By Alan Caruba By Friday, February 10th, an estimated 500 Europeans had died from the freezing weather gripping the continent.

Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) was one of the great poets of the first half of the last century. She wrote with attention to the traditional norms of poetry, but brought a modern sensibility to her work. Her poem, "Love is Not All" is a classic. Love Is Not All Love is not all: it is not meat or drink Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain; Nor yet a floating spar to men that sink and rise and sink and rise and sink again; Love cannot fill the thickened lung with breath, Nor clean the...

The bad news is that these are the first new nuclear plants since 1978! In a nation with a growing population and increasing need for electricity to power homes and businesses, it is nothing less than insane to not include nuclear energy... Read Full Story
