The first paragraph is reportorial diplomacy for "he's an inconsiderate ass."

You won't be seeing anything on this list in 2010. From Saturn cars to the Dodge Durango to Prescriptives makeup, they won't return next year. And who knew Oscar Mayer died this year?!?!

With a hat tip to Dan Riehl, this is too funny. Having been subjected to one of these tortuous C-SPAN interviews, I can attest that a large number of the calls felt very scripted and trollish. In fact, you were guaranteed that the bulk of the calls to the Republican line were people who started off with "Hi, how you? My name is Dan. I used to be a Republican until you guys started an illegal war in Iraq and began spending so much money. Now I'm a Democrat and want socialized health care, damn the deficits it'll cause. And why do you like to kill babies, but oppose abortion?" That's typical of a C-SPAN caller.

Must have. In fact, I will have an Apple Slate. But please, for the love of all that is decent and holy, please don't precede the name with the letter "i". That's so 2005.

Behold the power of a communist dictatorship that can just snap its fingers and build things without regard to supply, demand, cost, and the free market. Hey, sounds just like what the Democrats attempted in the stimulus plan!

Beautiful as always.

Why should we be surprised or upset by this? The Obamas are not, to my knowledge, Christians and typically only Christians go to church on Christmas. At least he's not trying to pretend anymore. Good for him.

That's really awesome.
Merry Christmas

The Gospel of Luke 2:1-20
In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. (This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) And everyone went to his own town to register.
So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,
When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”
So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.
Hallelujah, the King of Kings Shall Reign Forever

Excellent op-ed. By the way, Lew Uhler tells me the Politico changed the title from its original, which more appropriately castigated the GOP for waiting until the last minute to fight.

Awesome.

Yep. I've decided. Instead of going back to Atlanta, we're going to go here.

You go do your Napa wine tasting sissy tours. I aim for a golf outing along the Bourbon Trail.

Never trust wikipedia when it comes to most political and environmental issues — particularly environmental issues.

Wow. Probably a good thing they've banned hand guns in DC. This could really enrage some people. Note to Media Matters: not condoning it. Deal with it.

Everybody else has to post their posts using my screen name. It's all the rage these days, at least at Andrew Sullivan's group(ie) blog.
