Reason Saves Cleveland With Drew Carey is an original Reason.tv documentary series that aired the week of March 15-19, 2010. Featuring sitcom legend, Price Is Right host, and proud Clevelander Drew Carey, each roughly 10-minute episode investigates and analyzes the problems that turned Cleveland from the nation’s sixth-largest city in 1950 into today’s “Mistake By The Lake.” Like all too many American cities, Cleveland seems locked into a death spiral, shedding people, jobs, and dreams like nobody’s business

Moorfield Storey, the great libertarian lawyer and activist, was born on this day in Roxbury, Massachusetts in 1845. Here’s a little from my 2007 profile of his life and accomplishments: A fierce critic of imperialism and militarism, Storey was a founder and president of the Anti-Imperialist League, which opposed U.S. annexation of the Philippines after the Spanish-American War and counted Mark Twain, Andrew Carnegie, and President Grover Cleveland among its members.

The latest—though likely not the last— Congressional Budget Office score for the Democrats health care overhaul is in, and after a harried week, it’s making Rep. James Clyburn, the House Democrats’ whip, “giddy.” What’s worth squealing about

According to leading journalists like Thomas Friedman of The New York Times , what President Barack Obama needs is a single, one-sentence explanation for his blizzard of initiatives and laws. Editor in Chief Matt Welch would prefer if journalists spent more energy telling us how a crucial piece of legislation might affect American life and public policy than on how the president might most effectively sell it to the skeptical sheeple.
