U.S. Secretary of State

We want our progress to be transparent and want our partners to ask us hard questions. They can expect that we will do the same.

The other image Brown has carefully pursued is that of the last moderate Republican standing. But this is also hogwash, and it is the job of Warren and the press to dispatch that claim. If I were questioning Brown, here are some of the questions I'd ask.

Jimmy Carter, 10/01/12

39th president of the United States

The act of building, of renovating, of coming together cements a bond not easily undone. When we bring together available resources, take decisive action and advocate for lasting change, we build the kind of stability, that Haiti -- and we -- need.

Mitt Romney's problem, other than saying something offensive to 47 percent of Americans every few days, is that he's running in the wrong party. Sounds crazy, but here's why.

It surely isn't happening in this election cycle and may not happen in the next one, but Republicans could be reaching the end of the line on gay marriage and some conservative activists are even beginning to admit it.

Arianna Huffington, 09/30/12

I'm delighted to announce that today we launch JobRaising, which will help job-creating nonprofits raise money, raise awareness and help put Americans back to work.

From the start, Bain Capital had support from the government. We all built that. Just don't ever mention that in public.

Mitt Romney's at it again -- shading the truth on CBS News' 60 Minutes. He's perpetuating the false Republican narrative that President Obama should have gotten more done during his first two years in office because he had a supermajority in the Senate.

Michael Hogan and Christopher Rosen, 10/01/12

Hey, Mike: Another week, another favorite? "Life of Pi" premiered at the New York Film Festival on Friday and thrust itself into the Oscar conversation with the force of a Bengal tiger attacking a villainous hyena

I've been reporting on the MEK for The Huffington Post since last summer, and members of the group have threatened my house and hacked my email. Still, I believe the State Department's decision Friday to remove the MEK from the list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations was a good one.

Richard Hayes gets to work at 6 each morning to keep the neighborhood beautiful. He works a second job late in the day. He is just one of the many workers who Mitt Romney doesn't see and doesn't respect who are toiling long and hard in his community to provide vital public services.

James Franco, 10/01/12

Actor and author

I am usually drawn to work that deals with the world of mass consumerism and popular culture. I find myself very attracted to work that uses the flashy opacity of fast food and modern living to critique and examine the way we live now.

David Paul, 10/01/12

President, Fiscal Strategies Group

The Romney that poked his head out of the ground last week was not the Romney that Republican activists presumed that they nominated. We saw glimpses once again of the Romney that once was -- and that Romney's primary opponents long warned against.

Gary Hart, 09/30/12

President, Hart International, Ltd.

Whether consciously or not, in deciding on a president we are really trying to decide who will protect our trust, the public trust, by standing on principle when the chips are down.

Edward Falzon, 10/01/12

Author, 'Being Gay Is Disgusting' (a biblical parody)

As long as we condemn a video before we condemn a violent reaction to it, we'll always be bestowing power upon those who wish to pass the kind of anti-blasphemy law being pitched at the UN.

1. Mommy is on the phone right now, so let's entertain ourselves quietly.

When did I start? I'll spare you the details. Why do I do this at all, you ask? It's different and new. It's chilly! And for these reasons.

Cenk Uygur, 10/01/12

Host, 'The Young Turks'

Here's my new favorite fact: whoever is leading two weeks after the last convention has never relinquished the lead in the last 15 presidential elections. It's way past two weeks since the last convention and President Obama doesn't have a small lead, he has a huge lead.

As gay parenting is the central subject of the show, The New Normal is (whether I like it or not) a landmark show, and how Murphy defines "the new normal" will matter to same-gender parents everywhere.

As in past years, the presidential debates on Wednesday are not designed to provide concrete or detailed policy proposals. But, at the least, we want to see more from our two presidential candidates than pandering to voters with baseline moral arguments around fairness and justice.

No one wanted DIVX. It was just a wish list from the studios. But you can see why they tried it. "I get everything and you get nothing" isn't much of an proposition, but it's worth a shot. Mitt Romney's the same offer, in political terms.

While the iPhone 5 release is a devastating flub for Apple it's a fantastic opportunity for the rest of us.

Five big things will decide what this country looks like next year and in the 20 years to follow, but you're not going to hear about them in the upcoming presidential debates. And yet, on those five subjects, a little reality would go a long way.

Republicans' reaction to last week's Monday Night Football debacle was record-breaking given their decades of hating on union workers.
