Rich Lowry: Don’t pardon Edward Snowden
Surely, Trump will be bombarded with bad ideas in the final days of his presidency, but pardoning Edward Snowden has to rank among the worst.
Bob Neal: The Countryman: The Will Rogers curse
“I am a member of no organized political party,” Will Rogers said, “I am a Democrat.” Rogers, whose humor eased the load for millions of folks during the Depression, was born into Oklahoma’s Cherokee nation.
