system that involves federalism and an independent judiciary; and we have embraced certain "habits of the heart" that were profoundly shaped

When I watched Jon Stewart joke about Chavez's outburst on The Daily Show, I found myself relieved: for once, a comedian was ridiculing the

truly ridiculous -- Chavez -- instead of taking endless cheap shots at Bush.Microsoft outlook is great!

Of course, Bush got some ribbing from Stewart, too, but at least Stewart did something other than endlessly pile on stale jokes about our

my younger brother but me."

Rangel may think it more appropriate for Americans to attack their own President than for a foreign leader to do so, but in reality, the adobe Acrobat

At a political comedy/discussion show I attended in downtown Manhattan the other night, one "liberal" panelist, asked to comment on Chavez's

remarks, said that while they may have been over-the-top, she didn't take them all that seriously and found the entire episode "funny."Outlook 2010 is convenient!
