Sequester, held in contempt
WASHINGTON -- I hate the sequester, beginning with its name. "Sequester" is a verb, not a noun. This ridiculous exercise is not just unwise and unproductive, but ungrammatical as well. I hate the way the sequester diverts attention from issues that...

McManus: A call to arms for Syria's rebels

The Hartford CourantThey can shoot them with bullets. They can blast them with bombs. They can stab them with knives. They can strangle them with rope. They can burn them with fire.
