Ann Curry Came to Ohio To Tell the Story of America

By Connie Schultz Thursday, July 29, 2010, 07:16 AM EDT

Last Sunday night, NBC viewers across the country got a glimpse into the despair that is choking the life out of Ohio's Appalachia.
The "Dateline" special, reported over nine months by Ann Curry and titled "America Now: Friends and Neighbors," was a heartbreaking hour of television for Ohioans. It was like opening your personal diary to the saddest parts and letting the whole world read: Read more

Hide-and-Seek Hypocrites on the Hill

By Michelle Malkin Thursday, July 29, 2010, 07:07 AM EDT

You know when a politician starts a sentence with "frankly," he's about to lie to your face. The same principle applies to campaign finance legislation dubbed the "DISCLOSE Act." The voter's instinctive reaction should be: What are they trying to hide now? Drafted out of public view with left-wing lobbyists and rammed through Congress after bypassing committee hearings, this bum bill would have been better named the CLOSEDDOOR Act. Read more

Honoring the Fallen, One Facebook Post at a Time

By Connie Schultz Thursday, July 22, 2010, 05:49 AM EDT

Dealergate: Destroying jobs in the name of "shared sacrifice"

By Michelle Malkin Thursday, July 22, 2010, 05:46 AM EDT

Everything you need to know about the nightmare of government-controlled businesses can be found in a damning new inspector general's report on Dealergate. The independent review of how and why the Obama administration forced Chrysler and General Motors to oversee mass closures of car dealerships across the country reveals grisly incompetence, fatal bureaucratic hubris and Big Labor cronyism. No wonder you won't hear much about the report's in-depth details in the so-called mainstream media. Read more

LeBron Is Gone, and Cleveland Still Is Standing

By Connie Schultz Wednesday, July 14, 2010, 05:49 PM EDT

The morning after LeBron James announced that he was leaving Cleveland, parents began calling local pediatrician Shelly Senders' office.

"I talked to a lot of people on the phone and in the office," Senders said. "It was clear that a lot of people, especially children, were suffering. Parents were saying, 'His room is festooned with LeBron posters. What do we say? How do we explain this?'" Read more

The National Association for the Advancement of Coddled People

By Michelle Malkin Wednesday, July 14, 2010, 05:47 PM EDT

Before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People decided to ride the anti-tea party wave back to political relevancy, its most recent activist crusade involved a silly space-themed Hallmark graduation card. Yes, the NAACP has been lost in space for quite some time now. And blaming whitey will no longer cut it. Read more

Obama's Coffee House Loophole

By Michelle Malkin Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 02:28 PM EDT

President Obama is finally uniting the left and the right -- in joint opposition to his administration's chronic sabotage of transparency and public disclosure rules. It won't be long before liberals disillusioned by Dear Leader's reveal-as-we-say-not-as-we-conceal policies link arms with me and join in on my 2-year-old chant: Obama lied, transparency died.
Watchdog groups and Republicans on Capitol Hill want an investigation into hundreds of White House meetings with corporate lobbyists at D.C. coffee houses. Read more

Every College Student Should Own a Passport

By Connie Schultz Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 02:21 PM EDT

Most of us have favorite movie scenes, for any number of reasons.
One of mine is the exchange between a mother and her son in the 1979 movie "Breaking Away," a classic coming-of-age story about four teenage boys in Bloomington, Ind.
In this particular scene -- played to perfection by Barbara Barrie and Dennis Christopher -- Mrs. Stoller is trying to encourage her son, Dave, to imagine a bigger life for himself.
So she reveals a secret.

The Resurrection of Rod Blagojevich

By Michelle Malkin Tuesday, June 01, 2010, 09:04 PM EDT

We've had the Summer of Love and the Summer of the Shark. Now, are you ready for the Summer of Corruption? On Thursday, jury selection begins in the federal trial of disgraced former Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich of Illinois. The timing couldn't be worse for Blago's old Chicago pals in the White House. Just as Team Obama tries to bury one job-trading scandal, another one resurfaces. Read more

Let's Give the Kids a Real Summer

By Connie Schultz Tuesday, June 01, 2010, 08:59 PM EDT

Ah, June.
Time for the carcinogenic clouds of outdoor grills, the buzz of neighborly yard tools drowning out low-flying aircraft and family arguments over who gets to wear the inflatable starfish armbands in the swimming pool.
And let us not forget the children. Millions of the little darlings are about to be emancipated from teachers' daily reprimands to use their words, not their hands, and rush into the Season of Living Hell. Read more

A Young Conservative Gives Hope to This Ol' Liberal

By Connie Schultz Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 03:06 PM EDT

Kyle Robbins' first e-mail made me smile: "Can't say I really saw this interaction coming," he wrote.
That makes two of us, Kyle.

Last month, I spent a few days with students in the Media Fellows program at DePauw University, in Greencastle, Ind. They're mostly Midwesterners and overwhelmingly thoughtful and funny, and sometimes they smile when they don't quite feel like it because they were raised to give strangers the benefit of the doubt.

Food Profiteer Turned Food Cop

By Michelle Malkin Wednesday, May 12, 2010, 02:49 PM EDT

Let me summarize first lady Michelle Obama's anti-obesity agenda: Shed as I say, not as I gain. While she crusades for organic foods and puts government pressure on corporations to stop marketing fast food and junk food to children, Mrs. Obama herself profited from the very same processed food industry she now demonizes.

We the People in a Land of 'I's'

By Connie Schultz Thursday, April 29, 2010, 06:54 PM EDT

Parents, Just Ignore the Eye Rolling and Teach Your Kids About Sex

When it comes to memories you can't pound out of your head with a mallet, few rival the staying power of that moment when we discover how babies are made.
For me, it was really a series of excruciating epiphanies in the span of a fifth-grade afternoon in 1967.
All of us girls marched down to the school basement carrying chunky social studies books we would use to hide our very own copies of the slender Johnson & Johnson booklet titled "Growing Up and Liking It." Read more

How Mexico Treats Illegal Aliens

By Michelle Malkin Thursday, April 29, 2010, 06:50 PM EDT

Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door "to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement." But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens. While open-borders activists decry new enforcement measures signed into law in "Nazi-zona" last week, they remain deaf, dumb or willfully blind to the unapologetically restrictionist policies of our neighbors to the south.

Henry Waxman: The Witch Hunter of Capitol Hill

By Michelle Malkin Friday, April 02, 2010, 01:40 PM EDT

Has there ever been a time when 18-term liberal Democratic Rep. Henry Waxman's nostrils weren't flaring indignantly at corporate executives and entrepreneurs? The man wields his gavel over the free market like a Damoclean sword. He throws the weight of his congressional chairmanship around like a sumo wrestler walking across hot stones. For more than 35 years, Waxman has made it his taxpayer-funded business to use the power of government to undermine private business. Read more
