Bob Wojnowski: Lions 38, Browns 37
Lions' Stafford shows true grit in beating Browns
He wanted to finish it, no matter the pain or the consequences. He was going back in, no matter what the doctors or coaches said. If the story of Matthew Stafford develops as hoped, there's a pretty good chance it started right there. - 11/23/2009

Wolverines have plenty of blame to go around
At Michigan the assumption is always that each season will end with some sort of bowl destination. A bowl was among the goals this year. - 11/23/2009

The Grand Experiment: Taking a baby-sitting stand
It's a tough balancing act: Cut too much, and the best sitters will simply drop the Your Money family. Yet you need sitters smart enough to help your kid with homework, not some tween-age girls giving him plot points to the latest "Twilight" installment. Child care always is a gnarly problem, and in this case the answer is simple: Dad. - 11/23/2009

Four of the six Big 12 teams that appear in contention for the Alamo or Insight bowls, MSU's likely postseason options, have pass offenses ranked among the nation's Top 25. - 11/23/2009

There is still no alternative to oil
What city contributed most to the making of the modern world? Paris, pioneer of mass armies and nationalist statism? London, seat of parliamentary democracy and center of finance? Or perhaps Titusville, Pa. - 11/23/2009

GOP becomes party of fiscal babies
Nearly every Republican these days calls for tax cuts and lower deficits, and in the same sentence. Point out that these goals clash -- that taxes pay for government and not paying for government causes deficits, and the Republican counters, "We must shrink government, instead." - 11/23/2009

Don't choose to ignore China's forced abortions
One of the few incontrovertible assertions one can reasonably make is that no one supports forced abortion. - 11/23/2009

Steer between political correctness and profiling
I admit it. As the early horrifying news of the Fort Hood massacre unfolded and I was jerked alert by the word that the suspect was a Muslim, a thought-prayer suddenly flashed across my mind: Oh, please don't let him be black. - 11/23/2009

Finley: Is Obama out to torpedo Cherry?
The 2010 gubernatorial election may test whether Kwame Kilpatrick or Jennifer Granholm is the most toxic name in Michigan politics. - 11/22/2009

Palin wins by quitting while Granholm can't win for trying
As Gov. Jennifer Granholm made her way around the state last week, trying to tap political support for the broken Michigan Promise scholarships and her own education initiative, the state spotlight was shining more brightly on another female governor. - 11/22/2009

Fighting health reform's coercion clause
Phoenix -- In 2006, long before there was an Obama administration determined to impose a command-and-control federal health care system, a young orthopedic surgeon walked into the Goldwater Institute here with an idea. The institute, America's most potent advocate of limited government, embraced Eric Novack's idea for protecting Arizonans from health care coercion. In 2008, Arizonans voted on Novack's proposed amendment to the state's constitution: - 11/22/2009

Doubt whether Uncle Sam can cut Medicare costs
What is so wrong with the current medical system in the United States that we are being urged to rush headlong into a new government system that we are not even supposed to understand, because this legislation is to be rushed through Congress before even the senators and representatives have a chance to read it? - 11/22/2009
Clarence Page
Civilian courts fight terrorists, too
Terrorists by definition try to frighten you into changing the way you do things. In the run-up to his trial as alleged mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammed's success as a terrorist is showing in us. A lot of good patriotic law-'n'-order Americans suddenly sound frightened by our own civilian judicial system. - 11/22/2009
Charles Krauthammer
New York gets to replay 9-11 propaganda
For late-19th-century anarchists, terrorism was the "propaganda of the deed." And the most successful propaganda-by-deed in history was 9/11 -- not just the most destructive, but the most spectacular and telegenic. - 11/22/2009

Radical improvement will be demanded of Rodriguez in 2010
Where, exactly, was the improvement from the start of the season to the end? After a 4-0 start that clearly masked some of the Wolverines' ills, they didn't beat anyone other than Delaware State, which is ridiculous. - 11/21/2009
Terry Foster
It's been a disappointing season for MSU (despite win over U-M)
MSU should have won eight games. It should have stuck its nose in the Big Ten race along with Iowa and Ohio State and Penn State. - 11/21/2009
