 Political StatisticsThomas Sowell: When someone gives you a check and the bank informs you that there are insufficient funds, who do you get mad at? In your own life, you get mad at the guy who gave you a check that bounced, not at the bank. But, in politics, you get mad at whoever tells you that there is no money. ... more  Justice Deserves Better Than HolderJohn Ransom: Attorney General Eric Holder announced that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the confessed mastermind of the 9-11 attacks, will finally face a military tribunal under rules set up by the Bush administration. Holder, who has opposed using a military tribunal for the trial, made the announcement with the kind of wild partisanship that we've come to expect from the top justice official. ... more  Jihadis Who Killed Americans Get U.S. Support in LibyaByron York: There's no question that the rebels Americans are currently fighting for in Libya include in their ranks jihadis who in recent years traveled to Iraq and Afghanistan to kill Americans.

Paul Ryan when he says we only have a few years left to get our fiscal house in order, or we're going to face European-type austerity? ... more  Grant's Cure for Inflation: Restore dollar-gold convertibilityLarry Kudlow: I recently had the pleasure of speaking with James Grant, the founder of Grant's Interest Rate Observer. He called the bubble in the 2000s. Right now he's worried about a big jump in inflation. He thinks interest rates are totally unprepared for it. His solution? Restore dollar and gold convertibility. ... more  Bureaucrats vs. EntrepreneursJohn C. Goodman: I used to think the biggest obstacle to getting agreement about health care reform was ideology (socialism vs. capitalism). Then I decided it was sociology (engineers vs. economists). I now am inclined to believe it is psychology (bureaucrats vs. entrepreneurs). ... more    Why God Isn't Doing Well These Days Dennis Prager: God is not doing very well these days. Here are four reasons. ... more  View of U.S. Shapes Lib/Con Divide Michael Medved: An indignant Democrat of my acquaintance accuses conservatives of hypocrisy when they criticize President Obama for acting with caution and restraint in response to crisis. He accurately points out that caution and restraint represent core conservative virtues, and that most leaders on the right ripped the president during his first two years for pushing too fast for transformational change. ... more  Who Are We Fighting For? Pat Buchanan: On March 20, Pastor Terry Jones, who heads a congregation of 30 at his Dove World Outreach Center church in Gainesville, Fla., conducted a mock trial of the Quran "for crimes against humanity." ... more  Goldstone: You Cannot Undo a Slander Mona Charen: Richard Goldstone, the formerly respected South African jurist who disgraced himself by lending his name to a sinister and libelous U.N. report condemning Israel for war crimes, has now issued a very public retraction. ... more  Cornered By Obama Michael Gerson: If there were any doubts about the political skills of the new White House team under Chief of Staff William Daley, they have now been satisfied. ... more  10 Questions for 9/11 Truthers John Hawkins: You can't reason someone out of something that he didn't get into by using reason in the first place. That's why it's so difficult to refute conspiracy theories with logic. Take the 9/11 Truthers conspiracy. ... more  Immelt, the Jobs Czar from Hell Debra J. Saunders: The New York Times reported last month that General Electric earned $14.2 billion in international profits, including, $5.1 billion in the United States. Yet GE did not pay a dime in federal income taxes last year. ... more  Will Any of These Jokes Cheer You Up? Marvin Olasky: A doctor tells a patient that she has three months to live. She asks, "Is there anything I can do?" He replies, "Yes, marry a tax accountant." She is surprised: "How will that cure me?" The doctor says, "It won't, but it will make those three months seem like an eternity." ... more  Let's Reform Welfare for the Sake of the Poor Hadley Heath: Members of both parties claim credit for popular reforms to the welfare system in the mid-1990's. President Clinton often lists the 1996 law as among his tenure's crowning achievements; Republican Congressional leaders from the era remind the public that it was their party that pushed reform legislation, which the President reluctantly signed after several vetoes. ... more  Democratic Demagoguery on the Budget Bill Murchison: One reason Democratic policies have made America such a worry-free land these last couple of years is the uniqueness of Democratic gifts and abilities. For instance, did you know Democratic spokesmen can see into the future? ... more  Culture Challenge of the Week: Misogynist Video Games Rebecca Hagelin: Karen's nine-year-old son came home from a birthday party at a locally owned "family fun" center with plenty to tell.

I didn't like it." ... more  Second Thoughts, from Goldstone to the 'Arab Spring' Frank Gaffney: At the very least, the author of an oped published in the Washington Post last Friday - former South African Supreme Court Justice Richard Goldstone - sure looked foolish as he all but acknowledged being incredibly naïve and irresponsible when he authored a harshly critical report for the United Nations Human Rights Council after Israel's 2008-2009 war with Hamas in Gaza. ... more  Richard Goldstone and Palestinian Statehood Caroline Glick: Richard Goldstone's repudiation of the eponymous blood libel he authored last year provides a number of lessons about the nature of the political war against the Jewish state and how we must act if we are to defeat it. Learning these lessons is an urgent task as we approach the next phase of the war to delegitimize us. ... more  Solving the College Affordability Problem Dan Lips: How much should a college education cost?
