EDITORIAL: Broccoli to save the planet

The White House pastry chef has had all he can take. After constant badgering from First Lady Michelle Obama about draining the cream filling from his eclairs and substituting arugula for frosting, Bill Yosses resigned. "I don't want to demonize cream, butter, sugar and eggs," he said.

EDITORIAL: Endangered Democrats racing to the exits

President Obama continues to fall in the polls, to a new low as measured by The Wall Street Journal/NBC News. Whether for his foreign or domestic performance, the public judges the president harshly.
