    Narcissism Nation; Shameless Self Promotion Can Mask Lack of Talent, Skill

    GOP Chair is Right to Ditch NBC and CNN From Hosting Presidential Debates

    America's Fascination With Weiner, Spitzer and Sex Scandals

    Janet Napolitano Leaving DHS Under Cloud of Suspicion

    Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano suddenly announced last week that she was resigning her position at the embattled agency in order to take a $750,000-a-year job as president of the University of California system.

    Edward Snowden: Hero or Traitor?

    A whistleblower has exposed the National Security Administration's warrantless spying on millions of ordinary Americans, and conservatives are divided in their reactions. Former Vice President Dick Cheney and Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) are calling former NSA contractor Edward Snowden a traitor. This may be the only time I ever disagree with them.
