Roads, water treatment systems, and power lines all contribute to a smoothly functioning economy. They can also stimulate economic growth, increase safety, and reduce energy demand.

Dem Strategist Hillary Rosen on CNN: "This sequester has belt-tightening all over the place and I think you could argue, for appearance sake, 'Let's do this, let's do that.' There are a hundred things. I don't know that the Republican members of Congress have cancelled all of their Spring Break 'codels,' as they call them, the boondoggle trips that they take. That would also be an appearance thing.

Don't want to promote "Islamophobia," doncha know.

Romney’s mid-1960s high school years...

This story involves one man’s personal family tragedy, a conservative talk radio host…and McDonald’s. And now the Tea Party and a Chicago chapter of the NAACP are banding together to protest against WVON-1690-AM, “The Talk of Chicago.” Lenny McAllister has been a conservative talk-show host on WVON-AM. He’s also been a mentor to 21-year-old Jentri Casaberry. Casaberry took time off from his McDonald’s night manager job to be at the bedside of his premature son during the final hours of his life. The baby died in just the first week of life. Casaberry says McDonald’s then fired him for not...

The total was about half the amount disbursed in the previous year, though more than in 2007-08. The expenditures fall into broad categories of community outreach grants, charitable contributions, and payments for services rendered. In this list, EIA has deliberately omitted spending such as media buys, or payments to pollsters or consultants that have no obvious ideological component. The grants range from $2.125 million to a California...

Senior citizens are no longer allowed to pray before meals at the Port Wentworth’s Ed Young Senior Citizens Center near Savannah, Georgia.
