One of the most brilliant features of the United States Constitution is the three separated powers. The concept has endured and made this country as stable as it has been politically for 232 years. Yet at various times in our short history different powers have risen and fallen in terms of the power that they [...]
As I sit and fret as to the pennant race in the American League East is going to look like now that the Yankees have added 72 year old Ivan Rodriguez by way of the Tigers. Pudge saved his career by winning a World Series with the Florida Marlins, but am I just ignorant [...]
