The ideological descendants of 18th-century British politician Edmund Burke claim exclusive control of the cherished title "conservative," dismissing Ronald Reagan as a "Manchester liberal" who is "marching under borrowed banners...
...President's five-minute sermon from the mount this weekend suggests an equally fundamental criticism: that on a topic as critical as federal education policy, he remains ignorant of the ramifications of his recommendations and uninterested in learning more: If the President's "working vacations" are only going to breed haphazard pronouncements on issues of grave importance, we'd just as soon see our Chief Executive eliminate the "work" from his vacations altogether...

There's a highly persuasive body of thinking that claims any rise in injuries parallels a similar rise in gross athletic activity.
