NATIONAL COLUMNS
Susan Estrich: An exciting gateway
Leonard Pitts: What was the IRS thinking?
Kathleen Parker: IRS, AP scandals bring tea partyers, 'lamestream media' together
Breaking news: Conservative organizations suddenly have found common cause with one of their favorite objects of contempt -- the benighted Mainstream Media.
Rheta Johnson: Why we should all love Willie
After learning from Internet "news" that real pearls feel gritty to the teeth and sago palms are poisonous to dogs, I decided to play a little music. I can't handle the information age.
Leonard Pitts: Ignoring the real while fighting the imaginary
It should've been the shot heard around the world. Chances are, you didn't hear it. An ominous sort of history was made last week near Austin, Texas, but it seems to have largely escaped notice. There was some media coverage, yes, but less than, say, Lindsay Lohan's latest stint in rehab, certainly less than you'd think for something whose ramifications will likely shadow us for years.
Kathleen Parker: Yes, Ted Cruz is Hispanic 'enough'
Enough with this "enough" business. Latest to the question of whether a person is sufficiently identifiable as belonging to a particular demographic is Ted Cruz -- the conservative Texas senator who happens to be of Hispanic descent.
Leonard Pitts: Running from life
Kathleen Parker: Prude or prudent? The debate over access to Plan B
Susan Estrich: The drunk guy in the parking lot
Froma Harrop: Legal pot means more for states, less for gangs
Thomas Sowell: Words that replace thought
If there is ever a contest for words that substitute for thought, "diversity" should be recognized as the undisputed world champion.
Susan Estrich: A gay man in the NBA
Froma Harrop: How to get fit without really trying
We may not have time for exercise, but there's always time to read about exercising. And while the motivation to exercise may not be tops, the motivation to shop for "aids" to exercise seems forever strong.
Leonard Pitts: Collins scores for gay rights
Rheta Johnson: Why Carol matters
In childhood, summer vacation was synonymous with Florida. One year, in a slight departure from fishing the state's central lakes, we visited the winter home of the circus in Sarasota.
Leonard Pitts: A little humility may be in order
This is for the rest of us. Meaning the ones who don't have personal chefs, gift-wrapping rooms or hired sycophants, who don't hobnob or rub shoulders, and who drive the same car every day of the week. The rest of us would like to offer some of you a little advice:
Kathleen Parker: Bush's legacy is more than Iraq
In a reprieve from the horror of the most recent terrorist attack, the nation's attentions turned to the man who declared the war on terrorism, George W. Bush.
Kathleen Parker: Forgiving a cheater requires spousal permission
As the reporter said to the novelist: Why bother to make stuff up? For stories and characters, one needs only a pair of walking shoes in this city, where recent attentions have turned to two salacious stories.
Kathleen Parker: The terror of not knowing
As the manhunt for the Boston bombers reached its climactic conclusion, Americans of all hues and backgrounds heaved a sigh of relief.
Froma Harrop: Free the 'work beasts'
We who work through colds, bad backs and low moods -- however liberal we might be -- have permission to resent those who could hold a job but don't, preferring to collect disability checks unto the decades. You see them at the coffee shop, refilling their cups in leisure, or even pumping iron at the gym.
