Who-will-play-Hillary question offers a convenient distraction from real issues

Regretfully, Washington as usual

On Obamacare, sequester and taxes: predictions revisited

Some advice for the Republican Party: Chill

Washington mourns loss of tea party queen
Say it ain't so. There has never been a sadder day in American politics. Political reporters are still in shock over Michele Bachmann's sudden announcement that she will not seek re-election to Congress. How dare she just up and walk away?
