Trade and globalization--when not referencing blockbuster sports transactions or raucous street protests, debates over these abstract terms can give Ambien and Jack Daniels a run for their money as a cure for insomnia.

The Constitution is very clear on how the United States must go about making commitments to other nations. Every such accord must be ratified by a two-thirds majority of the Senate in order to take effect. This, specifically, is called a treaty.

It's rare that The Daily Show devotes eight introductory minutes to one gag, but Jon Stewart's Glenn Beck impersonation — while it doesn't have that earnest fake-acty evangelical tone quite right — was clearly remarkable enough to deserve the airtime. Gawker's favorite parts are "references to old and discredited texts, the Founding Fathers, transparently phony stabs at nonpartisanship,...

"The idea of a NAFTA-EU trade zone is absolutely a case of wishful thinking on the part of the EU. They’re crazy if they think they can replace Russia with Canada and plunder our resources. Canada has many layers of impenetrable bureaucracies and it takes years of negotiating with aboriginal chiefs before you can stick a shovel in the ground in any remote area. The EU will have a Muslim...
Excerpt from the book by Scott Conroy and Shushannah Walshe. THE OVERPOWERING SMELL OF cheeseburgers and French fries saturated the candidate's suite at the Philadelphia Westin Hotel. About a dozen staffers shuffled around the table set up in the middle of the room where hundreds upon hundreds of five-by-seven-inch note cards were spread out in two-foot-high stacks. Palin had been locked in there for...

I've had another one of my strange dreams ... I'm afraid it's an occupational hazard that comes with being an incurable news addict. I dreamt that a political analyst from Mars dropped by the studio - and this is what he told me: "I have been studying your system of government here on Earth, and frankly, I can make no sense of it. I look at the maps, and I observe that you have divided your planet...

Mike Elk couldn't have been more right in his thinking about what Martin Luther King, Jr. would have thought of the Teabaggers, Birthers, etc. He would have seen that those faces that at first glance seem twisted in anger are really twisted in pain. He would recognize those faces as well as the source of the fear and anger distorting them. It's not about adopting their politics, compromising our own,...
