Entitlements: The "Most Predictable Economic Crisis in History"
It’s not just libertarians and conservatives who recognize that there is a problem. Writing about federal spending last week, I shared five charts illustrating how the process works and what’s causing America’s fiscal problems. Most importantly, I showed that the ever-increasing burden of federal spending is almost entirely the result of domestic spending increasing much faster than what would be needed to keep pace with inflation.

Yesterday’s Crimes: The Disappearance of the African-American Klansman
An African American man who was Idaho's grand titan of the KKK for a day took a brief, unexplained trip to San Francisco in 1965. In early 1965, Paul Bellesen, the owner of a cleaning service in Nampa, Idaho, sent $15 to the National Knights of the Ku Klux Klan of Stone Mountain, Ga., vowing to establish a new Clavern in his town. A short time later, Bellesen received his signed Klan membership card in the mail — along with the surprising news that grand wizard James. R. Venable had named him Idaho’s new “grand titan” of the KKK. When Bellesen first wrote the Klan asking to join, he told them he was with the Nampa Elks Club. He didn’t mention that he just worked as the club’s janitor — or, that he was African American.
