Energy: As gas prices hit $3.79 (and $4.20 in California), Energy Secretary Steven Chu admits he doesn't own a car. Seems he doesn't own any lights either, since he just gave a $10 million "affordability prize" for a $50 bulb. Chu says the prize — awar

Leadership: President Obama may think gasoline is the "fuel of the past," but for families facing record prices, it's very much a today thing. Unfortunately for them, Obama has no credible ideas for getting prices down tomorrow. As gas prices continue to

Energy Policy: After presidential lobbying, the Senate fell four votes short of taking a giant step toward energy independence as gas prices and unemployment rise. In the White House, everything is going according to plan. The 56-42 vote defeated a propo

Censorship: The pressure on Rush Limbaugh's advertisers is from a group that meets regularly with the White House and runs an Obama Super-PAC funded by unions. The group Media Matters acts like a lobbyist but is not registered as one. It operates in the

Energy: At a plant that makes natural-gas-powered trucks, the president proposes still more alternative-energy subsidies. The privately developed technology that lowered the price of natural gas can lower gasoline prices too. It was a tad surreal to see

Wealth And Politics: The GOP front-runner's money is a sign of his success and competence. Do voters really want another president who has earned and accomplished little? After another good-but-not-great night on Super Tuesday, Mitt Romney faces more har
