I saw the following story this morning on the news, and was pretty surprised by it: One-Fourth of Overseas Votes Go Uncounted, Study Finds. Some of you may recall that John McCain asked for an extension to count votes in VA for absentee ballots requested by military personnel that [...]

It was everything you would expect from the first round of a March Madness Tournament. Upsets, buzzer beaters, overtime and blowouts. Hard fouls, sharp elbows, long distance bombs and Larry Craig’s legendary wide stance. The battle for the No Quarter Trophy is underway. One National Champion will be named. The [...]

It’s that time of year. If you are one of the lucky Americans still working in an office atmosphere, you probably have been inundated with bracket contests tied to the NCAA Tournament. I love the tournament and watch those [...]

A great American and loyal reader (thanks FL) shared a report recently produced by not-for-profits Essential Information and The Consumer Education Foundation.
