Having spent a number of years in the media relations business, I’m familiar with the concept of releasing “bad news” on Friday. Yesterday, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano used that approach to share news about her decision to cancel the Secure Border Initiative (a.k.a., “electronic fence”) that was supposed to help safeguard the nation’s southern [...]

Barely two years after I shared news about Barack Obama saying he would take steps to effectively “bankrupt the coal industry,” it appears now-President Obama is using the EPA to help fulfill his promise.

Within days of the shooting rampage that left U.S. Rep. Gabrielle Giffords of Arizona’s 8th Congressional District in critical condition, killed six others and wounded 14 more, the usual suspects began coming out of the woodwork with calls to modify gun laws in the United States.
