Next education commissioner will tell us a lot about Florida's commitment to reform

Let's help the Magic attract more fans
How long is this NBA season? Really? That long? Oh boy. It's not even December but, despite Friday's win in Detroit, it may already be a time when the Orlando Magic could use our help. No, not on the court (unless you are 6-10 and have a decent 18-...

The lunatic fringe strengthens its grip on the GOP's soul
It probably is safe to say the email letter of congratulations to certain journalists at The Morning Call was not sincere. Copies of the letter, applauding the success of newspaper people's evil left-wing schemes, were sent to fellow columnist Bill White...

Whole lot of blaming going on
WASHINGTON -- And now begins the quadrennial exercise of coming to terms with the loss of a presidency. For the second time in a row, Republicans are the grieving party proceeding through the five stages. Denial. "I think this is premature," Karl Rove...

The way forward is not to retreat on the core message
WASHINGTON - They lose and immediately the chorus begins. Republicans must change or die. A rump party of white America, it must adapt to evolving demographics or forever be the minority. The only part of this that is even partially true regards...

Is it really safe? Are they truly gone?
I think it's finally safe. You can breathe again. Go outside. Put fresh food in the fridge. Even turn on the TV. Walk around the house in your underwear if you want. It's safe. Everybody's gone. Finally. For a long time — a very long time —...Tags: Politics, Hurricane Sandy (2012), Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, Planned Parenthood

Obama won, but did he get a mandate?
Americans can breathe a sigh of relief. No more "I'm Barack Obama, and I approve this message." No more robocalls by celebrities asking for your support. No more back-to-back TV commercials telling lies. It's over. And after weeks of speculation about...

Civility in political discourse
As I write this column, it is election day. While most election days leave me excited to find out the result, excited to vote and happy to live in such a free nation, this election will leave me with excitement it is over and depression on where we...Tags: Politics, Religion and Belief, Philosophy, Executive Branch, Government

Isn't it time for a TV show about a South Side political dynasty?
Now that the elections are over, what's good on TV? There are many fine and steamy political dramas set in Chicago. "The Good Wife" and "Boss" are two of my favorites. Yet these shows, like so many others, revolve around white characters. If the national...Tags: Larenz Tate, Politics, Anil Kapoor, Celebrities, Idris Elba

Maryland surprises in gay marriage and Dream Act support
Maryland's vote for same-sex marriage and the Dream Act runs counter to history, political science and human nature — a majority of citizens upholding laws that benefit distinct minorities. I think a little more attention must be paid to this. I...

Obama needs to start sweating the small stuff
President Barack Obama likes doing the big things. This is, after all, the man who claimed that his victorious 2008 campaign was "the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal." He was roundly (and rightly) derided...Tags: Politics, Eric Shinseki, Tea Party Movement, Chuck Hagel, Internal Revenue Service
