If you're dying to know how the next president stands on agriculture, and specifically on ethanol, cattle and row crops, pay attention to what some prospective candidates have to say at the first-ever Iowa Agriculture Summit Saturday. So far only Republicans, no Democrats, have accepted invitations to participate in the event.

A Washington watchdog group -- the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust -- is demanding that Attorney General Eric Holder sue former secretary of state Hillary Clinton to retrieve her email correspondence from a private account during the time she was an Obama cabinet member. Any bets on whether Holder will do that before leaving office?

When liberals angrily accuse the rich of not paying their "fair share" of taxes, they simply ignore the facts. Congressional Budget Office records show the top 1 percent of income earners paid 24 percent of all federal taxes, while the bottom fifth paid less than 1 percent in the last year for which data is available.
