by Jim Yardley. Those were the days, weren't they? The airwaves, the internet, billboards all touting a little known Senator's mantra of "Hope and Change." It was enough to send a tingle up your leg, or at least start you obsessing over creases in a presidential candidate's trousers. Obama's political handlers created an absolutely marvelous slogan. Sadly, it was also ... MOREHope and Change, But Not In That Order
by Jim Yardley. Those were the days, weren't they? The airwaves, the internet, billboards all touting a little known Senator's mantra of "Hope and Change."

by Debra Saunders. You know the war on drugs has gone too far when politicians keep ratcheting up restrictions on cold and allergy medications in order to prevent kitchen drug labs from buying pills and converting them into methamphetamine.

The president said, "We have to use a scalpel and not a machete to reduce the deficit." But when it comes to tax hikes -- to extend the analogy -- the Obama administration's 2012 budget is charging ... MORESteve Chapman: Fertilizing Farms With Tax Dollars
The case against farm welfare. If you don't mind sweat, dirt, or the smell of manure, this is a great time to be a farmer. Incomes are up, land values are high, and global demand is growing. Oh, and if you're one of the lucky farmers, there's a bonus: a tap on the federal treasury. Farm subsidies are an oddity in a competitive, capitalist economy. In what other business can you expect continuing ... MOREPeter Suderman: Debt Wrong
Obama bets the government can save itself. “From our first days as a nation, we have put our faith in free markets and free enterprise as the engine of America’s wealth and prosperity,” President Barack Obama declared in a speech at George Washington University yesterday. “More than citizens of any other country, we are rugged individualists, a self-reliant people with a healthy ...
