I honestly fell in love with Bill Clinton first when I was in junior high. I was just then getting into party politics, returning to the reality that the effective administration of the very same special education programs I needed ultimately depended upon who was in office.

My sister-in-law sent me this story yesterday, and at first I thought there must be some misunderstanding. It isn't real political news, it isn't policy news, and it is more for hilarity than anything else, although I guess if you wanted to have a debate about due process concerning this case, you could: Nebraska State Senator Ernie Chambers has sued God.

Does the truth not matter to the media anymore? I’m really beginning to wonder and have decided to ponder the subject in this column over the next two weeks.

Hot off the internets, former General Wes Clark endorsed Senator Hillary Clinton this weekend.

I know we live in Texas, home of the free and land of the terrified of government, but I think it might be time to acknowledge that we live in a big state.

I normally like the Center for American Progress' blog Think Progress. Every now and then, though, I wonder who gets the editorial say when it comes to posting certain stories.

Not too long ago, the Center for Public Policy Priorities put out their Family Budget Estimator along with a statement titled "What does it really take to get by in Texas?"

Tuesday in Laredo, there was a riot at the Housing Authority office.

Henry Waxman recently sat down with Thomas Edsall from the Huffington Post, and the resultant interview is a surprisingly insightful read.

Politics is about true stories. Elizabeth Edwards reminded me of that simple fact at her book signing in Dallas Tuesday night.

The governor and his staff are sleeping in the college classroom back row. They slashed $154 million in requested funds for the state’s community colleges.
