Isn’t That Nice? by Michael Reagan President Obama wants his dear friend Vlad the Russian not to worry about the details of how the American missile defense system in Europe will be designed and implemented. Once he gets re-elected, the president said, he’ll have more “flexibility” to deal with Moscow’s concern that the missile system, which is intended to guard Europe from attack by rogue nations like Iran, is a threat to Russia’s strategic security. Obama...

Home Alone: The Trend, Not The Movie by Danny Tyree Paradox of the week: if you live alone, you’re not alone. According to “Going Solo: The Extraordinary And Surprising Appeal of Living Alone,” by Eric Klineberg, PhD, more than 50 percent of American adults are single (up from 22 percent in 1950), and one in seven adults lives alone. Granted, the statistics are muddied by the fact that some survey respondents think they’re living alone when they’re really not. Take...

Purpose Driven Lies and Gender Equality by Tina Dupuy What does a government bureaucrat being between you and your doctor look like? That was the go-to canard to scare Americans away from the health care reform bill (or single payer for that matter). So, imagine your doctor deciding he or she doesn’t want you to get a procedure.

Rick McKee, The Augusta Chronicle Irish Humor to Prime the Pump by Tom Purcell Ah, the St. Patrick’s season is upon us. Good thing, for we’re in dire need of some Irish levity about now. It’s been more than three years since the crash of 2008, yet the economy still stumbles and Americans are eager for any sign of life. It reminds me of the three Irishmen discussing their funerals: “I hope the mourners at my wake say, ‘He was a wonderful family man,’” said...

Saving California by Michael Reagan In less than 50 years they ruined my home state. They over-taxed it, over-regulated it and bankrupted it. They strangled its vibrant economy, destroyed its education system and let its infrastructure crumble. Who are these people who’ve turned the Golden State into Greece? Not Big Business. Not the rich. Not the poor. Not millions of immigrants from Des Moines or Juarez. “They” are the career politicians in Sacramento. Their excessive lawmaking,...
