Former Vice President Al Gore.

EDITORIAL: Music for the polar vortex

Everyone (well, nearly everyone) has been wondering whatever happened to Al Gore, and whether he's still in the global-warming business. We can reliably report that yes, he is.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: We need a common tongue

Robert Vandervoort clearly demonstrates a consequence of our lack of a common tongue ("Out of many, one official language," Commentary, Feb. 21). It's bad enough that a student at a state-funded college is unable to attend classes where her fellow students speak English.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Past behavior indicates future actions

If history and facts have shown that persons with criminal records are more likely to commit crimes, under what sane guidelies should a business ignore such warnings in the name of equality ("Some members of civil-rights panel accuse EEOC of overreach on racism," Web, Feb. 20)?

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Unfit for the job

Secretary of State John Kerry has been everywhere geographically but nowhere diplomatically. His record in one year has comprised failures not only in the Middle East but internationally, including the Pacific theater. He is either naive or does not appreciate the dynamics of foreign policy and diplomacy.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Executive orders are an integral Obama tool

Presidents have long abused their powers by circumventing Congress with executive orders, which could be construed as unconstitutional in many cases. Presidential executive orders began with Herbert Hoover, proliferated with Dwight Eisenhower and have become commonplace presidential instruments. Over the past 60 years, approximately 3,200 executive orders have been enacted: 1,830 by Republicans and 1,370 by Democrats.

EDITORIAL: Union thuggery in Philadelphia

Burning down a church strikes most Americans, including dissenters and nonbelievers, as a crime beyond comprehension. But the FBI last week provided the evidence to charge 10 members of a Philadelphia ironworkers union with torching a Quaker church.

EDITORIAL: Socialist Venezuela runs out of money

Venezuela once exported more oil than almost any other country. Now it can't even keep the lights on. A nation rich in natural resources scrambles to find enough toilet paper.

EDITORIAL: The FCC’s great government newsroom intrusion

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has bestirred the sleeping media to the threat to life as we know it. The FCC wants to embed government researchers on newsroom floors to track how newspapers, radio and television stations select stories and cover the news.

Environmentalists say the delta smelt population has declined because state and federal water pumps suck in and kill smelt, which usually spawn in the delta's upper reaches in spring.

EDITORIAL: A fishy drought in California, made worse by a smelt

President Obama's traveling golfing circus and global-warming revival played California's San Joaquin Valley last week, where he used the worst drought in decades as a backdrop to shill for his magic elixir guaranteed to cure warts, relieve irregularity, conjure water and expand government spending. He correctly blames man for the drought, but it's not the men in pickup trucks or astride John Deere tractors.
