“Atlas Shrugged: Part I,” which opens April 15th, is a movie unlike any other.

Facing historic losses in the midterm elections, President Obama took to urban radio to reassure his base and whine his case. He said he does not get enough credit for all he has done.

College kids have an excuse for being indignant about free trade. They’re largely ignorant–young idealists who’re still learning about the real world.

The alternatives may be prostitution, starvation or crime. (more)
