The Arizona governor is a woman of pragmatism. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, a Republican and former U.S. attorney, has never been keen on his state's Compassionate Use of Medical Marijuana Act, which his predecessor, Jon Corzine, signed into law on the last day of his administration. But last week Christie announced that New Jersey will proceed with plans to let ... MOREJan Brewer, A Phony Federalist
The Arizona governor is a woman of pragmatism. New Jersey Gov.

by Norman Rogers. French philosophers invented deconstructionism and postmodernism, or the theory that nothing means what it says.

I just got a promotional email from Regnery Publishing, one of my all-time favorite book-publishing companies. ... MOREA. Barton Hinkle: Is The Tea Party Crazy Or Just Nuts?

That's the truth about what we learned from Japan. In the midst of a still struggling and fragile global economy, Germany has announced that it will shut down seven nuclear plants by the end of the year--which means that Germans will be left to run their factories, heat their homes, and power their economy with 10% less electrical generating capacity. Nine more plants ... MOREThomas Sowell: Debt-Ceiling Chicken
Thinking about the long haul. The big news, as far as the media are concerned, is the political game of debt-ceiling chicken that is being played by Democrats and Republicans in Washington. But, however much the media are focused on what is happening inside the Beltway, there is a whole country outside the Beltway -- and the time is long overdue to start thinking ... MOREIra Stoll: Five Facts About the Debt
