I don’t pretend to be an expert on nuclear physics, but I do fancy myself rather adroit at sniffing out political BS. And when it comes to the debate over Yucca Mountain, you can cut it with an atomic-powered laser.

If Mike Huckabee wins the Iowa caucus, that will be the best reason ever for ending the practice of Iowa being the first state in the nation to weigh in on the presidential selection process. Iowa Republicans will have proved they can’t be trusted with such enormous responsibility. In the immortal words of […]
