POWER
The
FCC has gone too far
The media has a lot of power. It influences what we hear,
see and think every day.
Fortunately, this is checked by regulation that prevents one
big company from controlling too much of it.

solutions faulty
The
Israel and Palestine situation in the Middle East is a catastrophe
that seems unending. Palestinian terrorist attacks continue
to murder or maim numerous Israelis and Israel continues to
respond with intense retaliatory strikes. |

COMMENTARY
I’d
like to take this space on the opinion page to thank the good
people of California for starting all this recall mess. I have
nothing invested in who comes out on top. But still, I’d
like to thank the 1.6 million people who signed petitions to
recall Gov. Gray Davis, and the three judges who lengthened
the ordeal by five months, for turning California into the laughingstock
of American politics. |
