O.J. Simpson lawyer Johnnie Cochran and friends want to file a big-bucks, class-action lawsuit seeking reparations for slavery. On what legal grounds, against whom, on behalf of whom, and in which court? The attorneys haven’t figured out those pesky details yet....

If Indians want to reap multi-million-dollar profits from casino gambling, they should be required to shed their legal status as societal victims and compete on a level playing field. Savvy tribes, armed with lawyers and lobbyists, are targeting non-tribal lands in...

One of my favorite bands, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, recently penned an ode to “Californication.” The term refers to the spread of the Golden State’s worst attributes: smog, strip malls, drive-bys, and celebrity worship. “It’s understood...

Windmills and candles and warm woolen mittens. Staticky sparks from the fur of small kittens. Campfires and solar panels and thermal paddings. These are a few of the favorite things that radical environmentalists would rather rely on for warmth, light, and electricity...

Everything I learned about the Amish, I learned from the old Harrison Ford movie, “Witness.” Members of this pacifist religious community don’t use electricity or listen to music. The women wear bonnets. The men drive black buggies. Thanks to...

Conservatives have been at the forefront of defending Microsoft’s intellectual property rights, but are reluctant to criticize Napster for fear of seeming anti-technology and pro-government. Don’t be intimidated by the cyber-mob. Napster is about...

When will the high and mighty hermits on the U.S. Supreme Court get over themselves and get with the 21st century? Unlike the judiciaries in 47 states, the highest court in the land still refuses to allow its hearings to be televised. Thanks to snooty traditions,...

Stanley “Tookie” Williams was nominated for the 2001 Nobel Peace Prize this week. His supporters call him “wise,” “compassionate,” “well-read,” and “wide-eyed like a child.” So just what are Tookie...

If you thought the public uproar over George W. Bush’s use of an expletive last [month] was big, imagine the national horror he would have provoked if he had said he was against offering any new Medicare benefits for the elderly. Al Gore wants to throw $250...

The GOP Revolution of 1994 now seems as quaint and distant a historical event as the American Revolution of 1776. Congressional Republicans pledged “to bring to the House a new majority that will transform the way Congress works.” The Contract With America...

She is one of the most self-serving, hate-filled, race-obsessed politicians in America. The Democratic Party doesn’t just embrace her. It kneels at her feet. Los Angeles Congresswoman Maxine Waters reigned supreme when Democratic vice-presidential candidate Joe...

The Mashantucket Pequots are in trouble again. And with the new controversy, an old question resurfaces: If an Indian tribe isn’t really Indian, why does the federal government allow it to take advantage of special programs, legal exemptions, and enormous...

Grab a bag of popcorn and get out your hankies. This one’s a real tear-jerker — for taxpayers, that is. Movie theaters are shutting down all across America. The stock prices of major multiplex chains are plummeting. Cinema companies are declaring...

Vice President Al Gore — Mr. Environmentalism, Mr. Encyclopedic Mind — went blank during the second presidential debate this week when challenged on one of the most alarming land issues facing the nation. Highlighting the difference in their approaches to...
