I think there's a misconception that I'm opposed to social media.

The Democrats generally recoil from the subject of entitlements.

Maybe we're all a little too desperate these days for a simple formula to explain how our safe world came unhinged.

Casual reliance on unnamed sources...corrodes our credibility and, in cases that are rare but not rare enough, may abet journalistic malpractice.

A vote for Mitt Romney is a vote for Satan.
