I’ve heard stories over the past year about people who have sent out racist emails about our president and gotten in trouble for either creating them or passing them on. Just recently, a Colorado Department of Transportation worker was disciplined for forwarding an email of President Obama shining Sarah Palin’s shoes, using her state [...]

I saw this today and it made me smile:

When I first heard that Mark Begich would be holding a town hall meeting at Bartlett High School tonight, I figured I’d better stay as far away from that crazy as possible. Even though I want to support Senator Begich in the fight for health care, I knew that there would be a good [...]
