Jimmy Carter says those who oppose the president are racists. Nancy Pelosi says those who oppose the president are assassins.
CNN says they’re bad at math.
CNN Money has an article that initially appears to be about preparing for retirement. But it starts out trying to refute the notion that Social Security will soon be out of […]

This was supposed to be a piece questioning the motives of those who marched in Washington last weekend. At best, they have a selective memory; at worst, they are representative of days past when the police set the dogs on the children in Birmingham, state troopers beat the marchers on the Edmund Pettis bridge outside […]

“In the beginning” is a phrase that a lot of people have problems with; perhaps not with the words themselves but with how long ago it was.

“Democratic activists and European intellectuals are ecstatic about Barack Obama’s trip to Europe. Europeans see a man they hope will win the presidency (a recent poll found 72% of Germans backing Sen. Obama). U.S. Democratic activists see their nominee gaining the experience of a continent whose policies — more pacifist, statist and secular than America’s […]
