I’ve written a few times about plastic bags—and about bringing your own cloth bag with you when you shop instead.

But I, like many other people, used those store bags for garbage.

What to do?

Here’s one solution—bags made from corn instead of polyethylene. GMO free corn no less. They are supposed to be 100 percent biodegradable.

I haven’t [...]

Peggy Noonan says her “It’s over” comment did not refer to John McCain’s campaign. The truncated version of the conversation that appeared on the Internet took the comment out of context, she said.

Here’s the video on YouTube. Decide for yourself.

New emails surface that show Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin intensely interested in the fate of her former brother-in-law.

Here in the Washington Post.

Cindy McCain has just said on PBS that she is insulted by questions about whether Sarah Palin, as the mother of an infant with Down syndrome, should be running for vice president.

Good for her.

Women fought for too long to balance work and family for anyone to fall into that trap. It’s Palin’s decision, not [...]

Republican consultant Mike Murphy and Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan were caught on a live mike today disparaging Sarah Palin. They had just completed a segment with NBC’s Chuck Todd.

Murphy starts off by saying he comes out of the world of blue swing-state governors such as Christie Todd Whitman, Tommy Thompson, Mitt Romney and [...]

Sarah Palin is a conservative Protestant and on Saturday I wrote that she is apparently a member of the Assemblies of the God but that little had been written about her religion.

What are the Democrats thinking? Will Barack Obama give his speech tonight in a toga (or the Greek equivalent)?

The Democrats have erected some sort of colonnaded stage at Denver’s mile-high Invesco Field that looks like a Greek temple—or the White House portico.

Republicans of course have pounced. They’re mocking the backdrop. “Temple of Obama,” the Republican [...]

I don’t know what Hillary Clinton really thinks of Barack Obama. I don’t know whether she still wants to run for president should he lose.

But last night she gave a good speech, and it’s hard to imagine her supporters not taking her advice.
Even if some are still resisting.

Key lines —

“I want you to ask yourselves: [...]

I often drive down Lexington Avenue from the Third Avenue bridge into Manhattan and past the El Barrio Democratic Club.

All summer the door was open and a Hillary sign clearly visible on the back of the front door. When she suspended her campaign, it came down.

A lot has been written about the lack of enthusiasm [...]
