Mix in species

Many anglers have a specie of fish that they prefer to chase. Some folks focus all their fishing energies on bass, others like muskies. Across the Midwest a bunch of fishing people like to go mostly after walleyes. Having a fish that you really enjoy chasing is a good thing, but it can also be kind of limiting. There are days when, walleyes for example, just aren’t as aggressive as they are at other times. And, if they’re not aggressive, you’re not going to have as much action. That’s when you might want to try catching a different species of fish.

2009 North Dakota state legislative review

June is a time of optimism and hope, not only for anglers who may have spent much of May recovering from floods, but also for farmers who hurried to recoup lost time and are now crossing their fingers hoping the late spring will catch up and those memories will be erased by a good crop.

From newsroom to bedroom

Not so long ago in a vastly different media environment there were such things as journalistic ethics. Reporters were prohibited from taking trips paid for by individuals or groups they might cover. They couldn’t accept money for speeches. And they surely could not accept money or gratuities in exchange for reporting on a story in which a corporation or individual might have an interest. Too much socializing with sources was also frowned upon.

Congress, heal thyself

As the Obama administration pushes for a vote on health-care reform before Congress recesses in August, has health-industry money too thoroughly polluted the process for anything good to come of it?

Rein in the unspent stimulus

Nearly five months into Barack Obama’s presidency, his stimulus program is failing to produce the jobs he promised. And voters are souring on his big spending, deficit-driving policies.

Is ‘prolonged detention’ American?

Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall once warned: “Throughout the world today there are men, women and children interned indefinitely, awaiting trials which may never come or which may be a mockery of the word, because their governments believe them to be ‘dangerous.’ Our Constitution...can shelter us forever against the dangers of such unchecked power” (dissenting, U.S. v. Salerno, 1987).

Fight crazy talk with some sanity

What is it about President Obama that drives some people crazy? Take, for example, his former pastor. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright is back in the news again. This time he’s apologizing.

Medicare drug plan ought to be model

As they work on comprehensive health reform, Congress and President Barack Obama ought to look to the most successful model yet: the 2003 Medicare prescription drug law.

Put the life back into ‘pro-life’

Anyone paying attention to the news lately can’t be blamed for thinking that those who defend the lives of the unborn by opposing legal abortion are not the most loving bunch, and perhaps not the most sane. But undue focus on the aberrant acts of a crazed few can overshadow the goodness of the many.

Unquestioned authority

A criticism heard during the early years of the Bush administration was that the media were “in the tank” for Bush, fearing to question his foreign and domestic policies in the aftermath of 9/11 because of his then-high approval numbers and concern that they would be labeled unpatriotic.

Sotomayor promises to stick to the law

Is Supreme Court Justice-designate Sonia Sotomayor going to have to eat her words and forget her past to win a seat on the high bench? That would apparently appease some of her right-wing critics, who are grasping at straws in their campaign to try to derail the Hispanic woman’s nomination — or, at least, try to rough her up a bit.

The GOP’s Palin's problem

Sarah Palin, governor of Alaska and GOP “It” girl, can warm up the Republican base like a hot toddy in a duck blind. But further inside the party organization, the air is a little nippy.

Mr. President, visit Pvt. Long’s family

The last thing “President Hussein” did not do before flying Magic Carpet One to “the Kingdom” was .... OK. Hang on a sec. I’m just trying to get into the Islamo-spirit of being a citizen of what the 44th president called, and I quote: “one of the largest Muslim countries in the world.” Yes, Barack Obama was talking about the United States, which, with somewhere between 2 million and 3 million Muslims tops (not all of whom are citizens) doesn’t exactly sound like Mecca for Islam, literally or figuratively.
