COLUMNS
Column: A bill that doesn't pay the bill
WASHINGTON — While the House Democrats spent the week congratulating themselves for squeezing out the midnight passage of their version of health care reform, neutral observers were reminding them: You’ve left the job half done.By David Broder , November 13, 2009
Column: E Pluribus Diversity?
WASHINGTON — Government and military officials have issued statements since last week’s shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas that have nothing to do with the reality of what occurred, what is occurring and what our enemies would still like to have occur all over the United States.By Cal Thomas , November 13, 2009
Column: China's choice
WASHINGTON — One of the few incontrovertible assertions one can reasonably make is that no one supports forced abortion. Yet, coerced abortions, as well as involuntary sterilizations, are commonplace in China, Beijing’s protestations notwithstanding.By Kathleen Parker , November 12, 2009
Column: Will we salute those Muslim-Americans who stand up for us?
MIAMI — A sampling from the Web: “Why are these Muslim invaders allowed to carry on freely in this country ... protected by outreach, Obama, and PC mental illness?” “Simply put, most Muslims in non-Islamic countries have an evil axe to grind and a scurrilous hidden agenda.” “Muslims should be deported from this country! They offer nothing to Americans!”By Leonard Pitts , November 12, 2009
Column: A dad, daughter and clash of cultures
MIAMI — We don’t know why Faleh Hassan Almaleki came to this country in the mid-’90s, and it’s unlikely he’ll be able to tell us anytime soon.By Leonard Pitts , November 10, 2009
Column: The new bottled water
DETROIT — The news anchor shakes my hand. “So glad you could make it,” he says. Then he turns, still talking, and presses the nozzle on the hand sanitizer.By Mitch Albom , November 10, 2009
Column: ’80s fashion is back: How soon we forget
Oh, how easily we forget. Give the average human a little time, and we’ll soon forget that Steven Seagal was once a legitimate action star. Or that high school really wasn’t the best time of our lives. Or that a Blackberry was once either a fruit or a scent of candle at Wicks ’n’ Sticks.By Tammy Swift, INFORUM , November 09, 2009
Column: Taking wing in their honor
WASHINGTON — A couple weeks before Veterans Day, I went down to the World War II Memorial on the Mall to join Bob and Elizabeth Dole and a group of elderly soldiers, sailors, Marines and airmen from her hometown of Salisbury, N.C., who had been flown to Washington that morning to get their first view of the nation’s tribute to the troops that helped defeat Hitler’s forces.By David Broder , November 09, 2009
Column: The passion of Henry Allen
WASHINGTON — The so-called “newsroom brawl” between an editor and a writer at The Washington Post recently has been a fine distraction for the health-care-weary.By Kathleen Parker , November 09, 2009
Column: Seven days late, remembering a scary Halloween
“Hey! I thought you were going to have a spook column Saturday. I thought you would tell about the ghost that prowls the streets of Worthington. Or some such thing.”By Ray Crippen , November 07, 2009
Column: Prairie Elementary to observe Veterans Day
WORTHINGTON — Prairie Elementary will be honoring our men and women who have served or are currently serving in the Armed Forces on Wednesday, Nov. 11.By Josh Noble, District 518 , November 07, 2009
Column: What option for Afghan women?
BOSTON — It’s been 11 years since I looked through a photo album smuggled out of Afghanistan by a brave young woman. “This is a doctor,” she said, pointing to one picture. “This is a teacher.” It was impossible to tell one woman from another under the burqas enforced by their Taliban rulers.By Ellen Goodman , November 07, 2009
Column: Communism's friends 
WASHINGTON — On Nov. 9, 1989, the Berlin Wall was pulled down to the consternation of leftists, who still had faith socialism could work with the right leaders, and to the delight of conservatives, who believed that socialism and communism guaranteed mutually-shared poverty.
By Cal Thomas , November 06, 2009
Column: Justice, truth take a back seat to sending a message
MIAMI — Anthony McKinney got a life sentence for running down the street.
By Leonard Pitts , November 06, 2009
Column: A matter of responsibility and fairness
WORTHINGTON — Sometimes, there can be a fine line between reporting the news and reporting the news responsibly.
Reporting factual information is one thing. Reporting an unattributed accusation, or a rumor, is another.
