Today's Opinions

  • Too much

    “The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure.

        After first digesting the news of Osama bin Laden’s death on May 1, I had two quick thoughts: I’d glad that’s over, and that this man who took such an evil path in his life and caused so much death and suffering has finally been brought to justice.
