Liberals for Gary Johnson?

Posted on September 17, 2016 by hbreck

Every Presidential election is mostly a two-person race – from a practical standpoint, anyway. Occasionally a third party candidate does make some noise. In 2000, Ralph Nader got a lot of attention, and shook up the race, arguably weakening Democratic … Continue reading →

Impeach the Senate Judiciary Committee

Posted on March 17, 2016 by hbreck

Okay, please bear with me here, as this one will probably sound pretty angry. And forgive the title, as I’m aware that what I’m going to say is likely not sufficient to actually call for impeachment. But this is an … Continue reading →

Sizing up the competition

Posted on March 4, 2016 by hbreck

Yep. This is what we’ve come to. The frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination made dick jokes during a nationally televised debate. When Senator Rubio sunk to “The Donald’s” childish level by making jokes about his hands, Trump couldn’t help but respond in … Continue reading →
