I found a second blog I was reading that I will no longer be following. This makes two in just under a year where the author moved sufficiently (and consistently) away from the reasons I would read their blogs into areas that I don’t agree, feel that the individual is wrong, and where the individual [...]

Another of President Bush’s ex-official’s have decided to endorse Obama. This is interesting. It is actually rather uncommon for party members, and high ranking ones at that, to endorse someone other than the candidate from their own party. In this case, Scott McClellan has joined Colin Powell in endorsing Obama. Truth told, when I listened [...]
