The U.S. Senate passed its health care reform bill this morning. How did I learn this? I received e-mail blasts from a variety of sources. They flooded into my BlackBerry as I was getting ready for work.

Since last night's blog post on the Afghanistan surge, I have been using Twitter to post short items about the president's speech and the analysis that has followed. Here are some of those tweets:

Anyone who tells you he is absolutely certain about what to do in Afghanistan is a fool. Afghanistan is difficult. It has been difficult for decades, centuries even. There is no surefire way forward. Any course you take is a crapshoot.

So, with a few teams now regularly ranked in the Top 25, the Mountain West Conference has been chittering lately that it deserves more national respect for its football and basketball programs. But the conference won't get that recognition until all...

Where have you been, President Obama? It's clear after tonight's excellent speech to a joint session of Congress that your relative absence from the health care reform debate has been the primary problem in pushing a workable bill forward. We could...

Just watched President Obama's speech to students today, and I am shocked and outraged by his brazen attempt to indoctrinate our impressionable young Americans with his Red agenda. Here are just a few of the detestable comments the president...

I spent my first 11 years in Wisconsin and became a Packers fan at a very young age. It was the 1970s, when the Packers weren't very good, so it wasn't easy as a kid not to defect to John Madden's Raiders or Terry Bradshaw and the Steelers. But I...
