A bump in the road

Countering one irritant after another

Saturday, Oct. 3, 2009

Speed bumps are a minor irritant of American life. Now there's another, more major irritant - drivers who honk when they come to one.

Czarist Washington

America is beginning to look like 16th century Russia

Saturday, Sept. 19, 2009

No question about it. The number of "czars" in government has proliferated under President Obama and has provided a rallying point for his Republican opposition.

Health care hijinks

How Dems can get upper hand in debate

Saturday, Sept. 5, 2009

Congress is returning to Washington and President Obama's health care overhaul is in trouble thanks in large part to the noisy misinformation spread at town-hall meetings while lawmakers were on their August recess.

MCFEATTERS: Sri Lanka at peace

Tamil Tigers are run to ground, roar no more

Saturday, May 30, 2009

After 16 years and 70,000 dead, one of Asia's longest-running civil wars has come to a bloody end. In a relentless campaign since January that alone produced 8,000 civilian dead and 265,000 refugees, the government forces of Sri Lanka pounded their nemesis, the Tamil Tigers, into half a square mile on the northern coast before overrunning the remnants of a once-lethal guerrilla army.

MCFEATTERS: High hopes and high mileage

Road map for smaller, less-safe cars or more imports

Saturday, May 23, 2009

It was, to use a current Washington cliche, a kumbya moment. Standing with President Obama in the White House Rose Garden for his announcement of new fuel-efficiency standards were auto-company executives, lawmakers and governors, regulators, industry defenders and critics and environmentalists.

MCFEATTERS: Race car called 'Chery'?

Or generic rather than General Motors

Saturday, May 16, 2009

The great American sport of stock-car racing may be contemplating a future in which there aren't any American cars to race. This is so embarrassing.

MCFEATTERS: Pontiac's engine dies

An icon of American mobility leaves the scene

Saturday, May 2, 2009

General Motors Corp. is doing more than trashing an American automotive icon by folding Pontiac. It is messing with my personal automotive history, and I don't appreciate it.

MCFEATTERS: Games need cut in ticket prices

If you bill them too much, they just won't come

Saturday, April 25, 2009

The 1989 film "Field of Dreams," about a baseball field carved out of a cornfield, gave us the phrase "Build it, and they will come." New Yorkers figured if that worked for the rubes out in Iowa, it would work a million times better for them, so they drew on the wildly generous New York taxpayers for $2.3 billion to build two new ballparks.

MCFEATTERS: More czars are born

A royal flush of White House officials

Saturday, April 18, 2009
