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.

Obama rides high, but clouds gather

The political verdict on President Barack Obama’s first five months in office has to be “so far, so good,” but it also must include trepidation about clouds on the horizon. For sure, he’s popular. He’s laid out a breathtakingly bold agenda that he has good prospects of fulfilling. And his opposition is in dire political straits.

The N.D. Legislature as a ‘roaring farce’

“A two-house Legislature with the senatorial and representative districts identical is a roaring farce. There would have been more one-house advocates if it had been foreseen.”

100 days and nights of the N.D. Guard

This past winter’s heavy snowfall led to historic spring flooding all across North Dakota. From our largest cities to our rural communities, the citizen-soldiers and citizen-airmen of the North Dakota National Guard responded in record numbers to assist local communities and first responders.

‘Only I’m the president’

White House press conferences are often pallid and pre-scripted affairs. But President Barack Obama’s occasionally testy exchange with reporters this week revealed a key dimension of his approach to the presidency.

The voice claims another victim

The first thing that should be acknowledged about South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford’s admission to an extramarital affair is that it could happen to any of us. That is not an excuse (and no, it has not happened to me, or to my wife). Every married person has heard the voice; the one that says you deserve something “better.”

Free speech vs. surveillance in the digital age

Tools of mass communication that were once the province of governments and corporations now fit in your pocket. Cell phones can capture video and send it wirelessly to the Internet. People can send eyewitness accounts, photos and videos, with a few keystrokes, to thousands or even millions via social networking sites. As these technologies have developed, so too has the ability to monitor, filter, censor and block them.

Too bad single payer isn’t being considered

A universal health care system based on the single-payer model appears to be a bridge too far for politically attuned President Barack Obama.

The meaning of Neda

Every revolution needs a unifying symbol, and members of Iran’s opposition movement now have theirs. That was one dumb sniper who took out the young woman millions now know as Neda. Or was he?

Will Congress investigate funny business at AmeriCorps?

With the news dominated by Iran, health care, and Sonia Sotomayor, you might not have noticed what could become the first scandal, or at least mini-scandal, of the Obama White House.

Sharia continues to strangle speech

I am being patted down by a female Danish security officer in the basement of the parliament building in Copenhagen and I have a thought. I have just triggered the metal detector — my heels, I’m sure — en route upstairs to the Landstingssalen, formerly the parliament’s upper house. There, I am scheduled to deliver a speech at the invitation of the Danish Free Press Society, or Trykkefrihedsselskabet. (Say that three times fast — or slow.)

An apology at last, with an escape clause

What if Congress apologized for slavery and nobody cared? The Senate on Thursday followed the House in voting to apologize for slavery and the Jim Crow segregation that followed it. In other words, it only took almost 150 years and the election of an African American who is not descended from slavery to move Congress to apologize for slavery.

Elections in Iran make nuclear talks harder

President Barack Obama went easy on Iran in his big June 4 speech in Cairo so as not to become an issue in last weekend’s elections. Some good it did. The ruling powers in Iran — rigidly hostile to the United States and determined to develop nuclear weapons — rigged the vote to restore radical Islamist President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to power.

Ensign’s road to redemption

Nevada Republican Sen. John Ensign was unfaithful to his wife; there’s no excusing broken vows. But the steps he’s taken since the story broke on Wednesday provide a reminder that there is a road to redemption in truth. And not just for one U.S. senator and his family, but for American politics. In his public confession and acts of atonement, En-sign has brought a refreshing change to the roster of recent Beltway loose-belt scandals that have hit both sides of the aisle.

Sickly talk about fixing health care

President Obama was elected with perhaps the best chance in a generation to reform America’s unjust and grotesquely inefficient health care system. To do so, however, he’ll have to conquer not only special entrenched interests like the insurance and pharmaceutical industries and the American Medical Association, but his own sentimental rhetoric about bipartisanship.
