Andrew B. Wilson: Sleepless In St. Louis
Entrepreneur/super-mom fears an Obama victory. No one would mistake my sister Dodie -- a super-mom (sometimes tiger mom) and entrepreneur -- for a hand-wringing pessimist. Intrepid and resourceful, she always rises to the moment -- like the "unsinkable" Molly Brown in the musical about the Titanic. But now (even after the smack-down ... MORESteven Greenhut: California's Crony Capitalism Problem
Jerry Brown and the redevelopment scam. In much of the country, the mere mention of the name, Jerry Brown, signifies the otherworldly nature of California politics.

If you want the right questions asked, that is. President Obama has been a failure. On his watch, the American economy has significantly deteriorated largely because he has stifled free market forces by over-regulating them and because he has laden taxpayers with debt. Those two factors alone -- the federal government increasing the cost of doing ... MOREAmerican Interest: A Voter's Guide To Legalizing Marijuana
Time to triage tax dollars and legalize self-ownership. Current U.S. drug policies have produced mediocre results, at best. Pessimists say that trying to eradicate drug use by making it illegal has failed altogether. Even optimists mostly view the prohibition approach as just holding the line, which is a polite way of saying that we are mired in an ugly ... MORESuzanne Fields: The Immorality Of Feeding Big Bird
