Begala: Obama ‘Luckier Than a Dog with Two Tongues’
If his predecessor cursed Obama by handing him a depression and two wars, the Good Lord has blessed him with the weakest field of opponents in memory. I stand by my early assessment: when I look at the economy, I think Obama can’t win, but when I look at the Republicans, I think he can’t lose. The economy is starting to get better; the Republicans aren’t. The president has moved to the populist center, smoothly co-opting the legitimate grievances of the Occupy Wall Street movement and ensuring that he wouldn’t face a primary challenge from the left. ‘Barack’ means blessing in Swahili. Perhaps ‘Obama’ means luckier than a dog with two tongues.

Palin Backs Gingrich In Very Short Sentences

Toward Understanding Callista
O.K., we’ve all seen this one on Facebook, although I think it does a disservice to Dwight:
But what can we discover about Callista Gingrich from this?
Here’s my theory. Remember when Newt told Mrs. Gingrich II that Callista didn’t care who he sleeps with? I think if Mrs. G III were to loosen up that helmet and let some oxygen get to her head, she might encourage Newt to satisfy his lusty urges with other women even more emphatically.
