Mona Charen on the Libby case--Amnesiac-at-large?Mona Charen finds the Libby case "a farce and an outrage." I've got those nobody loves me, everybody loathes me, I'm just a millionaire CEO bluesHey, if Neil Cavuto can pen an ode to the unappreciated rich, then why can't National Review's Rich Lowry wax eloquent about the poor, unappreciated CEOs of the world?

Buried beneath the "good news" economic headlineBush in his own wordsFrom the transcript of NPR's interview of President Bush, conducted by Juan WIlliams today, January 29 (emphasis added): Now why does this bother me so much....There's going to be a Reclaiming America for Christ Conference in Fort Lauderdale on March 2-3, 2007. Know who's going to be a speaker? Barry Black, Chaplain for the U.S. Senate. Now why does that bother me? |
