What If the CBC Were Accused of Wanting Jews Gassed

By: Dennis Prager

Imagine a Jewish Congress member accusing the members of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC) of wanting to see Jews gassed. How would any decent American -- on the right or left -- describe such a statement? Loathsome? Morally reprehensible? An obvious lie? All three descriptions would be entirely accurate. Next question: How much media exposure would that libel be given? Would it make the front page of The New York Times and The Washington Post? Would we read ferocious editorials from coast to coast? Would the story lead on TV newscasts?

Obama's jobs speech: deja vu all over again?

 target=_blank

By: Glenn Kessler

At first blush, President Obama's jobs speech Thursday night did not present many opportunities for fact checking. He did not try to boast about what he had accomplished -- given the grim economic situation that might have been a bad move -- or try to place the blame for the current situation on his predecessor. Many details about his jobs bill are still sparse. He tossed out various claims about how much Americans or businesses would receive in

Voices of 9/11 Live On in Trove of Oral and Written Histories

By: Carl M. Cannon and Alexis Simendinger

"It was Christine's first trip in an airplane," recalled her grandparents, Lee and Eunice Hanson. It was also her last. The couple had been talking about their son Peter and his wife Sue Kim and their grandbaby when Peter called on the phone. "Dad, we've been hijacked." Lee Hanson called the police, who told him a plane had hit the World Trade Center and they should turn on their television. This they did -- just in time to see United Airlines Flight 175, the flight their family was on, crash into the second tower.

Debt Hobbles Older Americans

By: E.S. Browning

More Americans are reaching their 60s with so much debt they can't afford to retire. Most people used to pay off their debts before retiring. But as wages have barely kept up with rising prices over the past 35 years Americans have pushed debt higher, living beyond their means.

Thirty-nine percent of households with heads aged 60

Morning Jay: Does it Matter that Perry Was a Democrat?

By: Jay Cost

Since Rick Perry has surged to the front of the GOP pack, questions have been raised about his past membership in the Democratic party, which ended in 1989. Ron Paul recently posted a pretty hard-hitting web video blasting Perry for having backed Al Gore in 1988, and Joe Scarborough - MSNBC's token Republican - made some snarky comments about Perry last week.
