Tom Ricks on President Obama: “The most important line in President Obama’s speech was, ‘The hard truth is we have not seen the end of American sacrifice in Iraq.’ But he should have explored that more, because I don’t think Americans understand how much longer we will be involved there.

Hang in there, with the new law and once the economy picks...

Sedona's ST.com contributing writer, Gripe Guy, and fan Hi Folks! This past year has been rough for me. I went on unemployment, left Colorado, moved to Sedona, got a job and finally, quit the new job. I struggled with the new Sedona job for weeks, and finally decided that if I learned anything from working in Colorado, it was to follow my gut instinct. For years I worked at a job in Colorado...
