Kathleen Parker: The comparisons you should never make
Charles Krauthammer: Why liberals are panicked about Obamacare
Leonard Pitts: 150 years later, fight for equality and freedom continues
The greatest words any American ever said were spoken by a gaunt, war-haunted man in a tiny Pennsylvania college town 150 years ago Tuesday.
Rheta Johnson: Nowhere but Louisiana
BATON ROUGE, La. -- I am winding my way down to the Louisiana Capitol basement, trying to find House Committee Room 6, which is as exciting as it sounds and not evident by the crowds gathering to hear me read.
Kathleen Parker: The sinking ship of Obamacare
Let's recap: If you like your insurance policy, you can keep it. No, wait. If you liked your policy, it was probably worthless anyway. Scratch that. If your junk policy was canceled and you still want it, you can keep it. Er, get it back.
Leonard Pitts: A breath of fresh air from the Vatican
Leonard Pitts: Mr. President, you lied
Kathleen Parker: Doubling down on double standards
Susan Estrich: Cancellation politics
Thomas Sowell: Tea Party at the crossroads
Rheta Johnson: Country mouse in a city trap
ATLANTA -- In 1994, I borrowed the truck that hauled the loaner bed to the thinly disguised doublewide I was renting outside of Atlanta.
Susan Estrich: The Tsongas Bill
That's what it was called back in 1979, when Paul Tsongas, the freshman senator from Massachusetts, introduced a bill to amend Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to add sexual orientation to the list (which already included race, religion and sex) of things you couldn't (absent narrow exceptions) base employment decisions on.
Leonard Pitts: For adults, there's no room for childish behavior
Boys will be boys. Strip away the extraneous verbiage and that is what much of the defense of Richie Incognito boils down to. Incognito, a Miami Dolphins lineman, was booted from the team a few days ago -- perhaps permanently -- for abusive conduct, racist language and bullying behavior toward fellow lineman Jonathan Martin. Incognito's teammates are firmly on his side.
Kathleen Parker: Obamacare Rx: a well-delivered apology
President Obama is no lip-biting, tear-streaked, chin-trembling apologist.
Kathleen Parker: The sin of omission in Obamacare
Among the many rules I grew up with, two stand out. The first was to never call someone a liar, which was considered the worst character indictment one could issue. The accuser had best be prepared to fight or be fleet of foot.
Leonard Pitts: Think you're being watched? Maybe you are
Susan Estrich: The brave men and women of the TSA
Clarence Page: Shakespeare echoes in today's politics
Froma Harrop: Eyes will dry over Obamacare
Charles Krauthammer: Obamacare laid bare
Every disaster has its moment of clarity. Physicist Richard Feynman dunks an O-ring into ice water and everyone understands instantly why the shuttle Challenger exploded. This week, the Obamacare O-ring froze for all the world to see: Hundreds of thousands of cancellation letters went out to people who had been assured a dozen times by the president that "If you like your health-care plan, you'll be able to keep your health-care plan. Period."
