…reject reality. This story is running on the front page of the Los Angeles Times website: A nakedly-partisan propaganda piece on an Obama supporter, who has made it “her personal mission” to see The One re-elected. It is full of unchallenged myths about Obama and flogs the Historical First Black President who is being thwarted, not by his own incompetence but by Nasty Mustache-twirling Republicans in top hats, spats and

I know. Ramesh Ponnuru — who has such great hopes for Romney conservatism (he’s The One! The new GOP lightbringer!) — will be devastated. But it is what it is — and fortunately for us, people other than the Romney “electability” brigade are paying attention, and find no great comfort in a nominating philosophy that promises not to consider political leanings. Listen: I understand the rhetorical appeal of pretending that

A: Steve Kroft, who somehow managed to do an entire interview with the President without speaking — or at least, without speaking about Solyndra, Congressional calls for Attorney General Holder’s impeachment, the MF Global scandal (and in particular, the role played by top Obama fundraiser Jon Corzine), or Elena Kagan’s involvement in the legislative guidance of ObamaCare before her appointment to SCOTUS. Though in his defense, Kroft did manage to

And who better to wish us all season’s greetings than the late lamented Anna Nicole Smith, who gave us her very own unique take on English to learn and enjoy [originally published between 2004-2006]…?

I’m tempted to talk about the irony of kids taking out student loans to enroll in a class that will “study” why irate college grads who can’t get jobs are camped out in tents complaining about the amount they owe on student loans, but then I think, no, let’s let whole thing play itself out as a piece of cultural performance art and see if anybody involved in the enterprise

Another new standard set! Historic! When all is said and done, you haters are going to have to accept that, five years after he’s sadly forced by a flawed document to leave office, Barry O makes it into the Hall of Fame on the first ballot. He’s a game changer, is our Barack. Who’s leaving his mark all over the record books. Like Barry Bonds, or Roger Clemens. Deal with

Squid, in the comments to my post on MF Global: Let me see if I’m understanding this correctly — Obama/Pelosi/Reid quadruple the federal deficit, so that Washington can push more taxes. Holder “loses” 2,000 rifles to Mexican drug cartels, so that Washington can push more gun control. Then Corzine “loses” a billion dollars of Other People’s Money, so that Washington can push more finance regulation. Am I the only one

From his show last evening [click over to The Right Scoop to listen to the audio]: There’s only one way this country can be saved, with a conservative! And it’s high damn time that so-called conservative pundits, and conservative outlets, and conservative websites, and conservative magazines start acting their role! And I don’t just mean in their fundraising appeals, how conservative they are, but I mean use their intellectual power,

…and then, in the spirit of the season, please send them along to pw regulars, BJTex, Sgt York, and donald — and to James Joyner of OTB. As some of you already know, BJTex has had a bit of a setback in his battle with a brain tumor. But as always, he’s maintained his good spirits. To contact him, email me for his info, or email Danger Dave, who can

Final day today! Last chance to buy yourself some cheap grace and seasonal good will! Go for it. You know you want to. Coda: Once again, thanks to all of you who’ve contributed to what’s been a long, strange trip, covering 10 years, a few wars, the mass dissemination of smartphone technology, and the whole sordid rise and fall of Lindsay Lohan. And probably some other shit that I can’t
