...offering many short-term fixes. Pew pollsters re-released data that showed that about twice as many Americans pick the economy as the most important issue (44 percent) than choose the Iraq war (24 percent).

In an election year when so many Americans are getting their news from nontraditional sources, Twain is the godfather of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert as well as the comic voices who influenced them, from Lenny Bruce to Richard Pryor to Kurt Vonnegut...
