The Tea Party was all bark and no bite when it came winning the seats they were after. True or False? Four billion dollars was spent on elections this year. True or False?

ONLY 733 DAYS UNTIL ELECTION 2012!!!! – What, too soon?
Despite the fact that your “I voted” sticker is still attached to your coat, strategists, pundits, politicians, analysts and the like are already focused on the next election. What will the results of last night’s races mean for the next push for the presidency? Will it be Palin or Pawlenty, perhaps even Petraeus or Pence heading the ticket for the Republican Party? Will Democrats be able to quilt a cohesive message highlighting their strengths before facing an up hill battle on Capitol Hill? Now that the votes have been cast we cast a light on what is next.

Jack hurts more than crack: is alcohol more damaging than crack cocaine?
Shocking but apparently true, according to a new study conducted by a panel of health experts at the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs. The study compared a number of factors including psychological and social problems associated with various forms of drug use and determined that alcohol produced the most damaging effects on the individual and society overall. The study begs the question, why is alcohol legal while more benign drugs like marijuana are not? One of the lead researchers noted, “This reflects a societal approach which does not adequately balance the relative risks of drugs against their harms.” The same researcher said riding a horse was more dangerous than the drug ecstasy (he later apologized for the statement). So, would we be better off dropping E instead of slamming shots?

Change in the churches—the female head of the American Episcopal Church
In 2006, amid much fanfare and controversy, Katharine Jefferts Schori became the first woman elected as head of the American Episcopal Church. Since her rise as the Presiding Bishop, charged with speaking God’s word to the Church and to the world, more pressing social justice issues of poverty and hunger, intensified by a ruthless recession, have eclipsed almost all controversy over her gender. During her first years as Bishop the denomination ordained its first openly gay bishop, a diocese seceded in response to his ordination; and domestic poverty surged. To many Anglican leaders, Jefferts Schori represents all that is wrong with the Episcopal church in
