It's the Language, Stupid

If truth in labeling laws were applied to politics, the American left would have headed for the hills by now.  Once "liberal" became a dirty word, they looked back over a century for guidance on how to redefine themselves. Yesterday's liberal De...

Obama's Grand Illusion

The public's lasting, indeed rising, hostility to ObamaCare has come as a surprise to the President and his fellow travelers in Congress, but then omniscience has never been their strong suit.  In 1959, Charles Lindblom, then an associate profes...

The Judicial Branch Mess

Today's Federal court system has become an aging edifice that decades ago lost touch with those it was supposed to serve, and the taxpayers who fund it.  It is well-known that starting in the 1960s, Federal judges appointed themselves the arbite...
