  5. El Partido Republicano se cavó su propia fosa con los latinos

    Tras años de sermonearnos sobre no dar excusas y asumir la responsabilidad de nuestros actos, los republicanos están ahora haciéndose las víctimas. Dicen que los critican, injustificadamente, por ser hostiles con los inmigrantes y con los latinos. Se...

  7. What did Susan Rice know and when did she know it?

    We haven't heard much about the "politics of personal destruction" since Bill Clinton. But if you thought the days of mean, personal, political attacks were over, just ask Susan Rice. The campaign against her -- led by John McCain, Lindsey Graham, Susan Collins, and Fox News -- is perhaps the ugliest, and most meaningless, ever.

  9. Climate lessons from 'The Dust Bowl'

    Ken Burns' latest work, <a href="http://www.pbs.org/kenburns/dustbowl/" target="_blank">"The Dust Bowl,"</a> a two-part documentary that wrapped up Monday night on PBS, told a familiar story to any of us who read John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath" in high school, or whose personal histories are tied up in those calamitous Depression-era years when America's Great Plains states were ravaged by drought and soil erosion that prompted an exodus to California and other coastal states. I might not be here if not for that exodus -- my mother was an Okie. That is to say, she came to California as an infant in the back seat of a jalopy piloted by her father, an alcohol-abusing farmhand who like thousands of others was drawn here by the lure of seasonal work.

  12. Bigger programs, bigger boondoggles

    In mid-June, the best guessers on Capitol Hill handicapped a probable 2012 Farm Bill this way: either the Senate passes its version by the Fourth of July to push the House to act by late summer or no farm law will pass until after the November general...
