...struggle with the commandment Republicans have chosen as the one needing the full force of government sanction: Thou shalt not lie. I know honesty is the best policy, but I've been known to try the second-best policy when I have to justify the fact that the Christmas tree isn't up or that I haven't watched every minute of the historic debate TIME magazine pays me to cover...

In Layton, Utah, a thief absconded with a Salvation Army kettle, then collected all day on his own and pocketed the take. A Grinch in Madison, Wis., made off with 10 van loads of toys donated by the Marines. Meanwhile, a student in Frostburg, Md., so liked the tree that stood alongside the police station that...
