From the Press of Atlantic City:
Property-tax rebates / Reform vs. gimmick
Published: Thursday, April 24, 2008
A little time travel to the recent past:
Remember just one year ago, when state lawmakers were touting property-tax rebates of 10 to 20 percent for most state taxpayers as permanent property-tax reform?
Remember when they shelved or watered down dozens of tough measures to rein in the cost of government in favor of what some considered a gimmick - a gimmick subject to the vagaries of the economy and politics?

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Sarah Palin's new book reprises familiar claims from the 2008 presidential campaign that haven't become any truer over time. Ignoring substantial parts of her record if not the facts, she depicts herself as a frugal traveler on the taxpayer's dime, a reformer without ties to powerful interests and a politician roguishly indifferent to high ambition.
Palin goes adrift, at times, on more contemporary issues, too.

Twenty Years After the Fall
By George Friedman
We are now at the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall and the beginning of the collapse of the Soviet empire in Eastern Europe. We are also nearing the 18th anniversary of the fall of the Soviet Union itself. This is more than simply a moment for reflection — it is a moment to consider the current state of the region and of Russia versus that whose passing we are now commemorating.
