EDITORIAL: Obama's hocus-pocus 'to-do' list

MILLER: Forced to be fat

GHEI: No hope for Europe
By Nita Ghei - The Washington Times
The victory of socialist Francois Hollande in France on Sunday and the resounding defeat of the parties trying to push through bailouts in Greece amount to a clear rejection of austerity in Europe.

EDITORIAL: Destroy the economy, save the planet
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - The Washington Times

EDITORIAL: Obama's same-sex evolution
By THE WASHINGTON TIMES - The Washington Times

MILLER: Hopelessly unchanged
By Emily Miller - The Washington Times
