Readers have beaver fever

Tap out a few hundred words on some local mobster, and I can expect several phone calls — at least one of them life-threatening.

Of course, society ismore offensive

On Feb. 6, U.S. Rep. Donna Edwards spoke at an annual dinner of the Washington Press Club Foundation. The speech, intended to be humorous, fell flat, or so some journalists say. That kind of performance normally gets a line or two in the article about these occasions.

Margins tax isn’t even marginally a good idea

When you have to intentionally and misleadingly misname a legislative or public policy initiative to make it more palatable to the citizenry, you just know it’s a bad idea. Case in point: the horribly misnamed Affordable Care Act, aka Obamacare.

Lessons from unnecessary wars come too late

When the news of Shirley Temple’s death came through last week, my mind went first to one of the least-remembered episodes of her career. In 1967, she ran for the U.S. House.
