No project has consumed more of my time at The Heritage Foundation than the redesign of Heritage.org. What started in fall 2008 and progressed through all of 2009 and the beginning of 2010 finally arrived today with a big splash. The modern look and improved organization of Heritage’s wealth of content are getting positive reviews.

When it comes to Facebook, what’s more important: Having a large network of “friends” whom you don’t know? Or a smaller well-connected group of individuals with whom you have real relationships?

A year ago at The Heritage Foundation’s President’s Club meeting we began an exclusive lunch for the under-40 crowd.

Sometimes there’s just no time to blog. That was the case over the course of the past week when I gave two presentations about new media, spoke to an American University class about conservatism, moderated a discussion with Mary Katharine Ham and took part in a focus group on the future of the GOP. There [...]

Just how important are taxes in the 2008 election? So important that Barack Obama has resorted to lying about The Heritage Foundation in an attempt to intentionally mislead and misinform voters.
I’m talking about Obama’s new ad, “Try This,” which you’ve probably seen if you live in a battleground state. The ad is airing on TV [...]

This week has certainly been one of the most educational for me since joining The Heritage Foundation. I’m fortunate to work with intelligent people who fully grasp what’s happening with our financial markets. One of them is JD Foster, who took a few minutes this afternoon to explain the credit crisis.
