  1. Rand Paul has lotsa 'splaining to do

    Within hours after Sen. Rand Paul's news-making speech at historically black Howard University, someone posted this new definition on the user-driven Urban Dictionary website of an awkward-sounding but quite timely verb: "whitesplain":

  2. How the welfare state has grown — and sapped America's economy and culture

    "I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them." — Thomas Jefferson

  3. Who's to blame for our politics? Don't ask

    There is a classic "Doonesbury" cartoon, published soon after the Vietnam War ended, in which the antiwar activist Mark Slackmeyer is arguing with his pro-war father. They go back and forth, each blaming the other's politics for everything that's wrong in Southeast Asia, when they finally reach the Cambodian genocide.

  4. Oval Office may be Floridian's home

    With each passing day, Jeb Bush looks more and more like a presidential candidate. At this stage, he's striking the obligatory, non-committal tone, but he's just come out with a book on immigration reform, is showing up on radio and TV talk shows, and...

  5. A Dyngus Day for the history books

    Forty-five years ago, Bobby Kennedy came to South Bend for the wildest of all Dyngus Days. Kennedy would have been president if he had lived long enough.
    Forty-five years ago, Bobby Kennedy came to South Bend for the wildest of all Dyngus Days. Kennedy would have been president if he had lived long enough. I was far from sure on that Dyngus Day, as Kennedy campaigned here in a "must win" 1968 Democratic...

  6. Obama's limited war on guns

    Jules Witcover
    WASHINGTON -- As a consensus has slowly built that Congress will at best settle for half a loaf on tough new gun-control legislation, President Obama continues to do a version of a Muhammad Ali rope-a-dope dance on the issue. At the White House on...

  7. In defense of Obama's drone war

    — The nation's vexation over the morality and legality of President Barack Obama's drone war has produced a salutary but hopelessly confused debate. Three categories of questions are being asked. They must be separated to be clearly understood.

  8. McManus: Obama's plan to avoid lame-duckery

    For the last two months, President Obama has been mired in Washington's inside game, caught up in backroom congressional politics as he tried unsuccessfully to pass a bill on gun control and nudge Republican senators toward compromise on the budget.

  9. For GOP substance, deregulate

    WASHINGTON -- Because of the grotesquely swollen place the presidency now occupies in the nation's governance and consciousness, we are never not preoccupied with presidential campaigning. The Constitution's Framers would be appalled.

  10. Shifting party fortunes is nothing new

    Is the Republican Party toast? You would think so, listening to the political analysts and strategists, including those who prepared a harshly critical self-appraisal for the Republican National Committee.

  11. Bush's war, 10 years later

    Jules Witcover
    WASHINGTON -- The 10th anniversary of the American invasion of Iraq seems an appropriate time to look back at how it all happened and what it has wrought, not so much for Iraq as for the United States, which poured its own troops, treasure and world...

  12. Oswald's gun and the decline of U.S. politics

    Next week marks a much-overlooked anniversary: It will be 50 years since Lee Harvey Oswald, under the name A. Hidell, purchased the Italian surplus Carcano M91/38 rifle with which he would eight months later assassinate President John F. Kennedy.
