Newsroom - Washington, DC — For decades, Washington has talked about fixing a broken health care system. And for decades Washington failed to act – allowing the special interests to stall reform while the cracks in the system turned into crevices, then craters. Full Story Top Op-Ed: Dems’ health plan will increase costs for families, small businesses Mon, 20 Jul 2009 12:40 am PDT The Yahoo! Newsroom - Rep.

Full Story Top Op-Ed: Health care status quo would be disaster for middle class Mon, 27 Jul 2009 08:21 am PDT The Yahoo! Newsroom - Washington, DC — How’s this for a health care plan? It will make your premiums go up—in fact, it will double health costs over the next ten years. It will strip millions of Americans of their coverage. It will send our deficit through the roof. Full Story Top India-Pakistan rapprochement? Terrorists, beware. Fri, 17 Jul 2009 02:00 am PDT The Christian Science Monitor - This week's sit-down between the prime ministers of Pakistan and India may not have removed mountains of suspicion and hostility between these two rivals, but their meeting may have leveled a few foothills. Full Story Top How to boost gas mileage and get better cars Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:00 am PDT The Christian Science Monitor - Earlier this month "we the people" bought GM. As a part of the company's new majority ownership, a few of us would like to suggest a way to speed the return of our automaker to global competitiveness: a carrot policy that incentivizes and enables struggling American automakers to produce radically efficient cars. Full Story Top What the Hell is Max Baucus Thinking !?! Tue, 28 Jul 2009 07:14 am PDT The Nation - The Nation -- The following comes from a reader and frequent correspondent. This is not someone with particularly progressive politics. In fact, he only very recently has come to identify as a Democrat. No radical lefty, he. Full Story Top Hillary and the Health Care Debate Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:00 pm PDT RealClearPolitics.com - President Obama's recent full-court press on health care began with an event in the Rose Garden last Wednesday featuring nurses. Full Story Top Obama Allows US to See Color Sun, 26 Jul 2009 10:00 pm PDT RealClearPolitics.com - Barack Obama did not herald in a "post-racial America." In fact, the trope betrayed how we confine race to superficial terms. It's the same reason Stephen Colbert has made a standing joke of not being able to "see color." Color is with us. And we cannot get past race by not directly looking at it. Full Story Top Should Obama sign a peace treaty with North Korea? Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:00 am PDT The Christian Science Monitor - A rare opportunity has emerged for the United States and North Korea to directly engage in diplomatic dialogue.

Full Story Top A carbon protection racket Mon, 27 Jul 2009 02:00 am PDT The Christian Science Monitor - If your neighbors were making a terrible racket, would you offer to pay them to stop? Full Story Top LAST WEEK'S RACIAL INCIDENT OFFERS US A 'TEACHABLE MOMENT' Tue, 28 Jul 2009 02:54 pm PDT Georgie Anne Geyer - WASHINGTON -- Just about everyone in the country seems to be kicking around the lessons supposedly surrounding "the" confrontation of the first half year of Barack Obama's term. Full Story Top Know-Nothing-in-Chief Tue, 28 Jul 2009 08:11 am PDT The Weekly Standard - Is President Obama an economic illiterate? Harsh as that sounds, there's growing evidence he understands little about economics and even less about economic growth or job creation. Yet, as we saw at last week's presidential press conference, he's undeterred from holding forth, with seeming confidence, on economic issues. Full Story Top Sgt. Crowley, a Cop in Full Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:00 am PDT Pat Buchanan - Sunday, professor Louis Henry Gates retreated from his threat to sue Sgt. James Crowley. Friday, President Obama retreated from his charge that the Cambridge cops "acted stupidly." Full Story Top Mr. Oblivious to Evidence Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:00 am PDT Mona Charen - The last moments of President Obama's press conference last week have gotten the most attention, and some of the president's supporters have wondered whether his big-footed interference in the Cambridge professor's melodrama has overshadowed Obama's push for health care reform. Full Story Top THINGS NOT DONE, ROADS NOT TAKEN Sat, 25 Jul 2009 04:57 pm PDT David Shribman - FRANCONIA, N.H. -- We were going to climb Mount Pemigewasset, which juts out from the cliffs that form Indian Head and has a remarkable panorama of White Mountain summits at the top.

It began with a description of me doing push-ups and collapsing because of a terrific pain in my shoulder. Pinched nerve, it turned out to be, between my fourth and fifth vertebrae. Then came back problems, loose teeth ... whatever. Full Story Top Help Wanted. Not. Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:00 am PDT Susan Estrich - I got my first job when I was 15. Before that, I baby-sat, did piece work for a leather company that didn't care how old you were and worked at a dusty day camp. Full Story Top No Cash For "Bruno" Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:00 am PDT Brent Bozell III - When it comes to awful movies, Pat Buchanan once quipped he didn't have to look underneath a manhole cover to know there's a sewer down below. The smutty new movie "Bruno" can be read by its cover. In the midst of a barrage of crude sexual humor, master satirist Sacha Baron Cohen is once again exposing Americans for what Time magazine calls their "ignorance and prejudice, hypocrisy and primitive rage." Full Story Top Gatesgate Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:00 am PDT Mona Charen - There were so many examples of presidential mendacity on view Wednesday night that I had planned to itemize a few in this column. Full Story Top Ghoulish Science Plus Obamacare Equals Health Hazard Fri, 24 Jul 2009 12:00 am PDT Michelle Malkin - Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius tried to reassure citizens in New Orleans this week that Obamacare bureaucrats will make sound medical decisions for all Americans.
