Everything you need to know about lobbyists
There is no part of our public policy establishment that is more demonized than THE LOBBYIST. Nary a kind word is said about them and they are virtually always portrayed as evil, conniving, ruthless, heartless, greedy, dishonest, corrupt … well, you get the idea.

Read MoreObama care provides insurance people cannot afford
From its introduction in Congress, the Affordable Care Act (nee Obamacare) has been the subject of controversy. It was sold to the public – and to a lot of members of Congress – on the improbable promises that all the uninsured would get good health coverage at a low cost – and any one could keep their doctor.

Read MoreThe Black Face Mystery
One can see where mockingly wearing blackface can be seen as offensive to many people – black and white. Besides, any accusations of sexual assault – rape – must be taken seriously.
