Left wing ignores economic realities
As I read the editorial, "Rejecting austerity" (May 9), I couldn't help but think of how well it echoes the left-wing agenda. I disagree with almost every point made, as it only showcases conservatives as the problem. It is all parties and the incessant...Tags: Protest, European Union

Romney: The ideal foil for Democrats' class warfare campaign
It was going to happen anyway, but Mitt Romney's wealth and history as a healer of troubled corporations doubly assures that this year's presidential campaign will see a return in spades to good old "class warfare." David Axelrod, President Obama's chief...

The curse of Mitt's millions
Although Mitt Romneyis now on the brink of nomination as the 2012 Republican presidential standard-bearer, the question remains as to why so much doubt lingers about him. A central concern seems to be that he's just too rich to understand the problems...

Small Carroll County town wants a recall option
In the quaint town of New Windsor, officials have sold the municipal ball fields to a cement company, purchased a dilapidated inn with taxpayer money for development that hasn't happened and stuck residents with the bill for a nearly $5 million wastewater...Tags: Local Elections, Illegal Immigrants, Baltimore County, Referenda, Annapolis

Maybe Bobby Zirkin should be a Republican
"Disgusted" is a strong word. I tend to hold it in reserve; I save it for things that fill me with actual loathing or nauseate me. Others are more cavalier about the word's usage — to the point where they demean its meaning. They claim to be...Tags: Democratic Party, John C.

Norman Lear: Occupy movement revives tradition of protest
I was recently shown a picture from one of the Occupy protests taking place across the country. It featured a young woman surrounded by police. She was the only protester in the picture, but she didn't seem intimidated. All by herself, up against the...Tags: Minority Groups, Norman Lear, Values, Immigration, Political Dissent

2011, the year of winning by losing
Charlie Sheen was clearly the man of the year.
You'll recall that 2011 began with the oafish actor celebrating his own narcotic and sexual crapulence like a victorious gladiator working the crowds. He was egged on by a media with as much decency as the...Tags: Tea Party Movement, The New York Times, Punishment, Periodicals, Lindsay Lohan

1. Rebecca Black Today is not Friday, but Rebecca Black's unintentional parody of modern pop still (unfortunately) takes the No. 1 spot for 2011 viral hits. The original video racked up disproportionately more dislikes than likes, but its so-bad-it's-...Tags: Alex Jones, Blu-ray Discs, Stephen Colbert, Rebecca Black, Rick Perry
