Adventures in getting the PBS NewHour to live up to its standards, up the food chain to Jim Lehrer. More

Michele Bachmann's statements are perfectly defensible. You have to have a great deal of inside information about the gay and lesbian community to read what she has said correctly. I'll do my best to offer an alternative reading. More

A behemoth arm of the federal government so enraptured by ecological fantasy that neighborhoods in towns that predated the dams themselves now lie beneath the surface of the water, victims of a river "reconnected to its floodplain." More

All of our economic woes, more or less, have come from defiance of what Rudyard Kipling called the Gods of the Copybook Headings. More

Lately it seems the only thing more sobering than America's creeping decline is Europe's rapid decline. The riots in London put a painfully fine point on the dark future that awaits us. More

Media elites are numb to the feelings of shame, guilt, and awkwardness that have accompanied their endless attempts to molest the Palin family, but they are not yet accustomed to the sting of damaged pride. More

America's credit rating isn't the only thing Barack Obama has downgraded. The White House, the Constitution, human life, foreign policy and race relations -- and America herself have suffered downgrades. More

Arizona State Senator Russell Pearce (R) is not yet a household name. Most Americans are unaware that he is one of the leaders fighting to have states enforce the rule of law regarding illegal immigrants. More

It now seems possible that a cascade of conflict will wash over the entire world as it did some seven decades ago. More

We have arrived at a peculiar moment in the annals of racial sensitivity, in which thoughtless videotaped rudeness evidently is a bigger concern than actual violence. A recent set of events demonstrates this. More

It may be hard to keep track of with the round-the-clock news cycle, but the continuing injustice of waivers to the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act deserves careful scrutiny by the American citizenry. More

Keynesian economics is a fraud. It has neither theoretical coherence nor empirical support. It was adopted out of desperation in the 1930s. More

Kipling (the poet laureate of the British Empire) knew all about violent death in Afghanistan. He was a clear-eyed chronicler of Britain's imperial wars of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. More

Barack Obama is no alpha male with a commanding physical presence, who is secure in his manliness and supremely confident in himself. Barack Obama is the beta male priss. More

Perhaps the administration thinks it can create anger at S&P, and it can get flash mobs or its allied union goons to come to New York State and threaten S&P executives in their homes. More

On August 4, 2011, the opening night of the Wisconsin State Fair, the worst race riot in Wisconsin history occurred. More

It is high time to judge macroeconomics -- the pseudo-economics of "aggregates" -- as a disaster. We must challenge both the premises of the macroeconomists and their "policy" alternatives. More

The tiresome class warfare analogies share common attributes to other human prejudices: They are filled with stereotypes, play to the lowest human qualities and are equally intellectually vacuous. More

As the months go by without resumption of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, it's fair to ask who has been the greatest obstacle to get things back on track. More
