Ted Kennedy was a gifted, complicated repository of human frailty, the good and the bad, the ugly and the pretty, that is politics in this country. I don’t recall that he ever offered himself as an example-and just as well-but he did summon us like no other to the give and forgiveness of redemption that [...]

On Thursday, he announced that he would personally prosecute internet criminals who preyed on children if he’s elected AG.

His over-hyped and under delivered speech reminded me of the moment when Hillary Clinton gave her Russian counterpart a red button that had “peregruzka” written on it. Unfortunately for Mrs. Clinton, “peregruzka” was the Russian word for “overload” or [...]
