- A music teacher is under fire for removing the word “gay” from “Deck The Halls.” As in “don we know our gay apparel.” First of all, in that case gay literally does mean “happy.” Second of all, grow up. That teacher should probably just be fired immediately for gross stupidity.
- The Senate Secret Santa effort is rolling right along. So far 58 of 100 Senators have signed up. It’s the brain child of sad clown Al Franken and (D-Minn.) and Mike Johanns (R-Neb.). It may not exactly solve all of the political ills in Washington, but it could show that they can do something without killing eachother. It has a limit of $10. Any $10 gift suggestions for our House of Lords? The Idiot’s Guide to Finance? A roll of red tape? A brain?
- Mitt takes a stand! Mitt Romney told Neil Cavuto on Fox News that he will not be participating in the December 27th debate schedule to be moderated by Donald Trump.
- Oops: President Obama confused Texas and Kansas during his speech on the economy on Tuesday. Listen, 57 states is a lot to keep track of. He also blamed the internet for job losses.
- A couple GOP strategists, Ari Fleischer and Nicholas Thompson accidentally included Yahoo in a conference call. Nothing Earth-shattering slipped out, but they did have some words of advice on how best to attack the president: stick to branding him a flip-flopper and skip the personal critiques because people actually like the president as a person. Makes sense, after all Obama’s personal popularity is still pretty high.
- A new survey takes a look at the TV habits of the politically aware. Apparently democrats like “sarcastic” media-savvy comedies and morally murky antiheroes. Republicans like serious work-centered shows (both reality shows and stylized scripted procedurals), along with reality competitions. I’ll speak for grumpy libertarian-types and say that we all like comedies and geeky sci-fi shows.
- Scare in the Air: 30 Rock star Alec Baldwin was removed from an American Airlines flight in Los Angeles.
- Tis the season: A California family was the victim of vandals who slashed their inflatable Christmas decorations and ripped off Rudolph’s head.
- A group is trying to make pole dancing an Olympic sport. The TV ratings would probably be better than they are for rhythmic gymnastics.
- I don’t know how we missed this one, but it’s National Handwashing Week. With that in mind, it turns out that paper is the biggest germ-spreader out there.
