Piers Morgan – depending on which account you read – has either been dropped by CNN, has decided to leave, or a mix of the two. Morgan, who replaced Larry King at the plum 9:00PM prime time spot three years ago because King – once CNN\’s highest-rated host – had been dropping viewers right and left (literally), was charged with...
Either the Ukrainian opposition was unbelievably lucky, or brilliantly tactical. The only thing that might have stood in the way of removing its pro-Russia (read that pro-USSR) President,Viktor Yanukovych, and replacing him with a more pro-west leader was the possible intervention of Vladimir Putin (I sometimes wonder if that name was shortened, by removing “Ras” from its...

How bad is ObamaCare for Democrat incumbents (not to mention insurgents)? Bad enough that they are trying to find a way out of having to defend it. This is a dilemma. Because if they say it is the disaster on wheels that most people know it to be, they are going directly against the President and their party leadership. That\’s not how you get campaign funds. So the...

Are unions going to war against Republican Governors – specifically Republican Governors who have made it easier for citizens to get work without joining a union? That depends. If you think of unions as the people who belong to them – whether voluntarily or involuntarily – the answer is no. Every study I have seen for years shows that a large plurality of union...
