A tale of two countries and two parties: one going forward, the other going backwards:

Obama readies push for faster U.S. internet access

In advance of next week's State of the Union address, no one can accuse President Obama of pushing a stale agenda lacking new ideas.

In a YouTube video released by the White House on Tuesday, President Obama speaks to the importance of fast broadband Internet service, and announces his intention to make it accessible to more Americans as a means by which to strengthen the U.S. economy. "One of the things that I'm going to make an early announcement about this week," Obama says in the video, "is the issue of getting faster broadband."


Rand Paul looks to 'dissolve' the United Nations

As the 2016 presidential race starts to slowly take shape, one of the background questions has focused on Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.). The question isn't whether he intends to run -- it seems pretty obvious that he will kick off a campaign -- but rather whether the Republican senator will temper some of his more eccentric instincts.

Paul, by any fair measure, is one of the most prominent conspiracy theorists in American politics. I've generally assumed, however, that he'll tone down his more colorful views in order to appear more like a mainstream candidate and less like a fringe ally of Glenn Beck and Alex Jones (which the senator is).

It was of interest, then, to see Paul express support yesterday for dissolving the United Nations.
