The Ghostbuster Effect Remember the movie "Ghostbusters?" Of course you do. Well the other day, while musing about the latest "kinetic action" - as Pentagon brass like to call it - in Iraq and now Syria, I remembered a scene in that movie.

News Blues Cable news is nothing like the news business I was in before hanging it up. First of all, we didn't try to keep a story alive beyond its natural life. We just reported the damn thing with as little la-de-da as possible.

America's Acid Test We're just getting out of a decade of out of power, and it's been tough. But now I'm wondering. Now that Dems are back in power, they forgotten, or simply decided to chuck, all that gushy, flowery stuff our founders put in the Constitution. Have Democrats become like religious folk who pay lip serv

Karma: It’s Real The older I get the more I believe in Karma. There’s nothing metaphysical about it, just hard evidence that it's real. The latest proof came this week when former Virginia governor, Bob McDonnell and his wife, were indicted for being on the take, big time.

Different? Or "Here We Go Again." There are some claims that have become so knee-jerk they are dismissed out of hand as political cliches or demagoguery. Calling someone a Nazi , for example, is one. Another is claiming that every foriegn military action by the US is "another Vietnam." So I'm not going to say that about our current entanglement in Afghanistan.

Imagine; Vice President Hillary Clinton... just imagine... Vice President Hillary R. Clinton. Go ahead, imagine it. No, seriously, imagine it. Now's the time to consider what it would be like, how it would work, or not work.

In Search of "Moderate Talibaners" Now, don't get me wrong. I think Obama has been right about Afghanistan all along. We should have finished the job there and not let bin Laden and gang escape while we were occupied occupying Iraq. But now I'm scratching my head. Word out of the administration is that Obama wants to open a dialog with "moderate elements of the Taliban."

Watch At the Sausage Factory One of the first, and most important, things I learned when I started covering Washington many years ago was that there was not one, but two Washington's. There was the elected Washington, and unelected Washington. One was temporary, the other permanent.

It Takes a Village -- The Whole Village.. How do we pull this economy out of the mud? As the US stock market dives to new lows, one nation's stock market is booming -- Iraq's. Why? Franklin Roosevelt would understand.

To Bomb, Not to Bomb, That IS the Question The biggest guessing game on the planet right now is not who the GOP will pick for their Presidential candidate. I n historic terms that's pretty small-ball stuff. The most burning question (pun intended) right now is; will Israel bomb Iran or not?
