Reporting a Crime in Dallas Is Criminally Difficultnew
Start with 911. The phone number. You dial it. You assume you're talking to 911. Assume again. There exists an entire new government agency, heretofore unknown to the public, which shall be called "Maybe-911-Maybe-Not."

Don't Panic: What's Gonna Happen When Yasser Arafat Dies?new
Other than decomposing, the first process that Arafat's death will initiate is the one to succeed him. Arafat's is a mighty big towel to fill. So big, in fact, that his underlings have decided to get a head start by jockeying for good positions already.

Don't Panic: The Status of the International Coalition Working in Iraqnew
The president is right about it being wrong to denigrate the contributions of the courageous soldiers who've joined us in Iraq. I just wish he'd quit denigrating our intelligence by trying to convince us that the coalition is anything more than what it is: symbolic.

Don't Panic: How Long are American Forces Gonna be in Iraq?new
That question can't be answered with a date, but let's put it this way: I'm pretty sure that we're gonna be fighting in Iraq at least long enough for me to parlay this foreign policy humor column into a book deal.

Our leaders constantly talk about how important it is that other countries are free and democratic. But even though we say that, we quite often don't care what kind of government a country has, so long as they give us what we want.

'Outraged' Over Health Insurance: Gannett Should Get Real Instead
Gannett Newspapers is instituting a "Spousal Insurance Surcharge" that could cost employees up to $150 a month. The nation's largest newspaper corporation ought to channel its frustration about the high cost of health care by advocating for single-payer, universal health care.
