This is sappy, and pretty ridiculous. Dressed in a brightly colored muumuu and sunflower hat, 100-year-old Maria Soledad Sarabia Lagareta held her cane in her left hand and raised her right hand as she took an oath to become a U.S. citizen in federal court yesterday. She's been in the United states far longer than […]

There are intelligent, talented editors at newspapers across the nation, and then there's Henry Fredrick, city editor of the Taunton (Mass.) Gazette.

If you missed Andrew McCarthy's piece yesterday at National Review Online and reporter Byron York's piece today, then you really ought to check them out.
