Barack Obama is gunning for a national landslide. He now leads in four states won by President Bush in 2004 and is essentially tied with John McCain in two other Republican red states, according to new AP-GfK battleground polling.
Times sure have changed.

America killed 7 Syrian civilians Sunday.
I guess everyone has heard about the recent US incursion into Syria.
The whole thing makes me very sad, especially when I think about the children who were killed in the name of the "war on terror."
To me, that's just as sad as...

OK, here I go. Getting on my soapbox for just a few moments.
It's time to get out and VOTE! I don't usually tell folks what to do, but when it comes to exercising our rights I get a little vocal.

On Friday, my housemates and I all fled home in the middle of the night.
The conditions under our landlord were becoming unbearable, and the final straw was when he hit my French housemate on Friday evening.
We had already talked about leaving because we’d figured out he was spying on us...

In the midst of our recent financial debacle I’ve heard many give their opinion as to what to do to get us out. I heard an economist make mention of “mark-to-market” accounting rules, which I’d never heard of – and being “accounting...

On Thursday night, I brought two of my housemates to a Julia Butros concert at the Damascus Citadel.
All of the tickets were sold out, but I was told that if we hung out in front of the entrance we could buy tickets from scalpers.
When we got there, we found that no one was willing to sell...

Start the week when the former Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces and Republican Secretary of State Collin Powell endorses Obama.
Then the RNC gets caught spending $150,000 at Nieman Marcus and Saks Fifth Avenue instead of Cabellas for its small town Caribou Barbie. Oooh and $30,000 for hair...

I pride myself on being fairly organized, but for some reason my brain has deserted me and I’m not sure when it will return. I suspect other parents of small children share in my dilemma from time to time. It all started the first week of school. See Diary...

Lately I have been trying to take advantage of the hunting season, and have been out enjoying the mountains and looking for a buck to put in the freezer. This year my thoughts keep going back to the up coming election and how much the choice we make is going to effect our future. It seems that...

I am a journalist living in Syria, but I have neither press accreditation nor residency.
Where do I begin?
When I first got here just over three months ago, I immediately registered at the Ministry of Information -- just as I'd promised I would when I applied for my visa.
There, they...

Recently I was standing in the office listening to the gals talk about Twilight. “What book is this? By whom?” I asked. They all looked at me like I had just turned orange with green polka dots. “What other book is there - Twilight, by Stephanie Meyers, of...

Colin Powell said he was "troubled" by some Republicans' comments that Obama, a Christian, is a Muslim. Beyond the smears, Powell said, is the real question: if Obama were a Muslim, why would there be a problem?
"Is there something wrong with some 7-year-old Muslim-American kid...
