More bad news for Democrats as a new poll shows that voters are more likely to consider them extreme than Republicans.

Are we facing a Sharia take-over?

Even with some key seats trending Democrat, Republicans are primed to take over both Houses of Congress come November 2.

Under pressure from the Feds, the NCAA is cracking down on colleges who put women’s games ahead of men’s games, which some say relegates them to “warm-up act” status.

Lenders and Borrowers seem poised to make the same mistakes that brought about the last Housing Bubble all over again.

PBR is going upscale for the Chinese market.

Barack Obama may not be doing much campaigning in the fall if recent poll numbers are any indication.

Markos Moulitsas gets a lesson in caveat emptor from his former pollster.
