Santorum: Wrong on pornography
I can understand if Rick Santorum wants to prosecute pornographers on the grounds that explicit fare encourages non-marital sex, promotes the use of birth control or saps vital fluids. I would think he's off-base, but he'd at least have a plausible case....Tags: Pornography

The California gay marriage verdict
I've long been on record in favor of allowing gays to marry. So you'd think I'd welcome the federal appeals court ruling that the California ban known as Proposition 8 violates the Constitution. But I don't. In fact, I think it will only help the...Tags: Gays and Lesbians, Proposition 8 (California, 2010), Republican Party, Family, Same-Sex Marriage

The 'danger' of inhalable caffeine
There's a scene in Season 4 of "Friday Night Lights" when Matt Saracen says that thanks to living above a coffee shop, he gets a caffeine buzz just breathing as he walks up the stairs. Old girlfriend Julie Taylor says it's impossible to inhale caffeine....Tags: Chuck Schumer

Does fiscal stimulus work?
When liberals address the apparent failure of the 2009 fiscal stimulus package, they take one of two tacks. One is to say things are better than they would have been without it. Another is to say it wasn't big enough, because Republicans wouldn't agree to...Tags: Politics, Employment, Republican Party, Employment, Government

Obama's contraceptives-for-Catholics
The Catholic Church is up in arms over an administration mandate that will force Catholic colleges, hospitals and charitable groups to cover contraceptives in the health insurance they provide for students or employees. I think the administration is in...Tags: Health Treatments, Health Insurance, Charity, Christianity, Birth Control

Who would be Romney's running mate?
Mitt Romney is making good progress toward winning the Republican nomination, and if he stays at it, he'll soon have to start considering his first big decision as the GOP standard-bearer: His running mate. This process is often unpredictable, but this...Tags: Politics, John McCain, Mitt Romney, Tea Party Movement, Republican Party

Steve Chapman: Weiner's confession and apology
Anthony Weiner behaved like a prize idiot in sending out risque photos of himself to women he didn't know, and he compounded that giant mistake with his brazen lying about it when it came to light. But give the guy credit: When he decided to confess and... -
Was Obama a law professor?
In my column today, I say that Barack Obama was a "law professor," eliciting objections from some readers who say he was not. On this, I defer to the University of Chicago, which says unequivocally that he was. For 12 years, Obama had the title of Senior...Tags: Teaching and Learning, Lawyers, Crime, Law and Justice, Justice System, University of Chicago

Newt Gingrich gets mad
Newt Gingrich, who went from leading in Iowa to finishing a distant fourth, got walloped again in New Hampshire, taking less than 10 percent of the vote. He's not a candidate who could break out as soon as people take a good look at him. His problem is...Tags: Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich

The value of the Iowa caucuses
Iowa may be "too white, too evangelical, too rural" to be a good representative of the U.S. electorate, as NBC's Andrea Mitchell puts it. The caucuses, requiring a big commitment of time, may also be an awkward proxy for a real vote. Some people think the...Tags: Herman Cain, Politics, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich, Democratic Party

A mildly encouraging jobs report
Any progress on the employment front is good news, and the mild growth reported in December qualifies. Maybe the economy is finally beginning to roll again. Unfortunately, it's still in first gear. We're going to feel as though we're in a recession for...Tags: Labor Markets, George W. Bush

Newt Gingrich's biggest problem
Newt Gingrich performed well in last night's debate. He was calm, focused, and knowledgeable, and he gave what the Fox News audience wanted to hear about President Obama. He defended himself reasonably well, though not very persuasively, on his...Tags: Newt Gingrich, Republican Party, Barack Obama, Freddie Mac
