...Lilliputians always enjoy snaring a Gulliver, so many in the world will have a sense of glee that American power is not boundless. They should contain their pleasure. In one of the best books of 2005, Michael Mandelbaum of Johns Hopkins University made "the case for Goliath," arguing that a nation that usually behaves tolerably well could provide a network of security beneficial to all. In the past 50 years, the U.S. has taken the lead on everything from rebuilding Europe after World War II to saving the Asian economies from their own excesses in the 1990s...
...playgrounds everywhere. Just finding a kiddie version of Lynne Truss’ New York Times bestseller (yes, they put it on the cover twice) “Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation” was enough to make me spill coffee all over myself with glee.

This was not greeted with glee in Washington. But it should have been. One of America's top strategic interests is to get Iran to behave less like a revolutionary cauldron and more like a traditional nation-state. For the mullahs and their mad President to express a desire for a stable neighborhood is a good first step...
...Tomlin belongs in the second camp. People sing his songs a lot, often repeatedly. Specifically, they sing them in church. According to Christian Copyright Licensing International (CCLI), an organization that licenses music to churches, Tomlin, 34, is the most often sung contemporary artist in U.S. congregations every week. Since glee clubs have fallen out of popularity, that might make Tomlin the most often sung artist anywhere...
