On April 25, Spanish police, at the request of Holland's national prosecutor's office, arrested Dutch citizen Sven Olaf Kamphuis. Kamphuis will likely face charges in Holland related to what Dutch officials describe as the most extensive criminal cyberattacks in the history of the Internet. The attacks, which occurred in mid-March, overwhelmed the website of Spamhaus, a European nonprofit organization... Read more.

America has the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) and the UCP (ultimate clutch players). One is mixed martial artists, and the other is quarterbacks of the NFL. They all are athletic warriors who are extremely determined to win. My favorite in the UFC is Georges St-Pierre. My favorite in the UCP is Tim Tebow. I know what you are thinking: Tebow has been in the NFL for only three years. True, but... Read more.

Two weeks after the press partied hearty with President Barack Obama at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner, the administration admitted that federal authorities had secretly combed through phone records for dozens of Associated Press journalists. If ever there has been a reason to abolish this embarrassing display of fake camaraderie between journalists and the government officials... Read more.

So, we are to believe that it is just a coincidence that tea party groups oppose the Obama administration and for 27 months, beginning in March 2010, the Internal Revenue Service didn't approve even one tea party application for tax-exempt status? Is it also a coincidence that during the same time period, dozens of liberal organizations involved in political advocacy practically saw their applications... Read more.

The revised rule seems consistent with the voter-approved policy of treating marijuana like alcohol and therefore may be copied by other states that decide to follow Colorado down the path...

My wife sometimes talks to her clothes as if they were people. "Well. You haven't been out in a while," she'll say in late spring, looking at a pair of open-toed shoes, cooing at them as she takes them from the floor of her closet. This is not, by itself, evidence of a slipping grip on reality. My pickup truck is named "Evangeline." Plenty of people have involved conversations... Read more.

Last week, I spoke to students at Grosse Pointe South High School in the suburbs of Detroit. This is the same place where Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his historic speech in March 1968, three weeks before he was assassinated. In his speech that day, King talked about "The Other America" and painted a grim portrait of the economic disparity that separated black America from white America. Here... Read more.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The room is very large and full of the usual exercise equipment. There are treadmills and stationary bikes, weight machines and even a climbing wall. About a dozen chairs are scattered around the edges of the room. As I enter, six people are sitting there. They have four legs between them. There are usually children around. The first time I came here, shyly watching from the... Read more.

It's impossible to predict the lasting impact of the controversies now besetting the Obama administration, but the risks to the president's agenda are sizable. On the legislative front, they could doom the already cloudy prospects for comprehensive immigration reform. The implementation of President Obama's health care law is also likely to be a bit more challenging. It's possible, too, that this... Read more.
