CONGRESS—THEY’LL BE BACK

“Those in Congress are likely to be re-elected”, Ellis Henican Column, Newsday, October 13, 2013 We can do something about this, you know. But we  won’t. Almost certainly we won’t — not if history is any guide. You saw the latest Associated Press/GfK poll. Congress’ approval rating has slid into the deer-ticks-and-poison-ivy zone.

SHUTDOWN’S SAME OLD WAR OF WORDS

“Warring GOP, Dems have worn out their clichés”, Ellis Henican Column, Newsday, October 6, 2013 Partisanship? Check. Intransigence? Check. Bad blood?

ALREADY MISSING MAYOR MIKE?

  “NYC mayoral race to get its first haircut”, Ellis Henican Column, Newsday, September 8, 2013 Let the Bloomberg nostalgia begin! You know it’s coming, right?

SEEKING ALLIES ON BOTH SIDES OF POND

 “U.S. seeks allies on Syria, finds mistrust”, Ellis Henican Column, Newsday, September 1, 2013 So Britain’s taking a pass on Syria. Nice to have allies, huh? Now it’s up to a fractured Congress to strengthen the president’s hand. With friends like these, in London and Washington, who needs frenemies? It’s the Coalition of Let Me Get Back…
