I read with interest The Washington Times' August 12 editorial, "It's a jungle (aka rain forest) out there," which discusses "Securing Rights, Combating Climate Change," our recent report with the Rights and Resources Initiative. Published August 15, 2014
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Impeach Holder, not Obama
The Times recently ran two items about impeachment. One was former judge Andrew P. Napolitano's op-ed, "The smoking gun of Obama's lawlessness" (Web, Aug. 6), and the other was a cartoon showing House Speaker John A.

EDITORIAL: Congress’ earmark-ban loophole
Congress prefers not even to talk about earmarks, and when forced to the wall by public opinion it does as little as it can to prevent the savings of billions of dollars. Congress likes to spend other people's money. Published August 14, 2014
EDITORIAL: Hillary embraces Obama — at arm’s length
The guests at Ann Jordan's 80th birthday party hadn't felt such exquisite anticipation, when Hillary Clinton arrived to join guests including President Obama, since the junior-high sock hop, where the boys sheepishly congregated on one side of the gym and the girls on the other, everyone waiting for someone to break the ice.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: National suicide more important than actor’s
The nonstop coverage of actor Robin Williams' untimely death has grown tiresome. Published August 14, 2014
LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Muslims must take back reputation
The radical jihadist Muslim who rapes, enslaves, kills, dismembers, decapitates, crucifies, starves and buries alive women and children, cuts children in half, puts heads on poles, puts bombs in shoes and vests and hangs Christians on cranes is giving the majority of peace-loving Muslims a very bad name indeed.

EDITORIAL: Begich and the Tea Party test
Sen. Mark Begich is pressing his luck. The Alaska Democrat is running this fall for re-election to a seat that he won by being in the right place at the right time. Published August 13, 2014
EDITORIAL: Steyer’s crony plan’s return on investment
The billionaire hedge fund owner has pledged to raise $100 million in campaign funds over the next few months to save the Senate for the Democrats, presumably because the earth can't possibly survive without Harry Reid at the helm. Published August 13, 2014
EDITORIAL: It’s not inequality, stupid
Decrying income inequality is growing more popular with the shrill voices on the left as their policy nostrums, including the stimulus that didn't stimulate, have left crippled the economy, with more than 40 million Americans looking for jobs. Published August 12, 2014
