It was a good week for Democrats. In addition to the Gingrich surge (an early Christmas present for liberals), President Obama maintained his newfound tough-guy stance. First, he called out conservatives for giving no love to the middle class payroll tax cut, and then he told those who question his national defense toughness to "ask Osama Bin Laden"about that.
Rick Perry delivered holiday cheer to Democrats by taking a ridiculous position (not being executed is apparently a "special right") against the White House's new GLBT human rights initiative, and then putting out a desperate anti-gay, pro-religion campaign video in an attempt to gain favor with the fringier elements of his party. Columnist David Frum injected a shot of common sense into Republican primary race this week, when he argued that it must be "Romney, Huntsman, or bust" in 2012. Huntsman then proved Frum's praise was well-deserved when he impolitely refused to attend Donald Trump's imitation debate later this month.

Things were no less crazy outside the Washington beltway. In pop culture, we saw a grown actor behave like a spoiled child (and then apologize half-heartedly), a hunter shot in the ass by his own dog, the worst gift idea ever for grandma, and Adolf Hitler cheering for Tim Tebow. If all that sounds too silly, you probably missed my juvenile fascination with the video of a trampoline blowing down the street during "Hurricane Bawbag" in Scotland.
Scotland's historically bad storm may be a sign that our planet is doomed, but don't fret. Scientists say conditions are right for life to evolve on the recently discovered planet Kepler22-b, which I estimated is really, really, far away.
As always, thanks for reading.
