...McCain, Nancy Gibbs writes, ?Google her name plus trophy wife, and you?ll get something like 18,000 hits.? Actually, you get 21,600. But I don?t know just what this is supposed to indicate. If you Google ?Michelle Obama? and ?trophy wife,? you get 23,600 hits. Frank Wershing, Dingmans Ferry, Pennsylvania...
...scariest letters in sports are ACL--as in an anterior cruciate ligament tear, probably the knee injury that ended quarterback Tom Brady's season on Sept. 7.

The promotion provided Obama with a larger office and a salary higher than that of most other senior lecturers. It became a platform for him to plot his bigger moves - including eventually leaving academe entirely for politics...

As Thomas Frank describes in his book, “What’s the Matter with Kansas?”, this narrative has become so powerful that it has come to trump nearly all policy considerations: Voters who might be expected to support the policies of the Democratic Party are driven into...
