A solution to the latest ‘mommy war’ Mar 12, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: Yahoo's CEO Marissa Mayer is one rare bird. But should she be? She crashed the glass ceiling and we're upset that she made a mess?
Killing the messenger as a tactic Mar 6, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: The Obama White House is, to put it politely, fudging as it tries to place the onus of the sequester on Congress. And, as has become customary, officials are using the Bob Woodward spat to distract attention.
Michelle Obama’s wings Mar 3, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: Those aren’t bangs covering Michelle Obama’s eyebrows. Those are butterfly wings.
Droning on about feelings Feb 26, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: Sensitivity training, alas, is one of the many legacies of our sundering of the family, which has led necessarily to greater dependence on third parties to instruct and order. We are unlikely to hear much about that in the next government diversity seminar and, soon enough, there will be none left to recognize that there is something wrong with this picture.
Time for a RINO rebellion Feb 22, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: What has become glaringly clear is that RINOs need to stop being so normal and grant their better angels a sabbatical. Forget taking back the country. Start by taking back your party. Do it for your country.
50 years later, the mistakes of the ‘Mystique’ Feb 19, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: Fifty years later, Betty Friedan's movement has reached full adulthood and, one hopes, is seeing a shrink. Among lessons gleaned from the couch is that maturation requires recognizing our mistakes and our own roles in unwelcome consequences.
The ghosts of Benghazi Feb 13, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: We may never know exactly what happened in Benghazi the night Ambassador Christopher Stevens and three other Americans were killed, but it's becoming increasingly clear that our response was short of optimum.
Four ladies from Burma Feb 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: It takes courage to put one foot in front of the other, much less to become an activist in Burma, as Zin Mar Aung and her colleagues have done.
Combat women and Congress’ wimps Feb 6, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: Polling that shows Americans favor women in combat by 2-to-1 is evidence only of the power of misinformation. And, yes, indoctrination.
From I don’t to I do Feb 4, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: David Blankenhorn’s personal transformation has resulted in a welcome shift in the public debate about gay marriage. How clever of him to recognize that his allies in strengthening marriage are the very people who for so long have been excluded.
The sirens of the Pentagon Jan 28, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: Ground combat is one area in which women, through quirks of biology and human nature, are not equal to men — a difference that should be celebrated rather than rationalized as incorrect.
Proudly confessing Jan 24, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: Stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, his Olympic medal, ousted by the foundation he created and facing multiple lawsuits, Armstrong has fallen just about as far as one can. It seems enough.
El futuro habla espanol (The future speaks Spanish) Jan 21, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: The new year began with an avalanche of Republican retrospectives: What went wrong? What must the GOP do? In attempting to navigate my own thoughts, I keep bumping into advice my father gave me a long time ago: "Learn Spanish. You will need it to survive in the world you will inherit."
Guns without roses Jan 16, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: I grew up in a home with guns, lots of them, and was taught early how to shoot, care for firearms and treat them respectfully. My father's rules were simple: Never point a gun at someone unless you intend to shoot them; if you intend to shoot, aim to kill.
Changing channels Jan 11, 2013 12:00 AM
Of plots and clots Jan 7, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: The new year began not with a cannonball off the fiscal cliff but with an outbreak of conspiratorial cynicism. This time it's Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose fall and concussion, followed by a blood clot between her brain and skull, have prompted an embarrassment of theories. The gist: That woman will do anything to avoid testifying about Benghazi.
Things better left unsaid Jan 1, 2013 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: 'Tis the season when columnists write mea culpas, make predictions and list their resolutions. Since my culpas are too vast for this tiny space, my predictions best in retrospect and my resolutions inevitably ignored, I thought I'd list a few resolutions for the rest of the world.
Print’s longtime passing Dec 30, 2012 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: I have forced myself to think of the last print edition of Newsweek magazine as a transition rather than yet more evidence of The Death of Print.
Through a lens, lightly Dec 25, 2012 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: In today's world of social media, where everyone's every little thing is on display, it is sometimes difficult to recall a time when exhibitionism wasn't ubiquitous and was, in fact, not admired. Such are the inevitable thoughts upon perusing Kitty Kelley's lovely new book about John F. Kennedy as seen through the eyes of photojournalist Stanley Tretick.
America’s reluctant First Father Dec 14, 2012 12:00 AM
Columnist Kathleen Parker: One of my great hopes for a Barack Obama administration — and thus one of my personal disappointments — was that he would use his bully pulpit to emphasize the importance of a two-parent family, and especially of fathers, to children's well-being. Few understand better than the president the value of a present and involved father.
