Be honest. One of the most exciting things the National League had going for it the past few years was Barry Bonds. His pursuit of the home run record - and the steroid controversy that followed him everywhere - made for entertaining days and nights across America. With that gone, what does the National League have left?

By The Charlotte Observer, N.C.  Sep. 25--When the Bush administration reversed federal policy in 2005 and announced it was opening up to 58 million acres of pristine national forest lands to timbering, oil and gas exploration and mining, the public reaction was heartening.

It seems that this yearâs presidential race is not a debate about the future of our country, but a debate about each candidateâs past.

One of the problems with the American Presidency is that it tends to eclipse the entire rest of the government in the public eye. People often seem to almost view the Presidency as if it were the government, rather than just one component of many within the government. In particular, the Presidential election is the only one it is possible to get many people to care about. Voter turnout drops precipitously for those elections where the Presidency is not on the ballot; and on those years where it is, the media coverage for the elections of other offices is almost entirely drowned out in the obsessive coverage of the Presidential campaign. But these other elections are no less important, and in many cases are more so. Despite the neglect they receive these elections are just as critical to our democratic process. By ignoring these elections, our nation is closing its eyes to the bulk of that part of government that affects us on a day to day basis. So what I would like to do is open up the floor and ask: What's happening in the local, non-presidential elections in your area this November?What are the important races (Senators, ballot referendums, etc) and what has been happening in them? What is your perspective on these? Let us know. If your familiarity with local politics is less than complete, Project Vote Smart offers a great deal of information on American elections and is a good place to get started.

By The News & Observer, Raleigh, N.C.  Feb. 12--Maybe we ought to be thankful. Usually when legislators want to carelessly overrule one of the state's scientific commissions, they simply introduce a bill to get their way.
