    Washington Politics Too Dull for National Media Coverage

    ​A couple weeks ago I wrote a tongue-in-cheek post about how Washington politicians are too boring. I say this tongue-in-cheek because if you're not boring, it means you're probably doing something crazy, like claiming Obama was really born in Kenya. (Boring = sane = probably good for the stat ...

    Senators Get Smart on Criminal Justice Just in Time for Kerlikowske's Confirmation Hearings
