The Conversation Eric Holder Doesn't Really Want

July 19, 2013 - 6:00pm

Eric Holder dismissed America as a "nation of cowards" because we wouldn't, he argued, have a "national conversation" about race. It's a slander wrapped in a farce. We talk of race unremittingly. That's the farce. The slander is hydra-headed.

Racial Morality Play

July 8, 2013 - 6:00pm

There is nothing the cable channels love more than a good murder trial, especially if the violence is spiced with the irresistible seasoning of race. But you don't understand much about America if you don't know that only some racial recipes are newsworthy. If the victim is white and the killer is black, it's not interesting (unless the killer is a celebrity).

Gratitude

If I were the parent of a child who might be kept alive -- if only for a few more years -- by a lung transplant, I too would move heaven and earth to get it done.

How Obama Gets Us to Forget His Failure in Afghanistan

June 3, 2013 - 6:00pm

In the course of his rambling monologue on national security policy delivered at the National Defense University, President Obama gave only glancing attention to the most significant military undertaking of his term in office -- the Afghanistan war.

Breadwinner Moms

May 30, 2013 - 6:00pm

The headlines were misleading: "Moms are Breadwinners in Record 4 of 10 Households." Immediate thought: Wow, 40 percent of wives are primary breadwinners. Nope.

Obama and the Law

May 23, 2013 - 6:00pm

If you Google "George W. Bush shredding the Constitution," you will get many millions of hits.

Obama's Personal Diplomats?

May 21, 2013 - 6:00pm
