Opinion: 6 Unexpected Arizona Shooting Commentaries
By John Merline - AOL NewsAs night follows day, the terrible tragedy in Arizona that involved the near fatal shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., unleashed a flood of partisan attacks. Many on the left quickly tried to use the Tucson massacre -- which left six dead -- as an opportunity to attack heated political rhetoric on the right. Those on the right countered that no connection had been made between conservative talk and the actions of the accused shooter, Jared Loughner, adding that the left has hardly been blameless when it comes to violent political imagery. (Conservative blogger Michelle Malkin ...
Our Year of Zombie Politics
By James Grady - Politics DailyWait: Even in politics, 2010 was the year of zombies? Sure, the hot new wonky tome "Zombie Economics" tells how "dead" economic theories walk among us to shape our paychecks, and sure, zombies lumber out of our TVs almost no matter what channel we click to, and sure, my fellow fantasy prose-slingers are flinging new novels about the undead at the dust of Stephen King and George Romero, but zombies as a metaphor for 2010's politics? Come on! What happened to vampires? Vampires are a great political metaphor! Bloodsuckers. Say no more. But zombies? Who are they in America's 2010 ...

By James Grady - Politics DailyHey, 2010: We've made it this far, and that deserves a lot of thanksgiving. Politics is part of how we got here. Part of the good. Part of the bad. Part of our American dream. Part of politics we can be thankful for now is the SHUT UP factor. Listen to your lives. Do you hear it? Maybe not the sounds of silence, because the shouting never stops in modern America. But now the volume of political shouting is dialed-down because our latest electoral brawl is over -- except for random re-counts, court challenges, simple twists of fate and Congress's "lame duck" soup. Now, driving home ...
Who Deserves Credit for GM's Revival?
By not in system - AOL News(Nov. 17) -- Punctuating an astonishing turnaround, General Motors will offer its stock to the public Thursday in what could be the biggest IPO in U.S. history. As investors line up to place their bets, it's striking to think that just 16 months ago the automaker was on its deathbed. With that in mind, who deserves credit for GM's revival? Business writers wrestle it out: It's an Amazing Turnaround Story, writes Halah Touryalai at Forbes: GM stock has become such a hot item that underwriters stopped taking orders for the IPO yesterday, which was more than seven times oversubscribed, ...

Women in New Media: At the Top or in the Trenches?
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyHere's good news! A quick tour of new and improved news-and-infotainment websites -- dozens of them -- reveals that women by the droves are successfully making the leap from old journalism to new media. Just the other day, as if to underscore this trend, a Business Insider article featured 25 media stars that have made that leap, and 13 of them -- 52 percent -- are women. Maybe that's not such a big number, but it looms large next to the pitiful number of women (six) named by the National Law Journal among the 40 most influential lawyers of the decade. Worse, the investor George Soros, the ...
