Right-wing politicians and voters have a home and can get a daily fix of conservative propaganda. But liberals in this country have long wanted the...

(Harrison Ford, now firmly on my A-ho list, recently had his publicist clarify that he does not support President Bush. Although he should have left it there, he didn't. The publicist that that Ford is for regime change -- both in Baghdad and Washington. Here are the words of his character in AIR FORCE ONE.
