		<title>Gerrymandering&#8217;s X-Factor</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March 14, 2010



 
by Salena Zito

Pennsylvania’s congressional, U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races are without question the bellwether for this fall’s midterm elections. Yet the results of state legislative races will impact the state’s political future more than the other races combined.
That’s because politics’ favorite cyclical math equation (aside from figuring how to count super delegates) is [...]]]></description>

by Steve Chapman

It is not from the benevolence of the butcher, the brewer or the baker that we expect our dinner, but from their regard to their own interest. … Nobody but a beggar chooses to depend chiefly upon the benevolence of his fellow-citizens. &#8211; Adam Smith, The Wealth of Nations

		<title>Deaf on earmarks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March 14, 2010



 
by Paul Jacob

In the grand scheme of things — among all the wasteful, foolish, corrupting things engaged in by members of Congress — earmarks are one small item.
 
We read about the latest insider deals in the morning paper, but earmarks certainly don’t capture the intense media attention that congressional groping and tickling do.

“Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” —Henry David Thoreau

WASHINGTON &#8212; The increasingly puerile spectacle of presidential State of the Union addresses is indicative of the state of the union, and is unnecessary: The Constitution requires only that the president &#8220;shall from time to time give to the Congress information of the state of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Obama to gut No Child Left Behind</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mar 14, 2010
By Rick Moran
It&#8217;s no secret that Obama and the Democrats have been wanting to radically alter the No Child Left Behind legislation that is up for reauthorization this year. One reason is that it exposes too many Democratic machines in big cities where schools are totally dysfunctional. 
Can&#8217;t have that now, can we?
So, the [...]]]></description>

By Michael O&#8217;Hanlon and Hassina Sherjan
Sunday, March 14, 2010
 

The war in Afghanistan is in its ninth year, and even officials supportive of the U.S. presence there acknowledge the challenges that remain. &#8220;People still need to understand there is some very hard fighting and very hard days ahead,&#8221; Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said during his [...]]]></description>

Sunday, March 14, 2010
 

Congress is ready for a nap. The financial crisis was a year-long emergency. Health-care reform has been a seemingly endless grind. No one quite knows what to do about jobs. Cap-and-trade seems doomed in the Senate, which means all the work the House did to pass its [...]]]></description>
