Bartley dinner (RLB was the legendary Wall Street Journal editorial page guru for three decades), told an anecdote that explains why governments mess up so often. During the mayoralty of Ed Koch the city tried to renovate Wollman’s skating rink, a legendary Central […]

“The European Union will collapse like the Soviet Union,” says the French politician Marine Le Pen. It is a dramatic prediction and she’s a dramatic person to be making it. Forty-five years old, she took over the Front National, the political party built up by her father Jean-Marie Le Pen.

Marine is far more presentable, more intelligent, and the French seem prepared to agree when she tells them that they have no control over their economy or their borders and must restore the sovereign state. The Front National has just won a local by-election. Opinion polls indicate that the Front is more popular than the Socialist Party of François Hollande, currently president, who does not help himself by muttering about Europe’s “regression and paralysis” as though he and the Socialists had nothing to do with bringing all that about.

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702303615304579155962427302786?mod=trending_now_1After weeks of vowing they wouldn’t cave on the president’s signature legislation, some Democrats are doing just that. Jeanne Shaheen doesn’t sound like a Democrat who just won a government-shutdown “victory.” Ms. Shaheen sounds like a Democrat who thinks she’s going to lose her job. The New Hampshire senator fundamentally altered the health-care fight on […]
