This is Congressman Chris Van Hollen, the man that represents our district on the Hill. He’s got our heartfelt thanks and gratitude.
Do you want to know why? My wife and her students had to suffer for seven months at her piano studio — without heat in the winter and without air conditioning in the summer [...]
I’m watching Hillary Clinton’s concession speech right now, and I just realized something. Obama was accused of playing dirty politics a few years ago in Chicago, when he eliminated his competition. He checked their candidacy applications to make sure they obeyed all the rules when collecting the required signatures. None of them fully qualified, so [...]

I felt compelled to post this after watching Barack Obama’s “Call to Renewal” speech, given on 6/28/06 in Washington, DC. I’ve supported Sen. Obama for the last few months, and after watching this, I know I want to see him as president.
Obama is the kind of man that appeals to my heart and mind. He [...]
I thought you’d enjoy a couple of good videos about how voting in America works:

We turned 300 million today (people, that is) here in the grand old (or young, depending on your point of view) US of A. Yay!
Lots of us to go around, all of us immigrants (although some would think otherwise). We love big, open spaces, big cars, big houses, big meals and given our experiences when [...]
When we’re already spending 8 billion dollars a month to keep our current armed forces in Iraq (a staggering figure by any account), Senator McCain calls for more troops to send over there. Can’t someone make this arms-happy and money-foolish senator realize that it’s fiscally irresponsible to call for more troops, which will only require [...]
» Go to this postAs if we weren’t trillions of dollars in debt, Congress happily approved the spending of more than $70 billion more to continue the peace-bringing wars (an oxymoron if I’ve ever heard of one) in the Middle East. This is completely irresponsible behavior in view of the financial and human reality. They can window-dress things all [...]
» Go to this postStumbled onto this entry on Vinnie Lauria’s blog, listing the bank balances of various world countries. At the bottom of the list… the US of A. Our bank balance: $ -829,100,000,000. Say what?! Yes, according to the CIA, so it’s got to [...]
» Go to this postNewsweek has an interesting, behind-the-scenes look at Bush’s visit to G8. The article flatters Bush, to be sure, but what I find interesting are the snippets about Putin’s surveillance of the mansion where Bush stayed, and his slight of China’s Hu Jintao. The article has other juicy bits, and it’s worth reading.

You may or may not have heard about the serious gaffe on the part of Senator Ted Stevens (R), who is Chairman of the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation. He voted against the Net Neutrality Act, and gave a speech on the Senate floor to explain his actions. He may have been better [...]
» Go to this postJust read an article written by someone at AP and published on MSNBC, entitled “World feels China’s growing thirst for oil“. I wish they’d publish author names as well! This was a very well-written article, and full of insights into the issue.
If you thought China’s energy demands are small still compared to the US, you’d [...]
