Yesterday was the end of democracy in America. The President of the United States continued his mission of making the nation a socialist (if not fascist-communist) country, following the path of Hitler. At least that’s what you would think having listened to some of the parents outraged that the president was going to make an [...]

In lieu of a Song of the Day for August 25th, I felt it more important to honor a fallen legend. Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, or “Teddy” as he came to be affectionately known, was referred to as “the Lion of the Senate” and was one of only two men to stand for election [...]

There’s a little too much love for Glenn Beck in Utah. I mean, I get it: He has an endearing story. He has overcome an addiction to alcohol and gone from a small radio program in Kentucky to CNN Headline News to the news source you can always count on, Fox News. He’s also very [...]

When I talk with people about foreign policy issues, some of their most common concerns deal with blood and treasure. After maintaining the conversation for awhile, I typically notice that what they are referring to are U.S. troop casualties (we just learned that July 2009 was the deadliest month for U.S. forces in Afghanistan since [...]

Every once in a while, I have this strange craving to be philosophical and talk about really complicated issues. So readers beware, this installment may not be to your liking (unless you get a thrill from discussing civil rights for detainees.)

Upon being questioned by reporters about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr. (who has been a long-time friend of the President), Obama commented [...]

My fellow Americans: It is the best of times, it is the worst of times. Times that try men’s souls; therefore, ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country, because I have a dream! I’m not sure what magic words President Obama could use to turn [...]

Based on the wild popularity of my previous baseball article, my dear editor decided to give me another opportunity to write about our national pastime. Believe it or not, it is an exciting time for baseball, because tonight the city of St. Louis is playing host to Major League Baseball’s All-Star Game. There have been [...]

The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee released a revised health care reform bill today that includes both a public option and a significantly lower price tag: WASHINGTON — Democrats on a key Senate Committee outlined a revised and far less costly health care plan Wednesday night that includes a government-run insurance option [...]

Before you look to see if I have abdicated my column to a more liberal author, hold on. It’s still me, Jess Jones, that conservative nut job. During the years of President George W.
