Susan Estrich: Graduation day

Katrina Heuvel: Going Bulworth

Michael Gerson: Government's heavy hand felt in IRS, AP scandals

Froma Harrop: Bangladesh and us

You know a corner's been turned when someone in a legion of foreign sweatshop workers is given a face. That's happened in Bangladesh, home of hideous factory conditions -- as seen in the ruins of Rana Plaza, a former eight-story work warren. Death toll: over 1,100.

George Will: In IRS scandal, echoes of Watergate

This administration aggressively hawked the fiction that the Benghazi attack was just an excessively boisterous movie review. Now we are told that a few wayward souls in Cincinnati, with nary a trace of political purpose, targeted for harassment political groups with "tea party" and "patriot" in their titles. The Post has reported that the IRS also targeted groups that " criticized the government and sought to educate Americans about the U.S. Constitution."

Susan Estrich: An exciting gateway

Leonard Pitts: What was the IRS thinking?

Kathleen Parker: IRS, AP scandals bring tea partyers, 'lamestream media' together

Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt -- the benighted Mainstream Media.

Rheta Johnson: Why we should all love Willie

After learning from Internet "news" that real pearls feel gritty to the teeth and sago palms are poisonous to dogs, I decided to play a little music. I can't handle the information age.

Leonard Pitts: Ignoring the real while fighting the imaginary

It should've been the shot heard around the world. Chances are, you didn't hear it. An ominous sort of history was made last week near Austin, Texas, but it seems to have largely escaped notice. There was some media coverage, yes, but less than, say, Lindsay Lohan's latest stint in rehab, certainly less than you'd think for something whose ramifications will likely shadow us for years.

Kathleen Parker: Yes, Ted Cruz is Hispanic 'enough'

Enough with this "enough" business. Latest to the question of whether a person is sufficiently identifiable as belonging to a particular demographic is Ted Cruz -- the conservative Texas senator who happens to be of Hispanic descent.

Leonard Pitts: Running from life

Kathleen Parker: Prude or prudent? The debate over access to Plan B

Susan Estrich: The drunk guy in the parking lot

Froma Harrop: Legal pot means more for states, less for gangs

Thomas Sowell: Words that replace thought

If there is ever a contest for words that substitute for thought, "diversity" should be recognized as the undisputed world champion.

Susan Estrich: A gay man in the NBA

Froma Harrop: How to get fit without really trying

We may not have time for exercise, but there's always time to read about exercising. And while the motivation to exercise may not be tops, the motivation to shop for "aids" to exercise seems forever strong.

Leonard Pitts: Collins scores for gay rights

Rheta Johnson: Why Carol matters

In childhood, summer vacation was synonymous with Florida. One year, in a slight departure from fishing the state's central lakes, we visited the winter home of the circus in Sarasota.
