...Democrats standing in the way of common sense and smart budgeting? We’ll give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they understand the details of the plans. What they don’t seem to understand, however, is the urgency of the problem: Instead of focusing on reforming the parts of the budget that will lead to unbearable costs in the future, Democrats embarked on an ideologically-driven crusade to expand government, exacerbating an already huge budgetary problem by dumping 16 million additional Americans into Medicaid through the recently passed health care bill that actually raises...

...newest addition to the ongoing Cape Wind saga—Massachusetts’s top historic preservation official took a public stand against the alternative-energy project, on grounds that two Native American tribes have ties to the land and water in question. While we understand that certain natural spaces hold significance for specific groups of people, climate change poses a pressing and collective threat to the planet as a whole.

...Pacquiao's main pitch to voters has remained unchanged since 2007: I understand the poor man's woes, while my opponent is aloof and élite. Roy Chiongbian doesn't claim to have the Almighty on his side, but then perhaps he doesn't need him so much. Sarangani is a family affair. The province's borders were drawn in 1992 by Chiongbian's late father; his mother was its first governor. The current congressman is his brother and the vice-governor his nephew. Incumbents have a natural advantage over challengers, since they have had years - in the Chiongbian family...
