I'm going to hang two flags this afternoon. One is, of course, our American Flag; the other is a D-Day 75th Anniversary Flag.

I'm dyslexic, and cannot picture this in my mind. Thanks in advance!

I am in Detroit, MI area this week teaching my regular AP US Government & Politics Seminar for Teachers. This is...

WASHINGTON – Democratic congressional leaders and the Obama administration indicated Monday that they will push for greater federal authority to locate electric transmission lines, saying a national power grid stands in the way of developing alternative energy sources. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said he will soon introduce legislation that includes giving federal regulators authority to override states on electric grid placement decisions as part of a package of energy proposals the Senate is expected to take up in the coming weeks. "We cannot let 231 state regulators hold up progress," Reid said, referring to the members of state...

Coming up after these messages from our sponsors: more messages from our sponsors. Fearless Prediction: This fall one of the hapless makeover subjects in Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, the hit cable show on Bravo that also runs on NBC, will likely be deemed to have inadequately gleaming teeth. The solution? Crest Whitestrips. Procter & Gamble makes Crest, and it is now in talks with NBC to feature the strips in at least one episode of the new series as part of a broader ad deal. Brace yourself for more of the same: product pitches inside the shows themselves....
