  6. Chan Lowe: The Oklahoma tornadoes

    Having spent nine years in Oklahoma, I found much about that state’s people to respect and admire—particularly their faith and their resiliency, which are intertwined in ways not understood by those who have never lived in the Bible Belt. They always seem to be given more than their share of acts of God and man to endure. It was so with their forbears, as it is now. This does not make their pain any easier, but it makes it survivable. My prayers are with them.

  9. The giant, shocking IRS scandal that wasn't

  10. Is Benghazi Obama's Watergate?

    On Monday, President Obama called the ongoing controversy over the deadly Sept. 11 attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi a "sideshow." The president accused critics of exploiting the tragedy for political reasons, and argued that his administration has been working to fix the problems that made the mission vulnerable. But the critics, including top Republicans in Congress, pointed to emails that showed the White House took part in discussions between the State Department and CIA over how the talking points describing the attack would be written, and changes were made that obscured the true nature of the attack. One GOP lawmaker, Sen. James Inhofe of Oklahoma, invoked the possibility of impeachment proceedings. Are Republicans blowing this scandal out or proportion? Or is President Obama still not coming clean with the American people? Talk about it!
