“Come on John.  You are coming with me.”
The raspy voice belonged to Corinne Michel, the wife of House Minority Leader Robert Michel, and probably one of the nicest people of I have ever met.
Mrs. Michel, an avid smoker, had a wry sense of humor and very level head.  The mother of four grown (and successful [...]]]></description>

(January 3, 2017)  Hillary Clinton today became the first female President of the United States, as she took the Oath of Office on the West Front of the Capitol.
Clinton promised to build a village for the American people, because as she put it, “it takes a village to raise a child.”
The former First Lady, Senator [...]]]></description>

But his statement is not only incredibly stupid from a political [...]]]></description>

Mitt Romney won a big victory and that win should propel him to the nomination sometime by June, given the vagaries of the proportional delegate system put in place by the Republican National Committee.
But Romney shouldn’t feel that comfortable with his position in the party or with the state of his party at the moment.  [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
In 1956, Kenneth Stampp, a historian from the University of California at Berkely, wrote the seminal book about slavery.  Called The Peculiar Institution, the book destroyed the myth of a benign, paternalistic southern society, popularized by such movies as “Gone with the Wind.”
In truth, slavery sucked.  It dehumanized the slaves, destroyed families, destabilized society, and [...]]]></description>

This originally appeared in The Hill
The Republican Party seems to be in a state of complete chaos.
Right-wing conservatives, like Ann Coulter, bitterly attack Newt Gingrich, while Tea Party heroes like Erick Erickson continually eviscerate Mitt Romney.  Media heavyweight Rush Limbaugh comes to Newt’s defense, while the venerably conservative National Review takes up the Romney cause.

A smart guy emailed me over the weekend with a very provocative assertion:  All of this income inequality stuff is over-blown political rhetoric.

It seems to me the whole premise of the Obama/Hill Dem position is that [...]]]></description>

Sanjeev Mehra, Chairman of the Board of Hawker Beechcraft and a top executive at Goldman Sachs was memorably quoted as saying “the rumors of the death of private equity are premature.”
He would know.
As one of the most prominent private-equity bankers in the world, Mehra is an expert in the field.

There were two really good moments for Mitt Romney is last night’s debate.
One was his smack-down of Newt Gingrich’s moon colony remarks.
I am in favor of a moon colony, by the way, but Newt only trotted out his proposal when he addressed Florida’s Space Coast, and as Romney pointed out, Newt has a habit of [...]]]></description>
