...players participating in this year’s program include Dallas D. Clark and Anthony E. Gonzalez of the Indianapolis Colts; Jason P. Taylor of the Miami Dolphins; Patrick W. Kearney, John D. Carlson, and Olindo F. Mare of the Seattle Seahawks; and Brandon Moore of the New York Jets. The Seahawks and Colts are the most heavily represented teams, with four players each...

At its core, vicious-circle politics isn't an assault on liberal solutions to hard problems; it's an assault on any solutions to hard problems.

Speaker after speaker commended the volume, a favorite of Glenn Beck's, and though it is far from Skousen's most extreme statement, with...
...Shalit has been an insane sticking point. On the evening before Clinton's speech, Recep Tayyip Erdogan - the Prime Minister of Turkey and an erstwhile ally of Israel's - was cheered when he raged against the conditions in Gaza, calling it "an open-air prison."
