Despite assertions to the contrary and her well-received Benghazi panel testimony, the controversy over Hillary Rodham Clinton's email practices is not just an issue of interest to the reporters she wishes would stop peppering her with questions about the topic.

A striking facet of the economic downturn that started in 2008 and the "recovery" that continues today is the unprecedented slack in the American labor force.

In a scene reminiscent of "Silence of the Lambs," a brilliant doctor sits at a table casually munching on salad and sipping red wine (a nice Chianti?) while salivating over the prospect of harvesting the "tender" livers of aborted babies.

Among the nine innocents murdered at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston Carolina this past Wednesday was Pastor Clementa Pinckney. Reverend Pinckney is my cousin, and our parents lived just across the field growing up in Marion, South Carolina. Our families have remained very close over the years.
