I will persuade Bush to get behind the threat of global warming. I plan to do this by slipping into the White House in the dead of night, tying him naked to a bedpost and forcing him to watch footage of the melting polar icecap until he concedes.
One year ago this weekend, the Huffington Post broke the news that, as Jim Morrison might have put it, the Kristol Ship was about to sail at the New York Times.
Sarah Palin may not have known what the Bush Doctrine was, but we're getting a pretty good idea of what the Palin Doctrine is. And what is it going to look like? Let's just say, it's going to seem familiar.
Dear Arianna, you're so nice, and I feel like we have this good thing going, so this isn't going to be easy, but it has to be said. I told you a lie on Tuesday. But it wasn't my fault. It was Bill Kristol's.
We have a message for our Republican friends: It is time to point fingers. We are pro-finger-pointing. And here's the most important thing about finger-pointing: you have to start early.
There are rumors that the New York Times is not going to renew Bill Kristol's contract. I just pray they're not true.

In his new book, Barton Gellman reports a new twist on the old story of administration officials trying to tie Saddam Hussein to 9/11, and the most newsworthy thing about the report is the source.
Coming in the wake of Newsweek's hiring of Karl Rove, and the Times' hiring of Bill Kristol, the mainstream media's embrace of these unabashed propagandists has revealed a self-loathing streak a mile wide.

As of yet, no Secretary of Satire has been named, but those rumored under consideration include Stephen Colbert, Samantha Bee and William Kristol.
The surviving Republican members of Congress will do their best to make Obama's life miserable.

Totally brilliant. I should have cried in despair at each and every one of the 10 (plus "honorable" mentions), but instead I couldn't help laughing at the wit and insight. Maybe there's still hope for America after all with writers like you, Chez. Great work.
P.S. Your "Andy" use was Wow! He'd be proud.
