    But much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney”.

Where it comes from

Blend of global + baloney. Coined by American writer, politician, ambassador, journalist and anti-Communist activist Clare Boothe Luce in 1943 to disparage the recommendation of then-Vice President Henry Agard Wallace that airlines of the world be given free access to US airports.
