I go up to New York City for work probably two to three times a year. Which sounds very cool and exotic and … citified. Growing up in Iowa, New York City was like Shangrai-la; a place that very few people went to and those that did, almost never came back. It was full [...]

The battle for America’s soul gets that much closer to resolution tonight. Finally, after six weeks of bitter, drunken, lesbian-ass-groping, religious bitchiness, Pennsylvanians get to decide on their candidate.
My prediction (based on no sure knowledge — just like a real pundit!) is that Hillary Clinton will win the percentage game but not by very [...]
