It should come as no surprise that the highly dysfunctional U.S. Senate was unable to reach a compromise on the so-called &#8220;Student Loan Bill&#8221;.  Although most lawmakers in both parties agree that extending the low 3.4% rate on federally subsided Stafford Loans would be a good thing, the disagreement comes on how the $6.0 billion cost would be funded.  As ...]]></description>

In the recent presidential elections in France the voters sent a very clear signal to the French government, to the other European members of the EU, and to a lesser extent, the rest of the industrialized world.  The message was that the French people would no longer tolerate sharp budget cuts and economic austerity as a response to the budget ...]]></description>

The U.S. Postal Service is in deep financial trouble, and it doesn&#8217;t look like things are going to get much better any time soon.   Declining mail volume, combined with a congressional mandate to prefund retirement health care benefits have resulted in a $5.1 billion loss for the latest fiscal year.  This situation is sure to get even worse in subsequent ...]]></description>

For many years  ultra-conservative and self-proclaimed prophet, Rush Limbaugh, has gained great popularity and a huge national radio audience by preaching a particularly divisive brand of extremist, right-wing dogma.  By claiming an almost &#8220;Messianic&#8221; understanding of the truth, and using a highly inflammatory language, Limbaugh has managed to convince his listeners over the years of his near omniscience on political ...]]></description>

The people of Afghanistan have been rioting in the streets, screaming anti-U.S. slogans , and killing American citizens ever since the unfortunate &#8220;Quran-burning incident&#8221; by the U.S. military on February 24th.   This two-week long binge of violent behavior and hatred toward America has been largely fueled by top officials within the Karzai regime and the powerful Council of Muslim Scholars.  ...]]></description>

We entered Afghanistan after 9/11 ostensibly to look for Osama bi Laden. Lo these many years later, we are as hated there by Afghan citizens as we were when we first arrived. To some extent, I can understand.
The Afghanistan citizens, both civilian and military, are furious with US troops who disposed of Qurans in a fire pit almost one week ...]]></description>

For the first time since the Republican Party&#8217;s  national convention in 1952, there is a good chance that no presidential candidate will have the required 1,144 votes needed to sew up the nomination at the time the convention begins.  The possibility of a &#8220;brokered convention&#8220;, like the ones held a hundred years ago with party bosses in smoke-filled rooms, has ...]]></description>

During this particular time in the primary &#8220;election cycle&#8221;, the Republican and Democratic Party front-runners usually step forward to stake a claim to their  party&#8217;s presidential nomination.  This time around, however, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum are both claiming to be the Republican candidate best suited to take on Barack Obama in the November election.  The battle for supremacy between ...]]></description>

In this highly political environment there are no lack of conservative publications, radio talk shows,  and television stations attempting to uncover the strengths and weaknesses of the Republican presidential candidates.  The most influential, perhaps, of all the conservative publications in the country is The National Review.  This is a publication  written by staunch conservatives (many of whom are Republican leadership ...]]></description>

Over the course of the last three years, Americans have very consistently told pollsters that the &#8220;number 1&#8243;  issue facing the country is how to improve the domestic economy.  In fact, most of the woes being experienced by  Americans, such as unemployment, mortgage foreclosure, and loss of pension funds, are due to an economy that went into a tailspin in ...]]></description>

The upcoming Republican caucuses in Colorado and Minnesota, along with the non-binding primary in Missouri should determine once and for all who will be anointed as the front-running, &#8220;non-Romney&#8221; candidate in the GOP.  This is not a small issue among the ultra-conservative &#8220;Tea Party&#8221; wing, who view Romney as a betrayer of  core Republican values, and an opportunist that is  ...]]></description>
