THOMAS: The lady was a champ
The lady Thatcher was a champ. MANCHESTER, England -- There is a story about Margaret Thatcher, which is probably apocryphal, but speaks volumes about the strength of Britain's first female prime minister, who died Monday at age 87.. Following her election in 1979, the story goes that Thatcher took her
CEPEDA: Unfortunately, we are what we eat
Unfortunately, we are what we eat. CHICAGO -- People don't know how to eat right. Almost from birth, the food we take in and the way it is marketed conspire to make us addicted and even sick. As a result, all but a few of us will face an early
CLINE: Marelle inspires, even at the national level
Joe Marelle's inspirational story of his battle with cancer found a new, and national, audience this past weekend at the Final Four.
THOMAS: Gun laws and human nature
Gun laws and human nature. In 1983, when President Reagan ordered the deployment of missiles in Europe as part of his "peace through strength" strategy to counter the Soviet Union, the very liberal town of Takoma Park, Md., declared itself a "nuclear free zone."
PARKER: Red carpet-bombing to save the girls
The striking juxtaposition of the preternaturally perfect Angelina Jolie, waifish and wispy in a ghostly gown, and the scrappy Pakistani schoolgirl Malala, her face cruelly misshapen by the effects of a Taliban bullet to the head, captures the confluence of feminine power assembled here to "lean on" the world to
O'REILLY: Zombies vs. Jesus

HUCKABY: I enjoy a cup of Joe — despite the risks
My youngest daughter --the one called Danger -- was having a conversation with her boyfriend, Jonathan. Perhaps it was a discussion, rather than a conversation. Maybe even a debate. I think argument might be a bit too strong.. I wasn't eavesdropping. This debate was right out in the open --around
YARBROUGH: Skeeter Skates not impressed with ethics reform legislation
When the phone rang, I knew who was on the other end: Skeeter Skates, owner of Skeeter's Tree Stump Removal and Plow Repair in Greater Metropolitan Pooler. I can't tell you exactly why but the phone always sounds more urgent when Skeeter calls.. One thing about Skeeter Skates. He gets
MCCULLOUGH: Keep up cancer fight
I was leaving my doctor's office the other day when a cancer patient got on the elevator with me.
ROBINSON: Is this the best the GOP can come up with?
WASHINGTON -- I think I've figured it out. Republicans must be staging some kind of fiendishly clever plot to lure Democrats into a false sense of security. That's the only possible explanation for some of the weirdness we're seeing and hearing from the GOP.
CEPEDA: Hollywood still doesn't get it
Unbelievably, the entertainment industry's dearth of ethnic diversity and surplus of stereotypical Latino portrayals have devolved into something unsettling. We've gone from seeing poor representation in films and TV shows to wanting that diverse characters be played by people of the same ethnicity.. My recent compulsion to do a name
THOMAS: School for scandal
My first question after reading about seven teachers in an Atlanta public school accused of altering standardized test scores to make it appear students performed better than they actually did was: How could they!?. The seven were nicknamed "the chosen" and, according to Georgia state investigator Richard Hyde, the less
CLINE: You've got to have faith
It's not always easy, but sometimes you have to trust the process and keep putting one foot down after another.
THOMAS: Why do liberals fear success?
There are many successful liberals, so why do so many of them wish to subsidize failure for the poor, instead of showing them how to succeed? Take Dr. Ben Carson, as one example.
KRAUTHAMMER: What really happened in Jerusalem
