Knieval's legacy lives on
This past Friday, Evel Knieval finally could cheat death no more, as passed away at his home in Clearwater, Fla. He was 69.
Science trumps politics
The "sideshow" has become the main event. For years, we've been told that only stem-cell research that destroys human embryos is worth pursuing. Everything else is a diversion, driven by fanatical religious opposition to the progress of science.
How to stop Chavez
Hugo Chavez continues to keep pushing Latin America into the pits of resentful Third-Worldism.
Symbol of 'new' South

Iraq 3.0 Lowered expectation
One gets the feeling that even the White House realizes the mess it's made of Iraq. The other day the newspapers reported that the Bush administration has scaled back its objectives rather substantially. We might call it Iraq 3.0.

Spending is missing from tax debate

Family is key to student achievement
