Perpetuating the false impression that small donors are Obama's base is a priority of the Obama campaign, which now focuses on running low cost ($5, $3) dinner raffles...

Last night, Ron Paul delivered a speech to over 4,000 people at Cornell's Lynah Rink. Naturally, I was part of the audience - it's not every day that a presidential candidate comes to Cornell and it's even rarer that I don't have any homework in...

Zimmerman bail hearing

Posted by William A. Jacobson on April 20, 2012 56 Comments

Here is George Zimmerman's testimony at the bail hearing this morning. I find it very curious as to why he took the stand at all, other than for publicity and to start reshaping his image for potential jurors. While the cross-examination was limited, you can see...
