Twenty Years After the Fall By George Friedman We are now at the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe.

Times: The Golden State isn't worth it
THE CALIFORNIA FIX The Golden State isn't worth it Our high-benefit/high-tax model no longer works, especially compared with low-tax states like Texas. By William Voegeli In America's federal system, some states, such as California, offer residents a "package deal" that bundles numerous and ambitious public benefits with the high taxes needed to pay for them.

But if you're Ann McElhinny and Phelim McAleer this week it's not a malady, but a desired condition.

By Joshua Rhett Miller Tuesday, October 13, 2009 A New York bicycle cabbie who last year used his Web site to mock the beheading of journalist Daniel Pearl posted a prayer calling for the murder of Jews and exhorting Muslims to “throw liquid drain cleaner in their faces."
