The Washington Post is the largest and most circulated newspaper in Washington, D.C. It is also one of the city's oldest papers, founded in 1877. It is widely considered to be one of the most important newspapers in the United States due to its particular emphasis on national politics, and international affairs, and being a newspaper of record. Even so, the Washington Post has always been defined as a local paper and does not print any editions for the outside region beyond that of the D.C., Maryland, or Virginia editions for daily circulation. The newspaper is published as a broadsheet, with photographs printed both in color as well as in black and white. Weekday printings include the main section, containing the first page, national, international news, politics, and editorials and opinions, followed by the sections on local news (Metro), sports, business, style (feature writing on pop culture, politics, fine and performing arts, film, fashion, and gossip), and classifieds. The Sunday edition includes the weekday sections as well as several weekly sections Outlook (opinion and editorials), Style & Arts, Sunday Source, Travel, Bookworld, Comics, TV Week, and the Washington Post Magazine. Beyond the newspaper, the Washington Post under its parent company of The Washington Post Company is involved with the Washingtonpost.Newsweek Interactive and Washingtonpost.com. In 1889, John Phillip Sousa composed on behalf of the newspaper "The Washington Post March", which later became one of the most famous march music pieces. Perhaps the most notable incident in the Post's history was when, in the early 1970s, reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein began the media's investigation of Watergate. This contributed greatly to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. In later years, its investigative reporting has led to increased review of the Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

1. Most Want Health Reform But Fear Its Side Effects : Ceci Connolly and Jon Cohen
June 25, 2009
A majority of Americans see government action as critical to controlling runaway health-care costs, but there is broad public anxiety about the potential impact of reform legislation and conflicting views about the types of fixes being proposed on Capitol Hill, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
Most respondents are "very concerned" that health-care reform would lead to higher costs, lower quality, fewer choices, a bigger deficit, diminished insurance coverage and more government bureaucracy. About six in 10 are at least somewhat worried about all of these factors, undersco... (read more)

Articles posted in both the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post confirmed that, despite government efforts to keep people in their homes, banks have resumed their ramp up in foreclosures.

Dr. Bryan K. Hickman INTRODUCTION
The Autobiography of Booker T. Washington. In these pages, I wish to cover Booker T. Washington’s life story.

February 23, 2009
If we talk of the early 1970’s, people did not bring into use the home alarm monitoring, but as the days passed by people started getting more concerned about making their homes secure.

9. Gerry Rosberg
February 18, 2009
Gerry Rosberg was pre-ordained for greatness following his graduation from Harvard College in 1968. Here he developed a fondness for the written word and the rolling printing presses in the hallowed halls of The Harvard Crimson. Not content with an undergraduate degree of such esteem and bound by the centripetal force of Harvard Yard, Gerry Rosberg further burnished his resume with a stint at Harvard Law School. Here, he was further able to satiate his appetite for writing by serving as Supreme Court Note Editor of the Harvard Law Review.
After law school, Gerry Rosberg served as a clerk... (read more)

11. The Inauguration of Barack Obama - a/k/a Barry Soetoro
January 17, 2009
Twenty two percent of the United States voted for Obama in the general election. John McCain drew a little under Obama’s tally so that means that 78 percent of the nation either voted for McCain or did not vote at all. With all the hype about the Obama inauguration it seems safe to say not everyone is perfectly thrilled with the choice the 22 percent has made. Let’s see.
The sycophantic gushing of the liberal media goes on in full splendor in spite of the accusations that they threw in with Obama early on and as one commentator often says “the liberal media became the other Obama headquar... (read more)
