A chimney fire in the U.S. Capitol the morning before Christmas in 1851 destroyed much of what was then the Library of Congress, including about two-thirds of Thomas Jefferson’s book collection.

Most agrarian collectivist revolutionaries — Robin Hood, Emiliano Zapata, even Thomas Jefferson — never had to swing a broadsword in ersatz Tolkienville.

Today, Jared Taylor for Gilbert Town Council released his campaign introductory video, which gives insight into who he is as a person and his plan to bring economic development to Gilbert.

Mike McClellan’s commentary (Dec. 19) was so full of inaccuracies and blatant lies that I felt compelled to respond.

Dick Cheney, it turns out, is No. 2. And we're not talking in terms of who runs the country. America's second-in-command accidentally shot a 78-year-old man while hunting farm-raised quail.

"These are the times that try men's soul."

Thomas Jefferson is getting around a lot more than he used to these days. No, not the third president. He died in 1826. But the $2 bill which bears his picture is undergoing a surge in popularity and nobody seems really sure why.

Carol McGinnis: A travesty of justice has gained great and wide acceptance in our nation and has turned our country away from the original intent of our Founding Fathers. The phrase "separation of church and state" is not, and never has been, in our Constitution.

A free-speech group has issued a censorship "award" to the Arizona License Plate Commission for refusing to issue a "choose life" plate.
