Traveling to a dictator-ruled disaster area is not everyone's dream vacation, but enough people visit Burma to inspire a Lonely Planet guide. What are the ethical arguments for and against such a trip?
The media narrative on the primaries in Indiana and West Virginia hinted at racism as the reason why Obama lost. There are plenty of Hoosiers and Mountaineers who won't take that charge lying down.

Ruben Navarrette Jr. recently argued that there is a double standard against Mexican flags at rallies in the U.S. But the real double standard is another: punishing immigrants who follow the law and rewarding those who do not.
Wikipedia is billed as the world's largest encyclopedia, but is it also the world's largest propaganda tool for smearing conservatives and promoting leftist views?
No longer simply a question of grabbing for the power and the glory, Hillary Clinton continues to push herself with one eye on the present and another on history.
The long primary season has severely depleted his liquor cabinet, but Vodkapundit's Stephen Green had just enough left to fuel a zany analysis of Tuesday's big WV primary.
Some of the explosives used against U.S. forces are so sophisticated that they must have originated in Iran. Relatively rare pictures obtained by PJM show their effects on American forces' vehicles.

Democrats are hoping that 2008 will be another 1992, producing a new, young, charismatic president. But the GOP will do its best to replay 1988 instead.

SO IF THE REPUBLICANS ARE IN TROUBLE, WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE SO HAPPY? I'm at the NRA Convention in Louisville, Kentucky. I haven't been to a big gun event in probably a decade, and the change in mood is striking: People are, well . . . not ebullient, really, but noticeably cheerful and confident.
