Barry and Me: Inside a $1,000-a-pop fundraisernew
“Hi, Jeff. Thank you for coming.” There, vigorously shaking my hand, is the next leader of the free world. Or the next guy we’ll get all excited about, and then be let down.
“You’re welcome, Senator.”
Maybe if Barack Hussein Obama knew I was the only person here who didn’t pay $1,000 (or more) for this company, he would have skipped me altogether. But as far as he knows, I’m just like the rest of the 100 or so people gathered in the Maitland living room of supporter Bob Mandell for this June 30 fundraiser.

Judge Seidlin Heads Off to La-la Landnew
Other than drag the country though a needless and absurd Anna Nicole hearing/screen test, what did Seidlin do? For starters, he allegedly had time to wrangle gifts out of at least one lawyer working in his division and a small fortune from an elderly woman living in his condo building.

Going Fissionnew
As the government continues to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to subsidize nuclear power with all its drawbacks, it sets aside only a pittance for research into and development of truly renewable energy sources -- perhaps that's because our national power policy is to sustain only the coal, oil, gas and nuclear energy providers.
