The bad news is he had to do it again a couple of weeks ago. But we're going to turn a negative into a positive today. We're going to get the message out — a reminder, really — that parents need to keep the ugly under control and set a good example for children.

  5. Obama's 'Katrina moment'

    It has been a rough week or so for the Obama administration.

To understand President Obama's situation, we need to explore a little presidential theory and some recent presidential history.

  8. Obamacare's tax on innovation

    Government leaders are asking us to out-innovate, out-export and out-work our competitors in order for the United States to turn this economy around. But what if our own government was instituting policies that proved to be some of the biggest obstacles in achieving those goals?
