Winning ugly -- Obama and the fiscal cliff
By all accounts, President Barack Obama won the fiscal cliff showdown. Why anyone would take much pride in this kind of "win" is beyond me. It's a bit like being the least filthy toddler in the mud pit. One of the main reasons Mr. Obama won, according...

It's outrageous that Al Jazeera English is not on cable in most U.S. cities
The Baltimore SunAl Jazeera English will premiere a thought-provoking and hard-hitting documentary about Baltimore tonight, but viewers here won't be able to see it on cable TV. That's outrageous, ignorant and maddening. That's the conclusion I came to last week while...Tags: Documentary (genre), Al Jazeera (tv network), Al Jazeera English (tv network), Television Industry, Hillary Clinton

Older, wealthier Americans get plenty of 'free stuff'
In the days following Barack Obama's re-election, we learned that Mr. Obama didn't win because voters trusted him more than Mitt Romney on the economy, or because he ended the Iraq war and killed Osama bin Laden. He didn't win because he started to turn...

Bush's tenure in office may be fondly recalled as a time "when...Tags: World War II (1939-1945), Parties and Movements, Hillary Clinton, Donna F. Edwards, Elections

Finding post-election common ground
