Kosovo shows its appreciation by naming a street after President Bush.
It’s better than a sewage plant.
Sorry to be a Grinch, but with his massive government bailout legacy hanging overhead, perhaps someone should name a bottomless pit after W.
Your suggestions?

Jason Mattera at Young America’s Foundation keeps a list of who’s been naughty on America’s college campuses.

Well, it will come as no surprise to you that the union thugs have thrown concessions under the bus and are looking to Barack Obama to fork over all the money they need without strings attached. They promised they would abandon any wage cut proposals as soon as President Bailout, er, President Bush, announced the [...]

My Christmas Eve column today brings together several unforgettable stories over the past year that will be familiar to readers of this blog. It’s enriching, inspiring stories like these that keep me going when Washington politics wears me down — and remind me of how truly blessed we are.

They need your help with the Adopt a Soldier/Sailor/Airman/Marine program.

Well, here it is — Clinton cleaner-upper-turned-Obama-cleaner-upper Greg Craig’s memo detailing the contacts between Team Obama and Team Blago.
All five little pages of it.
Buried two days before Christmas while Obama and his man-boobs are sunning themselves in Hawaii.
First question upon reading the thin report: Who is Eric Whitaker?
Common tie: Tony Rezko, of course.
Example of Craig’s [...]

Salt of the earth.

How many times do we need to see those man-boobs? And that ting-ting-tingling of the Obamedia fanboys ogling over PEBO’s physique? Enough. Enough already.
Who else needs eye bleach?

Hmmm: ABC turns homeland security into boob-tube entertainment. (Hat tip: ALIPAC) In some ways, you can’t top the true-life farce that lax immigration enforcement has been under the Bush administration. It will be interesting to see how much of the open-borders agenda creeps into this experiment:
Every day the men and women of the Department [...]

That Obama campaign line about how electing John McCain would mean four more years of Bush is getting more snort-worthy every day.
After retaining President Bush’s Defense Secretary, we now learn that Obama is keeping on most of Bush’s political appointees at the Pentagon. WT’s Bill Gertz reports:
Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates has asked most [...]

Abe Greenwald looks at Hillary’s moves at the State Department: Here come the Clinton years.
Cue the background music: It’s beginning to look a lot like Hillmas.

Our wonderful friend and photoshopper Tennyson Hayes is back. Nothing more needs to be said about Caroline Kennedy’s Senate bid than Tennyson’s photo-commentary:

Nobility cannot be bothered with the rules and customs of the little people:
If she were applying to be, say, an undersecretary of education in Barack Obama’s new administration, Caroline Kennedy would have to [...]

C’est la vie.

Who’s up for a nickname contest for Arianna Huffington’s recycling website?
My suggestion: The Huffington Re-Post.
I like Whet Moser’s, too: Grand Theft HuffPo.

A bunch of punks trashed a mall in San Francisco over the weekend — causing untold damage after throwing food, tossing trash cans, and ransacking kiosks.
Their ostensible reason for the “protest?”
“Solidarity with Greek Uprising.”
A band of demonstrators, many wearing black masks, stormed a bustling San Francisco mall Saturday evening, upending garbage cans and foliage and [...]

Har.
Danny Glover at the Enlightened Redneck asks: “Is that Sarah Palin steering for Santa?”
The artist who created the cards is Sandy Jamieson. Gotta remember to order these for next year!

The Jersey Jihadists were convicted today of plotting to murder American soldiers at Fort Dix.
Just a reminder that this would not have been possible without the bravery of Brian Morgenstern, the Circuit City employee who blew the whistle on the terror plotters after seeing one of their training videos, which they had dropped off at [...]

Brought to you by “progressives:” $45 billion in public handouts for telephone and cable companies?!?!
Your Monday bailout round-up from Beyond Bailouts is here.
And quicker than you can say “mooch,” the commercial real estate developers have joined the bailout line, too.

For crying out loud.
And make sure to plunge into the comments sections, too.

Season’s greetings for the the MSM from milblog extraordinaire Mudville Gazette.

If you’re a conservative writer who dares to point out the downside of government policies that loosened lending standards for first-time minority homebuyers, you’re a RAAAACIST. (See, for example, here and here.)
But if you’re the New York Times wanting to point out how George W. Bush’s minority home ownership pandering is responsible for the [...]

It started long before September 11. It started long before W. Never forget:

Memorial stone at Lockerbie, Scotland

Arlington National Cemetery
The Lockerbie Cairn, through its 270 blocks of red Scottish sandstone, memorializes the 270 lives lost in the terrorist attack on the United States when Pan Am flight 103 was bombed Dec. 21, 1988, over Lockerbie Scotland. [...]

I’ve obtained documents sent to a reader in response to his FOIA request regarding the creation of Barack Obama’s Change.gov website. It gives you the rest of the story. You’ll recall last month that I blogged several questions about the propriety of allowing the perpetual Obama campaign to use a .gov domain name for what [...]

Christmas wish.

California AG Jerry Brown promised to uphold the will of the people.
Then the anti-Prop. 8 mob reared its ugly head.
So, now he’s changed his mind.
Feel the power of the rainbow-colored fist:
The California attorney general has changed his position on the state’s new same-sex marriage ban and is now urging the state Supreme Court to void [...]

Reader Chris: “Has anyone made a dog chew-toy in the shape of a crap sandwich? Maybe put TARP in big letters on it. I figure dogs and dung beetles are the only ones that would actually enjoy a crap sandwich (oddly enough, I think some CEOs and many politicians would fit into either the [...]

Well, what else did you expect? The crooked corruptocrat governor of Illinois broke his silence and declared his complete and absolute innocence.
He’s clean as a whistle — and he’s got “personal knowledge” of it.
I think I heard Mrs. Blago chiming in: $%^&@! yeah, he’s innocent.
Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says he is not guilty of [...]

Some of us saw through Hank Paulson before Crap Sandwich passed. On September 24, I warned about the myriad reasons Hank Paulson needed to be contained.
Congress didn’t listen. Neither did many conservatives who blindly trusted the Naked Emperor.
For those who insist no one could see it coming, well, um, you were wrong. Welcome to the [...]

“We as a news organization feel it’s more important than ever to hold the government accountable.”

John Boehner just issued a statement expressing dismay at President Bush’s UAW bailout. He called the use of TARP funds for the bailout “regrettable:”
“The action today is disappointing news for autoworkers and taxpayers, who deserve better — particularly from their Congress, which essentially punted on this difficult issue and is gearing up to move radical [...]
