		<description><![CDATA[This past week I finished N.T. Wright&#8217;s The Challenge of Jesus: Rediscovering Who Jesus Was and Is (1999). It helps the reader examine the actions and words of Jesus from the perspective of his contemporaries, an undertaking Wright calls &#8220;The Quest for the Historical Jesus.&#8221; Once the singular &#8220;vocation&#8221; of Jesus is understood from the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My first read of the new year is Richard Brookhiser&#8217;s Right Time, Right Place: Coming of Age with William F. Buckley Jr. and the Conservative Movement (2009). It provides a surprisingly candid account of life in the National Review bubble. I recommend it to conservatives, intellectuals, aspiring writers, history buffs and political junkies who will [...]]]></description>

There are more than a thousand comments about him on the Commercial Appeal website, which drew viewers from around Tennessee and the nation, linked by the Drudge Report, the Huffington Post, and countless political blogs.

I urge you to research the issue and decide if this is really something we want, or need. Here&#8217;s a related article I wrote that appeared in the June issue of the Main Street Journal:

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a common saying about a failed socio-economic model that goes something like, &#8220;it&#8217;s great in theory&#8230;&#8221;
Really? If it&#8217;s such a great theory, why does it always result in such disastrous consequences?
Isn&#8217;t the very basis for determining the value of any given theory its ability to prove valid in actual practice? Otherwise, any crack-pot theory [...]]]></description>

Rep. Frank is the one who in July 2008 assured us that government-sponsored mortgage lenders Fannie and Freddie were &#8220;fundamentally sound&#8221;  and would be [...]]]></description>
