Biden to Bush: You Deserve 'a Lot of Credit' for Supporting Troops
By Tom Diemer - Politics DailyVice President Joe Biden says former President George W. Bush deserves a "lot of credit" for the milestone marked in Iraq by the departure of U.S. combat troops. Biden, in an appearance Wednesday night on Comedy Central's "The Colbert Report," looked directly into the camera, as if speaking to Bush, and said: "I've never known a time when you didn't care about what happened.

By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyEvery five years or so, give or take, a female socio-multiculti-gender savant with shining credentials and a large reputation for Big Thought delivers a footnote-laden tract on the end of masculinity that reels off endless debate and buzz.

Fake News Fix and Writer's Strike Update
By Tommy Christopher - Politics DailyThe Writer's Guild of America strike rages on, but according to The Hollywood Reporter, the two sides have begun to have productive talks. Both sides sound optimistic about reaching an agreement, but stopped short of giving an E.T.A. The studios proposed a flat $250.00 a year payment per year on streamed content, while the writers, understandably, want their compensation tied to the studios' ad revenue. The talks were scheduled to resume today in an "undisclosed location." Even with the end sort of in sight, If you're anything like me, you're by now snarled in the throes of Daily Show and ...
