Democrats Impede U.S. on Energy
They should drop their objections and let new off-shore oil drilling proceed.
By Rick Santorum
Posted: Thursday, July 31, 2008
Every politician knows Americans want relief at the pump for their own sake and the sake of the broader economy. The Senate's continued inaction on this issue provides an insight into how the two parties hope to appeal to anxious voters and, more important, how they view high energy prices.

The Decline of Joe Klein
A good political columnist gone wrong.
By Peter Wehner
Posted: Thursday, July 31, 2008
In my recent exchanges with Joe Klein, I made the point that blogging was harming Klein because it allowed his unfiltered rage to make its way into print (so to speak), thereby embarrassing him and Time magazine. Klein responded with a blog post offering... more unfiltered rage. I sense a pattern developing.

Obama In Iraq's Quicksand
By Peter Wehner
Posted: Wednesday, July 30, 2008
To listen to Barack Obama attempt to explain his views on Iraq and the so-called surge is becoming, for those of us who have followed his responses over the last 18 months, something of a spectacle. With every effort, it seems, he is compounding his mistakes in judgment with intellectually dishonest answers, ones which melt away under even minimal scrutiny.

Converting England -- and Us
By George Weigel
Posted: Wednesday, July 30, 2008
"English = Protestant" has been replaced by a new equation: "English = Multiculturally P.C." Evensong is still sung superbly in King's College chapel, Cambridge; but the psalms and canticles echo amidst the real absence. Bunyan's Pilgrim has come to an even deeper slough: not of despond, but of spiritual apathy and boredom.

Just Blame America
By Peter Wehner
Posted: Tuesday, July 29, 2008
N.T. Wright is an outstanding New Testament scholar, but when it comes to making pronouncements on international affairs and especially the war against militant Islam and Iraq he ought to remain silent rather than make comments that indicate he is way out of his depth.

The Apartment
Introductory Remarks
Edited by James Bowman
Posted: Tuesday, July 29, 2008
Up until now, all of the films we have seen in this series, except for The Shop Around the Corner, have imagined love and romance to some extent in terms of class. The rich and privileged are those whose lives we -- or at least the movies -- naturally think of when it comes to romance. This is partly for the reason that I mentioned last week in connection with An Affair to Remember, namely that, with any suitor less wealthy and socially prominent than the Prince, Cinderella would lose a lot of her fascination for us.

A Closer Look at the Pope's Environmental Message
By Colleen Carroll Campbell
Posted: Friday, July 25, 2008
After months of focusing on the potential cost overruns and possible crowd shortfalls of World Youth Day in Sydney, Australia, journalists covering the event last week suddenly started praising Pope Benedict XVI's charms and rapport with the young. The change in attitude stemmed partly from Benedict's undeniable popularity: His closing Mass on Sunday attracted 400,000 people, the largest crowd ever assembled in Australia.

By Keith Pavlischek
Posted: Friday, July 25, 2008
"Presidential Candidate Obama's statements in and about Iraq in the past 24 hours have been nothing less than shameless and disgraceful." I couldn't have said it better.
