...Franken: God Spoke, by Nick Doob and Chris Hegedus, is most interesting in revealing the similarities between standup comedy and campaigning: in both venues, the speaker needs to charm his listeners and stir them to applause (the manual version of voting). Franken is a serious guy with irresistible comic impulses. The tummler in him can?t understand why a top politico would advise him not to tell his favorite joke - one by Buddy Hackett, about a penis growing out of a man?s forehead - on the campaign trail...
...other pro-Israel writers. The false charge was that I found several quotations—by Mark Twain, Lord Peel, and others—in a secondary source, but cited them to the primary sources in which they originally appeared.

But it’s not arcane terminology that attracts her to the craft. “Printmaking is a meditative activity,” says Wong, an aspiring neurologist and self-described laid-back Californian. “It takes a long time to do something relatively simple...
...detainees held by the military, the McCain bill requires they be treated in accordance with the high standards codified in the Army’s Field Manual on Intelligence Interrogation. But the administration is amending the Field Manual, including attaching a secret annex that reportedly permits highly coercive techniques. The Graham-Levin-Kyl amendment, which restricts judicial review for suspects held at Guantanamo, makes independent review of these techniques even more difficult...
