A stronger and better nation

President Obama has a lot on his plate: Afghanistan, health care, climate change and a persistent and poisonous unemployment rate. Now he’s adding another indigestible dish: immigration reform.

Statistics make a deadly triumph

What were they thinking? A panel of scientists has issued guidelines for breast-cancer screening that could undo years of education and advocacy that have saved tens of thousands of lives. In a report that smacks of health-care rationing, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends that instead of annual mammograms after the age of 40, women should wait until age 50 to receive regular screening, and then only every other year instead of annually.

The perils of moderation in U.S. politics

A Republican politician who inherited a family tradition of moderation was fuming with frustration: “What a crazy place Congress is! My wonderful dad has to be turning over in his grave, and I am a close second!” Hosts and producers “really don’t want us moderates on TV,” the politician added, because they refuse to say outrageous things just to get tube time.

ACORN scandal has deep roots

ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, is a scandal. This story has become breaking news lately thanks to some recent guerilla journalism. But the problems of ACORN represent a broader, and even more scandalous idea: the conventional acceptance of the left’s self-righteous claims to having a monopoly on all politics, policy and lifestyles that are good.

Clean up; it’s Clean-up Week

Clean-up Week is upon us although it’s dressed a little differently this year. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of items we don’t want or need anymore.

One lousy summer for North Dakota gardeners

This was not a good summer for the vegetable gardeners. With late spring turning into mild winter, the corn never had a chance. Neither did anything else. The calendar may have alleged otherwise but this year we had April, April, October and October. That was summer.

An affair to remember

Reality-show star Jon Gosselin did it. Country singer Shania Twain, whose “One” has become a wedding standard, wound up a victim of it. An endless parade of politicians has done it, and those are the ones we wind up knowing about.

What others think: Keeping ranch in one piece is best solution

With a sense of trepidation, regret and inevitability, many North Dakotans are watching the face of the Badlands change. During the past several decades, a dense network of roads serving oil development spread across the sandstone, clay and scoria buttes and ravines that set this part of the world apart from the prairie. Producing wells thump away into the Badlands quiet. Pipelines snake across the rough terrain, fording beneath the sandy bottom of the Little Missouri River.

Quieting a noisy neighborhood

”We live in a quiet house in a noisy neighborhood.” Our tour guide’s assessment aptly sums up the difference between his native Jordan and other countries in the Middle East, a difference created almost 15 years ago when Jordan signed the historic peace treaty with Israel.

Seniors already get the biggest bailouts

When the greed of the Wall Street manipulators pushed the country toward bankruptcy, citizens across the country were outraged at the bonuses being paid to the people who created the problem. Then when the Bush and Obama administrations put up billions to stop the hemorrhaging, the public rhetoric reached hysterical proportions. Bailout became the nation’s dirtiest word.

Don’t waste this crisis

“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste,” White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel famously proclaimed soon after Barack Obama was elected. As students and teachers head back to school, they are learning what he meant. The Obama administration is taking advantage of the economic situation to push through some much-needed school reforms it would be almost impossible to achieve under normal circumstances.

The lion’s murky past

Something about the death of a famous liberal person turns the media into grieving widows whose dictum against speaking “ill” of the dead eliminates all sober analysis of the life in question. Once, death in the passing parade came to us, more or less, in “just-the-facts, ma’am” obituaries. Now, breaking, live and for the duration, a celebratory loop plays on about even the most mixed and controversial public lives.
