Travesty in New York
By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER | 11/20
WASHINGTON -- The self-proclaimed architect of 9/11, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, has been given by the Obama administration a civilian trial in New York. Just as the memory fades, 9/11 has been granted a second life—and KSM, a second act: “9/11, The Director’s Cut,” narration by KSM.

Stupak Amendment is an insult to women
By ROBYN BLUMNER | 11/16
Rep. Bart Stupak, a Democrat from Michigan and a purported member of the secretive fundamentalist Christian group known as The Family, threatened House Speaker Nancy Pelosi like a spoiled child possessing the playground’s only basketball. He promised to let health reform fail, with about 40 members in tow, unless the bill included his amendment that barred abortion coverage from any public option or private health insurance plan purchased with federal subsidies.

BOSTON -- Remember back in the 1990s when Hillary Clinton described herself as the Rorschach test for how people felt about the women’s movement? Sarah Palin has become the latest test for shifting common ground and fault lines between sisterhood and sibling rivalry.

COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Are the media treating Sarah Palin unfairly? Are they “bashing” her, as her supporters describe any criticism? Was the Newsweek cover sexist? Call me a guy, but give me a break. Sarah Palin is the luckiest woman on the planet.

Con: Obama dug a deep hole in Honduras by trying to save a Chavez wannabe
By RAY WALSER | 11/21
WASHINGTON -- The U.S. State Department has been busily digging a diplomatic crater since June 28. That’s when the Honduran Congress and Supreme Court ousted then-President Manuel Zelaya from office due to his unconstitutional bid to eliminate term limits. Rather than side with the democratic institutions of the land, our State Department surprisingly backed Zelaya’s demand for a return to power.
