...assembled its screen with more than the usual amount of duct tape and staples showing. If they couldn't agree on politics, they could agree that John McCain is a patriot. They could rally to the conservative dog-whistle of low taxes and free enterprise. They could match the audacity of hope with the audacity of a thrice-married New York City mayor pretending to be horrified by the "cosmopolitan" Obama. They've won seven of the past 10 presidential elections, and as battered and tired as they are, they still know how to get up for the championship game...

They may also discuss a proposal to set up a commission of unbiased historians to examine the murders of Armenians...
...state tuition. For decades, it was the one advantage big state schools had that even the Ivy League couldn't match, in terms of recruiting the best and the brightest to their campuses. But these days, that's no longer necessarily the case. Starting this September, some students will find a Harvard degree cheaper than one from many public universities. That is, of course, if they...
