Now, it is time to call out Virginia's Republican Governor Bob McDonnell—whose actions on energy more closely resemble those of the Obama administration than his Republican colleagues. 2012-06-17T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T23:40:02ZMarita Noon

This Father's Day, take a few moments to contemplate today's high cost of being a parent. And the higher cost of not being one.2012-06-17T00:00:38-04:002012-06-17T23:40:02ZPaul Jacob

President Obama would like Iceland. Geo-thermal energy, free health care and high taxes dominate the landscape.2012-06-16T12:01:00-04:002012-06-17T23:40:02ZBill O'Reilly

It's business as usual in the continent where voters think you can get nothing for nothing and politicians think every problem can be solved by more borrowing. 2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T23:40:02ZDaniel J. Mitchell

Over the past year, it seems the news cycle has gotten worse and worse for Planned Parenthood. Besides learning that they cook their books to hide financial disclosures, are doing their best to convert the Girl Scouts into a Planned Parenthood Youth Camp, and support the Obama Administration’s abortion pill mandate (it means more business for them on your dime), we’ve also learned that they refuse to denounce gender-selective abortions—the practice of killing a preborn child because he is a he or she is a she.2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T08:40:03ZMichael Norton

My bad. Woulda, shoulda, coulda. Three worst words in entrepreneurship. 2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZJeff Carter

Since 2010, the economy has added 3.23 million jobs according to the BLS. Of those 3.23 million jobs, 3.33 million (slightly greater than 100%) have been self-employment, contractor, family-business jobs, or other jobs with insufficient wages and therefore ineligible to collect unemployment insurance. 2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZMike Shedlock

If you and I have different incomes, is that unfair? Strange as it may seem, the chattering class is full of people who think equality and fairness are the same thing. Conversely, they assume that inequality of income is unfairness, per se.2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZJohn C. Goodman

Obama says the rest of us ran up the tab. Sure. Who’s writing this material? Steve Martin? Because: Excuuuuuuse me. 2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZJohn Ransom

According to E&E Times, last week, the House killed funding for oil shale research in the 2013 energy and water spending bill. Had the funding been left in place 25 million dollars would have been allocated for oil shale R&D. It was a close vote, 208 to 207, but the funding was eliminated. 2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZLincoln Brown

We laugh at the break-up of the word and vow it will never happen to us. However, in the U.S., the word “assume” has a much broader meaning which is to “take for granted.” 2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZBill Tatro

My home state of Iowa was one of several in 2010 that swept out of office an ineffective liberal Democrat (apologies for the redundancy) and replaced him with a Republican.2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZSteve Deace

The group appears to have used legitimate companies to transport methamphetamine from California to the Denver area and elsewhere in the Western and Midwestern United States. The group then sent the profits back to California, where the cash was wired to banks in China and the Cayman Islands. 2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZStewart Scott

If another person is paid less than you, you will have to live with their jealousy and envy, not to mention the fear that the boss has been grooming a lower-cost, harder-working person to replace you.2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZBob Goldman

The NightWatch position since the overthrow of Mubarak has been that no revolution occurred in Egypt. Mubarak was overthrown in a military coup, led by Mubarak's Defense Minister Field Marshal Tantawi, over Mubarak's insistence that his son succeed him as president.2012-06-16T00:01:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZNight Watch

As Colorado is in the Mountain Time Zone, I am now eight hours away from where I sat at this exact moment one week ago when I was in Paris with The Lad. Woe to me. Let's take a quick look at how we're doing in our place among what is poetically, if incorrectly, called "the family of nations." 2012-06-15T13:20:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZRich Galen

Does "character" count? How about the more archaic notion of "reputation"? Not in the Obama administration, now standing tall behind what in Washington parlance is called the "troubled" nomination of Brett McGurk to be U.S. ambassador to Iraq.2012-06-15T12:19:00-04:002012-06-17T01:10:05ZDiana West
