India Trying to Help Debt-Ridden Airlines the Wrong Way?

Two wrongs don't make a right. India's beleaguered aviation sector needs a boost. But letting airlines avoid punitive state taxes by directly importing fuel isn't smart. Some tax is necessary to pay for environmental costs.

Facebook IPO: Should Users Get a Cut of Zuckerberg's Billions?

Each day Facebook serves as a procrastination tool for students struggling to write papers, office workers stranded at their desks, and social media junkies getting their fix. But what if posting on Facebook was your job? What if users made money based on all the content they generated for the interactive Internet community?

President Obama Just Doesn’t Get It

From the Left, All Other Views Appear as 'Ultra-Right'

As I view various news programs, I wonder if they're reporting on the same universe. How can any event, presented as something so obviously good by one network, be reported as being so sinister by another? How did it get so crazy?

Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum: Republican Groundhogs

Groundhog Day is upon us. Up in Punxsutawney, Penn., the famous prognosticating groundhog Phil may see his shadow this year. We could be in for six more weeks of winter.
