I'm a lipstick-wearing, red-meat-eating, Diet-Coke-drinking, heterosexual, cis-gender patriotic American feminist of Sicilian and French-Canadian descent who can recite both "Who's On First?" and "Little Women" in their entirety without breaking a sweat.
Let’s repeat it together three times: Preprimary polls testing would-be presidential nominees have all the permanence of numbers written with a stick in the wet sand at the ocean’s edge just before the high tide comes in.

My wife, Cokie, and I wrote more than 1,000 columns together, but this is the first one I'm writing alone. The outpouring of affection has been so overwhelming — and heartfelt — since her passing that I wanted to share parts of the eulogy I delivered at St. Matthew's Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
It is finally starting to feel like fall here, and fall is a time for festivals, family fun and football — all events that draw our communities together.
In 2008, Esquire magazine named him one of the 10 best members of Congress, a forever principled conservative, never a party hack. And a question is whether he might be among the country's top presidents, this smooth talking, gently paced Mike Pence. It's possible, at the least, that he coul…

SEOUL, South Korea — In 1950, when Han Sung-joo was 10, shrapnel from an artillery shell lodged in his hip. This happened as Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s troops, fresh from the bold Incheon landing, were retaking this city — it would be lost and retaken again — after North Korea’s June invasion.…

Joe Biden is guilty. No, he is not guilty of breaking a law, at least as far as I know, but he is guilty of a demeaning conflict of interest detrimental to the United States, and he could easily have walked away from it. This is not just another feckless gaffe, some of which, by the way, hav…
