My interests include the Knights Templar, smart humor, the continuous search for the Holy Grail, the history of Freemasonry, and all the unsolved mysteries the world over. -- I'm a freelance writer currently working on a number of projects, including a novel that follows the search for the lost Templar treasure. You can read more at: http://www.EternalHorizons.com -- There's also a screenplay in the works (my seventh), about how political pollsters drive the big national campaigns. It's title indicates the inaccuracy inherent in the system: "Margin of Error" (and yes, it's a comedy). The synopsis will be online soon. -- And if you're looking for an online blogger, one whose writing combines equal measures searing insight and hard journalism, and Keith Olberman's just a little out of your price range, why not shoot me an email?

Politics – Shepard Smith 'fesses up: I reported at the top of this hour that the campaign had told us at Fox News that the audience would be made up of Republicans, Democrats, and independents. We have now received a clarification from the campaign and I feel I should pass it along to you. The McCain campaign distributed tickets to supporters, Mayor Bloomber

Politics – Despite a vow to focus on issues, the Republican Party plans to use Barack Obama's relationships with controversial figures to undermine the public's view of his character.

Politics – A government without limits is an arbitrary one, and an arbitrary government is nothing less than a despotic one. Without limits on power, government will always abuse rights. Power is always liable to abuse. Thus, the reason for the 10th Amendment.

Politics – When Democrats in Congress pitched the idea of extending unemployment benefits for thousands of Americans this week, they found enough support among Republicans to hint at a bipartisan solution. But it's unlikely that the benefits extension will become law, particularly since President Bush is threatening to veto the bill.

Politics – Why do so many Americans know almost nothing of the policies elections are supposedly about, but so much about the soap opera details of dirt that can be heaped on opponents? It is because the individual benefits from being informed about embarrassing details that denigrate rivals often far outweigh those from becoming better informed about policie

Politics – Economists of various ideological persuasions, however, view Mr. McCain's assessment as inaccurate or exaggerated.

Politics – Mr. McCain may have first become aware of Davis Manafort's activities in Ukraine as far back as 2005. At that time, a staff member at the National Security Council called Mr. McCain's Senate office to complain that Mr. Davis's lobbying firm was undercutting American foreign policy in Ukraine

Politics – If people are lamenting over gas prices approaching five dollars, I guarantee you that they will top off $10.00 at the pump and more than $200 a barrel within hours of an attack. The US can't afford to attack Iran and Ahmadinejad knows this. That's why he has a grin on his face.
