The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.
It won’t take long for conservatives to scratch this presidential wannabe off their 2008 scorecard.
The American Christmas, like the songs that celebrate it, makes room for everybody under the rainbow. Is that why so many people seem to be hostile to it?

"Green" jobs are a misnomer; they should be relabled RED jobs. That is, top down, central planning jobs. Without subsidies and local mandates to buy the power, none of this power would be feasible. The market is not driving "green" power or "green" jobs, but government planning ala the Soviet Union.
