		<description><![CDATA[Camille Paglia teaches at Philadelphia&#8217;s University of the Arts. She&#8217;s a dissident feminist who rocketed to national prominence after her book Sexual Personae made the best seller lists in the early 1990s. She has a razor-quick mind, an acid-tongue and rapid-fire delivery. While I often disagree with Paglia, I like listening to her just to [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Before moving on to the five categories of federal spending. I want to first put federal spending into context graphically. The first chart shows the growth in nominal federal spending. Between FFY 1981 and 2008, federal spending in the states has grown 385 percent to $2.7 trillion from $567 million. Of course, the economy has [...]

Between 2007 and 2008, federal spending grew 9.3 percent to $2.7 billion from $2.5 billion. However, the growth in spending varies by state. [...]

Marriage is a &#8216;condition of life&#8217; that has nothing whatever to do with rights &#8211; it is, quite simply, the response of mortals to the fact of a mortality that is both individual and communal. As the Hebrew Bible acknowledges, we achieve [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Like millions of others, I&#8217;ve admired the essays anonymously published in the Asia Times under the name &#8216;Spengler&#8217;. Spengler is a polymath, perceptive and clearly illumined by Biblical faith. His insights into culture and history &#8211; and his ability to transcend both &#8211; indicate a &#8216;universal mind&#8217; of which there are so few today. Well, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[As we&#8217;ve seen in previous posts, Woodrow Wilson was impatient both with natural law and the untidiness of a limited government of separated powers and, indeed, with the entire disheveled business of politicking itself. He was deeply influenced by the &#8216;dirtiness&#8217; of the Tilden-Hayes compromise in the election of 1876 and felt at the time [...]
