Palin could be 2012 GOP nominee

It used to be easy to predict who the next Republican presidential nominee would be. It was decided by primogeniture: The next oldest guy in line got to be the king. It’s not so easy looking to 2012, with former Vice President Dick Cheney out of the running and a woman, soon-to-be former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, in.

End the water war with Manitoba

It’s time for North Dakota and Manitoba to give up re-enacting the Hatfields and McCoys and resolve their disputes over the Devils Lake outlet and the 30-mile dam along the Manitoba border. These differences have lasted so long they are becoming intergenerational.

An experience to remember in N.D.

My wife Jane and I, along with son Bill Jr., his wife Chris, and daughters Isabelle (14), Zoë (12), and Luiza (3 1/2), recently set out on a family adventure RV’ing through North Dakota. This trip had two purposes. First, Bill Jr. and Chris are writing a book “Beautiful Women of ND,” a portrayal of North Dakota women who are beautiful in so many ways.

Not-so-lame ducks

What’s so bad about lame ducks? It’s one of the many questions Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin raised when she stunned the political world with her announcement that she would soon be leaving office.

Government care a health hazard

Most of us are familiar with the old expressions: Look before you leap; a stitch in time saves nine; if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. These phrases remind us to think before accepting anything as fact. And never have they been more applicable then now, as the Obama administration attempts to re-fashion the healing arts.

The beginning of the end in Iraq

The withdrawal of U.S. military forces from Baghdad and other key cities in Iraq marks the beginning of the end of the tragic war there. While it’s not over yet, the Iraqis are celebrating and happy — free at last from American control. Well, almost.

League of her own

When you’re up to your waders in barracuda, blame the media. And quit your job. And say you did it for the people. And hire an agent. And try to keep a straight face. On your way to the bank.

Iraq is victorious?

I’ve been stewing over something really lousy that Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki has been saying since June 20: that Iraqis have won a “great victory” over the “foreign presence in Iraq.”

Who are we as Americans?

President Barack Obama, in his May 21 speech at the National Archives Museum in Washington said that “we can defeat Al Qaeda ...if we stay true to who we are...anchored in our timeless ideals.” A much more somber note, however, was in a warning by retiring Supreme Court Justice David Souter the day before at Georgetown University Law Center.

Conrad says health reform plan won’t work

Liberal health-reform advocates have talked about ramming a reform plan — including a Medicare-like public insurance option — through the Senate with only 51 Democratic votes. But a leading Senate player says it won’t work. If an attempt is made to pass health reform under “reconciliation” rules — requiring just a simple majority vote — Senate Budget Chairman Kent Conrad, D-N.D., told me, the bill would be so pared down, “you’d be left with Swiss cheese.”

On terror ‘no-fly’ list, but still buying guns

For gun purchasers, should “no-fly” mean “no buy?” People on the government’s terrorist watch list tried to buy guns almost 1,000 times in the last five years, a federal study finds. In nine out of 10 cases, federal authorities let them do it, the report finds, because there was no legal way to stop them.

Please cry for me, South Carolina

A wise man once said that love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. No one who managed to get through the torture of South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford’s news conference admitting to an affair would disagree.

Pundits, get out of Iran’s ‘green’ zone

Aside from a mass deployment of force against unarmed protestors (which, unfortunately, is not unlikely) what is the worst possible outcome in Iran? Answer: That it becomes unavoidably clear the post-election conflict isn’t a struggle between tyranny and freedom — the epic narrative we’ve been hearing in absolute, non-contestable terms. The worst thing that could happen next, at least for the absolute, non-contestable pundit-ocracy, is that it becomes clear we’re looking at an intra-Islamic power struggle that has nothing to do with liberty and justice for anybody.

No one feels safe in Zimbabwe

The BBC’s Mike Thomson, in a series of reports from Zimbabwe in early June, spoke to “a Zimbabwean mother and (13-year-old) daughter who are still too afraid to return home after being abducted and repeatedly raped by militiamen from President Robert Mugabe’s Zanu-PF party a year ago.” Their fear has not lessened despite the new alleged “power-sharing” coalition between Mugabe and the Movement for Democratic Change’s Morgan Tsvangirai.

Bridge the gap with cooperative health care

There is little doubt that America’s health care system is in need of serious reform: costs threaten to spiral out of control and swamp not just our federal budget but also the budgets of everyday families.
