Television personality and author Art Linkletter, who died last year at 97, had a favorite saying: "Kids say the darndest things." Today, it's economists. According to the National Bureau of Economic Research, the recession began in December 2007 ended in June 2009. Meanwhile, eminent economists such as Thomas Sargent at New York University and Christopher Sims at Princeton, who recently were jointly awarded the Nobel economics prize, have studied the effects of systematic policy shifts that cause continued shocks throughout the economy which suggest that the recession is still with us.
It's over. Finally. After millions of dollars of campaign ads and the incessant din of pundits coming through our televisions, the election is over. Now that the dust has settled, and we've elected a new set of leaders, I have to ask a question: "So What?
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 /PRNewswire/ -- The nation's largest coalition of first responders and catastrophe experts said today that America remains unprepared for and unprotected from a financial calamity if a Katrina-like natural catastrophe strikes the United States. The solution, according to ProtectingAmerica.org, lies in the enactment of a comprehensive catastrophe protection plan like that envisioned in the Homeowners Defense Act of 2010. When it comes to shoring up the financial system that stands behind homeowners, communities and insurers, we are no better off than we were when Katrina struck. Indeed, given the global economic conditions, we may even be worse off than we were five years ago," according to James Lee Witt, former Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F...
We've been through a lot together, and we've accomplished a great deal, but the only reason to look backward is to best determine who to lead us forward, and that's what I'm here to talk about. We've done a lot but there is more to do to move America forward. We've got more to do to create jobs, more to do to improve our schools. We've got more to do to fight terror.

Make Democrats face reality To the editor -- The Sept. 19 letter to the editor, "Problems with GOP," is actually a great example of why a person should vote for the most conservative candidate in the next election. A party whose members habitually seek to synthesize their opposition of the other party into bigoted statements born of an absolute ignorance of reality deserves to be voted out of office.

Move America Forward also acts as a proud clearinghouse for myriad other anti-Moore sites, of which there are many. Stealing a riff from Moore's recent best-seller, Moorelies.com poetically declares that "[Michael Moore] is a big fat stupid white man." That's also the title of a book the site is producing to stop Moore's "anti-American" actions. Moore Watch claims to spy on "Michael Moore's every move," but c'mon -- that's simply not possible. Even though it states that Moore is "a disingenuous danger to this country," Moore Watch has very little to offer other than blog entries aiming to undermine the filmmaker. The best they come up with, however, is to refer to him with the diminutive "Mikey. [Michael Wilson] is actually likeable, in an icky, America-fight-or-flight kind of way. In ...
