RIP Christopher Hitchens. No, that's the wrong thing to say. Death is not rest, but a return to the state of non-existence preceding birth. While peace is assured, rest is not. Christopher Hitchens is dead.


Nancy Pelosi gets it right; if this is a "do-nothing" congress, it's because obstructionist Republicans continually prevent it from doing anything.


The SEC charges Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae execs with securities fraud. Newt's PR problem deepens.


Rep. Allen West continues to be a jackass.


Another "family values" Republican is forced to admit to being secretly gay.
