John Walburn of the Benjamin Franklin Integrity Project recounts Franklin as an 18th century media entrepreneur who built a newspaper network, owned paper mills, acted as a creditor and land speculator, and donated inventions to the public while shaping modern business ideals.

Charley Reese critiques the Bush presidency two years after the Iraq invasion.
