Opinion: Getting Clear on Rep. King's Muslim Hearings
By not in system - AOL NewsRep. Peter King's congressional hearings Thursday on the radicalization of American Muslims reminds me of the TV commercial, "There's clear, then there's Claritin clear." My eyes are not itchy and my nose isn't running, but my mind is foggy about the true goals and objectives of these hearings. This is what I mean. The Muslim in me would like to know the "Claritin clear" intent behind these hearings. Is it to demonize Islam as a faith? Is it to broad brush all Muslims in America?

Roger Clemens Denies Charges on Twitter; Twitter Responds
By Carl Franzen - AOL News(Aug. 19) -- How the mighty have fallen, only to be picked up by their Twitter followers.

It was unclear what was happening. CNN reported he appeared to be "convulsing" but a congressional aide said that was not the case. Moments later, Petraeus walked out of the hearing room on his own. ...
Leading Pundit on Gay Rights Sits In on Hearing
By Andrea Stone - AOL NewsWASHINGTON (Feb. 2) – It isn't every day that the nation's top military leaders testify to Congress in favor of allowing gays to serve openly in the ranks. And so, like countless other celebrities who have made their way up Capitol Hill for a cause, the eponymous host of MSNBC's "The Rachel Maddow Show" was on hand Tuesday for what she called "great theater," Washington style. Amid retired generals, ousted gay soldiers and the Army linguist Dan Choi, who outed himself on her show, Maddow sat with the other media recording for posterity the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. ...
Congressman: College football's BCS "like communism."
By Patricia Murphy - Politics DailyMembers of the House of Representatives took time away from the swine flu pandemic to tackle their top issue of the day- college football's Bowl Championship Series. The House Subcommittee on Commerce, Trade and Consumer Protection brought the commissioners of the ACC and Mountain West Conference, as well as the CEO of the Alamo Bowl and athletic director from Boise State University, to Capitol Hill to discuss whether it is "a false and deceptive practice" to call any college football team "national champions" without a fair and equitable playoff system in place. The bi-partisan preference ...
