  • Mark Steyn on the Birthers. “A true conspiracy theorist would surely believe that Obama deliberately started the birth-certificate business in order to make it easier to dismiss his opponents as deranged.”
  • A Time for Choosing, Redux. “For centrists in both parties the moment has come to decide which side of the public-private divide they want the U.S. and its future workers to be on.”
  • Can the Fed Prevent Bubbles? The new president of the New York Federal Reserve, Donald Luskin writes, “thinks the Fed should be responsible for identifying and preventing asset-price bubbles.

  • Spending Restraint? Never! “The New York Times says tax increases, not fiscal restraint, are the route out of recession. Their reasoning? Government will spend your money better than you will.”
  • Words of Warning from 1940. Herbert Hoover: “Directly or indirectly they politically controlled credit, prices, production or industry, farmer and laborer. They devalued, pump-primed and deflated. They controlled private business by government competition, by regulation and by taxes. They met every failure with demands for more and more power and control.”
  • E.J. Dionne on Obama’s Goals. Can President Obama create a new “centrist” alliance? And can a program really be called centrist if its principal aims are to make everyone more dependent on government?
  • Useful tips for writing subject lines.
