Ret. Col. Says UFOs Are Real, but Denies Government Cover-Up
By Lee Speigel - AOL NewsWhether you believe or disbelieve the notion that UFOs are visitors from another planet, a former highly decorated military officer now comes forward with information that may infuriate those on both sides in the ongoing ET debate. Retired Col. John Alexander, using his military savvy and high security clearance, spent a quarter of a century going through the top levels of the U.S. government and military searching for the group of people who were allegedly responsible for UFO information and the supposedly decades-old UFO cover-up. His conclusions: Not only is there no such group and no ...
Judge Throws Out Health Care Law, Calls Individual Mandate Unconstitutional
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailyA federal judge in Florida voided the entirety of the nation's new health care law Monday, declaring that the Congress overstepped its constitutional authority last year when it mandated individual health insurance coverage by 2014. For the Obama administration, it was the second adverse ruling from the federal courts in just the past seven weeks and presaged a new round of legal appeals and political wrangling over the controversial health care initiative. In a 78-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson, a 1983 appointee of President Reagan from the Northern District of Florida, ...
25 Years After Disaster, Keeping the Challenger Spirit Alive

Ron Reagan Jr. Says Father May Have Had Alzheimer's While President
By Eleanor Clift - Politics DailyRon Reagan Jr. kept his silence all these years, letting sister Patti take the spotlight when it came to analyzing their parents. But now he's caught up with a book titled, "My Father at 100," timed to coincide with the centennial next month of President Reagan's birth. I covered the Reagan White House and reported on the First Family's strained relations with their adult children. Ron Jr. is candid about his conflicted relationship with his father, writing in an excerpt featured in Sunday's issue of Parade: "He was easy to love but hard to know. You couldn't help wondering sometimes whether ...
Dear Barack: Midterm Advice From Past Presidents
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailySo the relentless polls were correct and, if anything, underestimated the breadth and scope of the Republican gains Tuesday night. With a few exceptions, President Obama and his fellow Democrats got whipped -- but good -- in the midterms. The bad news for the White House is that it now must deal directly and on equal terms with House Republicans and their tea party backers. The president himself acknowledged his new political reality immediately. He called the soon-to-be House speaker, John Boehner, late Tuesday to talk about getting things done for the American people. The good news for the ...
Prop 8 Talking Points on Same-Sex Marriage for Your Next Dinner Party
By Andrew Cohen - Politics DailyIn the 10 days since U.S. District Judge Vaughn Walker issued his landmark same-sex marriage ruling in California, there has been an astonishing amount of public debate over the topic, his decision, the Constitution and the role of popular will as expressed in the law. Much of the debate has been interesting. A lot more of it has been downright silly or just plain cruel. In drawing out Americans for their views on marriage and equality, Judge Walker's gauntlet has unintentionally but embarrassingly exposed, from sea to shining sea, some fundamental misunderstandings about the law and power ...
