In this week’s episode fans explain why and how David mattered. This month – September 2020 – it is 50 years since The Partridge Family first aired on ABC in the United States; the night he entered our hearts and minds.

It’s wrong to say we don’t think of David – he has been such an important part of our lives for 50 years – and because we have always loved him for what he represented to us, the way he made us feel and how he unknowingly played an impo...

What Follows the Wave?
Republicans are basking in the glow of a coming Senate majority and electoral gains across the board, but the public's rejection of President Obama is a leading factor that gives the GOP a chance to prove it can lead over the next two years. Frank Donatelli was political director in the Reagan White House. He is now chairman of GOPAC, a Republican organization designed to train and elect Republicans at the state and local levels. Republicans picked up at least seven seats to claim the majority in the coming Congress. They may have nine new seats by the...

According to the latest Crystal Ball summary from the University of Virginia's Center for Politics, Democrats hold the ten Senate seats most likely to switch parties in 2014. Democrats currently hold 55 seats to the GOP's 45. Republicans need a net gain of six seats to wrest control from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and the Crystal...

MEMO TO THE "GOP", NO, THE SOUTH AIN'T GONNA RISE AGAIN!
Dragging their feet on (1) setting up insurance exchanges in their respective states even though such required funding is 95% guaranteed and supplied by the federal government and (2) snuffing out voter participation with artificial constraints designed only to stifle voting and (3) lastly rendering a women’s right to an abortion as nothing more than a mere abstract exercise will all, in combination, propel the 21st century GOP into utter oblivion in the face of the overwhelming changing demographics that are heavily weighted in favor of Democratic Party affiliation. The impetus for the Tea-Party phenomenon is for the most part fueled by the st...
