THIS WEEK - Michael Barone on how the London terror plot exposes the left, in the very same week as Ned Lamont; plus, the economic boom rolls on, liberal propaganda as a high art, and the difference between traditional marriage and gay marriage (it’s not what you think).

From “revenues” to “redeploy”, the left is quietly inventing a new language to promote their agenda.
