Tuesday, January 17, 2012 Arianna Huffington: On Wednesday, I'll be speaking at the winter meeting of the United States Conference of Mayors in Washington. The juxtaposition between our national leaders and our local leaders has never been more stark. On a national level, we're paralyzed and polarized -- and the chance, at least for the foreseeable future, that any innovative thinking or meaningful change will be coming out of Washington seems laughable. That's why I believe the solutions the country is so desperately looking for are going to come at the local level -- from our mayors and engaged citizens working with their communities. It's our cities, not the nation's capital, that are the real idea factory of our country. It's from any house on your street not the House of Representatives where projects that will make your community a better place to live in are more likely to surface.

America has only two types of citizens: millionaires and those who shortly expect to be millionaires. The result is we admire money and project onto the wealthy characteristics they don't possess. And putting those people into the White House is a grave mistake. |  | Marty Kaplan: Tim Tebow Is Jewish
You can check whether Tim Tebow is Jewish (he's not), just like you can check whether Barack Obama was born in America (yup); or whether the earth is 6,000 years old (nope). Tim Tebow ain't Jewish, but journalism ain't stenography. |  | Anne Campbell: How To Crash A $400 Million Cruise Ship
