Ordinarily, I am supposed to focus on national, large-scale issues in my articles for The Collegian. But this week, my attention was forced to isolate its focus squarely on the University of Richmond. And given the problems posed by what I shall dub the "Great Pothole Disaster of 2010," I would not be surprised if the State Department is called in soon to address the situation anyway.

It has the largest circulation of any newspaper in America. It is consistently listed among the most widely disseminated papers in the world. It has received 33 Pulitzer Prizes and started publication in 1889. As you can see, The Wall Street Journal should need no introduction - except maybe on the University of Richmond's campus.

Last April, I wrote an article, "The dangers of populism," in which I decried the growing populist sentiment welling up in the form of the AIG bonus controversy. I wrote that our country was succumbing to an "out-of-control populist bonfire." How naive I was. Far from being full blown, the fire was still in the kindling stage. Now, almost a year later, we can lay claim to a fully robust bonfire.

It's that time of year — time to offer up some more green solutions for the University of Richmond's campus!

Talk about a 52 pickup for the Democrats. It wasn't too long ago, in the aftermath of Barack Obama's historic 2008 victory, that the word "mandate" became inculcated into our national psyche. We were told that America had sent a message to the Republicans: conservatism was out and liberalism was in.

In 1853 Herman Melville ended his renowned short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener" with the famous line: "Ah, Bartleby! Ah, Humanity!" In 2010 I find myself wanting to scream a similar stentorian declaration mdash; admittedly different in substance, but comparable in style: "Ah, Obama! Ah, Transparency!"

The raging health care debate and infatuation with the struggling economy has given the Obama administration the opportunity to cleverly ensconce some of its other policy initiatives.

At one particularly notable point during President Obama's much-ballyhooed speech on health care last Wednesday, he said, "If you come to me with a serious set of proposals, I will be there to listen."

I was supposed to be writing about Health Care this week. After my rebuttal in the last issue of The Collegian, I was hoping to lay the blueprint for a conservative, free-market solution that avoided a public option. Alas, my well-laid plans were dramatically torn asunder when I woke up Saturday night as a victim of what is perhaps the next great pandemic. A victim of the dreaded H1N1 virus? Nope, the legendary bed bug.

In last week's Collegian I was unsurprised to see a timely article on America's current hot-button issue: health care. Unfortunately, I found Dan Colosimo's letter to the editor, titled "Health care - the right solution," to be riddled with hyperbolic emotional appeals buttressed by a concerning neglect of rigorous research.

During the last couple of weeks, our country seems to have fallen victim to an out-of-control populist bonfire. In lieu of the now infamous AIG bonus conundrum, every Washington politician equipped with a tongue, seized the opportunity to mercilessly pillory the AIG employees who were beneficiaries of these bonuses. Even Barack Obama proved vulnerable to the temptation by decrying AIG's "recklessness and greed."

Barack Obama campaigned on the pledge that only the very top group of income earners in America would see tax increases under his leadership. As recently as a few weeks ago he reiterated his promise by again declaring that the bottom 95 percent of income earners would not see their taxes raised by "a single dime."

The day after last year's presidential election, I was scheduled to meet with one of my professors about an academic paper. Our mutual interests in politics led to a spirited discussion concerning the election results of the previous night. Given my role on the Spiders for McCain group and authorship of numerous conservative columns in The Collegian, the professor correctly diagnosed my disappointment about the final election tally. As a supporter of Obama, she set about attempting to reassure me that everything would be all right. At several points in the conversation she told me, "Jarrett, Obama is NOT as liberal as you think he is." Stubbornly skeptical, I merely suggested that only time would tell.

The first few weeks of the Obama presidency have been marked by both triumph and embarrassment. From the left's perspective, Obama triumphed in enacting a gargantuan spending bill that is supposed to pull our economy out of its current doldrums. The passage of this bill marked the first of what liberals hope are many legislative victories for the new administration. The embarrassment came in the form of several high-profile nominees and their inability to pay taxes properly.

After taking the United States off the gold standard in 1971, Richard Nixon uttered his now infamous and oft-mocked saying, "We're all Keynesians now."
