless maybe she owns the site? Whatever, the video came to life because she was one […]
While at the Democratic National Convention, this blogger made a point of seeking out members of the California Delegation to talk to whenever possible.

The neat thing about the Democratic National Convention is it allows one the ability to meet some of the legendary journalists and political figures of our time – take Clarence Page.

Congrats to Livebolt, The TechCrunch Disrupt Hackathon winner.

Looking back, The Green Lantern movie is what brought the flick’s stars Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively together and to the point of getting married, as they reportedly did over the last weekend. Moreover, this blogger wonders if Scarlett Johannsen’s appearance as a speaker at the Democratic National Convention had something to do with an […]
The Honorable Norman Mineta is someone who’s name you may have heard of if you live in San Jose because the local airport is named after him.

I talked with Ohio Governor (actually former Governor, but protocol says call him Gov, still) Ted Strickland just after his rousing speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Mitt Romney can thank Clint Eastwood. Gallup, the legendary polling organization, reported no bounce for the GOP Presidential Pick after last week’s Republican National Convention.

And what drives the fact that this cultural stew tastes so good to so many is that Democrats not just mention diversity but take pride in it. Because of that one theme is constant at this convention, and that’s maintaining […]
