Like Keystone Kops arriving late to the scene of a bank robbery and collaring a good Samaritan pursuing the robber rather than the perpetrator, Haitian authorities have arrested 10 American Baptist missionaries attempting to help their earthquake-devastated country. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_free-the-baptist-10-in-haiti.mp3 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT EDITORIAL: Free the Baptist 10 in Haiti no clean 4:35 editorial,free,baptist,10,haiti 11144002 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_a-deficit-avalanche.mp3?TC=11144002&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_a-deficit-avalanche.mp3 Even more staggering than the mountains of snow in the capital are the deficits the Obama administration plans for the next decade. Huge spending increases will add about $12 trillion to the national debt for budget years 2009 to 2020. The scariest part is that these deficits are based on unrealistic budgeting assumptions; the real fiscal outlook is much bleaker. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_a-deficit-avalanche.mp3 Tue, 09 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT EDITORIAL: A deficit avalanche no clean 3:21 editorial,deficit,avalanche 11144003 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_us-public-education-overdue-for-overhaul.mp3?TC=11144003&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_us-public-education-overdue-for-overhaul.mp3 By any reasonable metric, the public education system under the political power and control of the teachers unions has failed and deserves to be condemned for its betrayal of public trust. There was a time when public education deserved the pride and support of the people. No longer. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_us-public-education-overdue-for-overhaul.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT LETTER TO THE EDITOR: U.S. public education overdue for overhaul no clean 2:25 letter,editor,public,education,overdue,overhaul 11144004 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_transparency-missing-in-government.mp3?TC=11144004&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_transparency-missing-in-government.mp3 In Thursday's Page One article "Justice IG can't probe Panther case dismissal," Justice Department Inspector General Glenn A. Fine claims he can't investigate the Justice Department's dismissal of charges against the New Black Panthers because Congress stripped him of that authority. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_transparency-missing-in-government.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Transparency missing in government no clean 2:56 letter,editor,transparency,missing,government 11144005 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_loyal-to-the-corps.mp3?TC=11144005&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_loyal-to-the-corps.mp3 A small group of German officers opposed the loyalty oath to Hitler despite great political pressure. They courageously honored and respected the moral and institutional values they represented and knew to be right. We who are Marines are proud to see that our commandant has shown similar courage in the face of political pressure to allow avowed homosexuals to become Marines. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_loyal-to-the-corps.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Loyal to the corps no clean 1:06 letter,editor,loyal,corps 11144006 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_08_change-we-can-regret.mp3?TC=11144006&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_change-we-can-regret.mp3 Can someone explain how this is change? Yes, I can explain it quite easily: Under President George W. Bush, our national debt was measured in billions. Under President Obama, it is measured in trillions. Under Mr. Bush, our national debt was 2 percent of our gross domestic product. Under Mr. Obama, it is 11 percent of our GDP.

At least 18 inches of snow lie on the ground at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, and some places were blanketed under as much as three feet. More arctic blasts this week could drive 2010 into the history books as the capital's snowiest winter ever. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_08_snowmageddon-is-nigh.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT EDITORIAL: Snowmageddon is nigh no clean 3:25 editorial,snowmageddon,is,nigh 11144008 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_07_budget-buster-express.mp3?TC=11144008&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_07_budget-buster-express.mp3 Members of Congress must feel a bit shortchanged by the amount of playtime they received during childhood. Their ongoing fascination with one of the world's most expensive model-train sets, Amtrak, otherwise defies explanation. Politicians continue to treat the heavily subsidized operation more like a prized toy than a solid business operation. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_07_budget-buster-express.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT EDITORIAL: Budget Buster Express no clean 3:24 editorial,budget,buster,express 11144009 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_03_seating-sen-brown.mp3?TC=11144009&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_03_seating-sen-brown.mp3 During the Massachusetts special election, some Democrats briefly raised the possibility of delaying the seating of Scott Brown if he were to win. Democrats quickly backed down and disavowed this threat, realizing that a backlash was building against their heavy-handed tactics. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_03_seating-sen-brown.mp3 Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT EDITORIAL: Seating Sen.

Take its continued push for new taxes on banks. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner told the House Ways and Means Committee on Wednesday that the tax should be passed because it will help recoup the "outrageous" bonuses for AIG employees. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_06_obamas-outrageous-bank-tax.mp3 Sun, 07 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT EDITORIAL: Obama's outrageous bank tax no clean 3:41 editorial,obamas,outrageous,bank,tax 11144011 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_05_pull-us-troops-out-of-haiti.mp3?TC=11144011&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_pull-us-troops-out-of-haiti.mp3 It is time to start bringing our troops home from Haiti. The earthquake is over; order is restored; the star-studded benefit songs have been recorded. When the emergency ends and reconstruction begins, the mission should be handed off to other government departments, and the fighting forces should depart. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_pull-us-troops-out-of-haiti.mp3 Sat, 06 Feb 2010 00:00:00 GMT EDITORIAL: Pull U.S. troops out of Haiti no clean 4:05 editorial,pull,troops,haiti 11144012 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_05_what-obama-might-as-well-have-said.mp3?TC=11144012&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_what-obama-might-as-well-have-said.mp3 Obama's State of the Union address reminded me of Eddie Murphy's "Saturday Night Live" Gumby skit. The president could have conveyed the entirety of his 70-minute, petulance-on-parade speech in about 70 seconds. Here is what he might as well have said: "Things were bad when I got here and maybe it's been all downhill since, but that's Bush's fault. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_what-obama-might-as-well-have-said.mp3 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT What Obama might as well have said no clean 2:46 obama,might,well,have 11144013 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_05_the-duty-to-obstruct.mp3?TC=11144013&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_the-duty-to-obstruct.mp3 During his visit to the Republicans' annual retreat in Baltimore last Friday, President Obama chastised Republicans for "obstructing" his agenda and being "partisan." Well, there are very good reasons for them to do both. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_the-duty-to-obstruct.mp3 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT The duty to obstruct no clean 2:11 duty,obstruct 11144014 http://podcast.newsworthyaudio.com/news_2010_feb_05_tebow-should-contest-tobacco-connection.mp3?TC=11144014&URL=http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_tebow-should-contest-tobacco-connection.mp3 My humble prayer is that James Dobson and his Focus on the Family organization will encourage University of Florida quarterback Tim Tebow and his mother ("Liberals tackle groups trying to sideline ad," Nation, Wednesday) to go back to Gainesville and try to remove the presence of tobacco executive Susan M.

We know that carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere and that burning fossil fuel puts more carbon dioxide into the air. We don't understand the myriad interactions between carbon dioxide and tundra, rain forest, ocean and clouds. http://c2l.media.newsworthyaudio.com/Partners/WashingtonTimes/Audio/WashingtonTimes/news_2010_feb_05_even-if-the-globe-isnt-warming-time-to-nix-oil.mp3 Fri, 05 Feb 2010 05:00:00 GMT Even if the globe isn't warming, time to nix oil no clean 2:49 globe,isnt,warming,time,nix,oil
