Tucked almost invisibly into an office building at Metro Center, TOSCA is Washington's leading mecca of great Italian cuisine. One of the many lures of this quiet, well-regarded eatery - which has catered to everyone from Dick Cheney to Hillary Clinton - is its lovely bar. There, amid the politicos and lobbyists who fill the place each evening, you'll find Jay the barkeep who will make you a margarita so smooth and sublime that while you may forget where you are, you will never forget what you are drinking.

In the conservative National Review, Andrew C. McCarthy opines, "With the FALN pardons, [Holder] helped foster...
...early to tell how Obama's call to service will perform when put up against other great presidential pleas of the past. Long after Kennedy, President George H.W. Bush spoke out about "a thousand points of light," and President Bill Clinton founded AmeriCorps to recruit more young people into public service. All those efforts were relatively effective, for a time. But never before has a sitting President put so much faith in new technology to make it all happen...
