**For this holiday season, put Andrew Sullivan out of his misery and subscribe to The Dish. Religious freaks,those interested in scrotums,and other cultural topics, can't go wrong. He even has insightful political analysis. The quicker you subscribe, he'll take down the subscribe post.
**If you need a tax-deduction, Washington Monthly is a nice blog to subscribe to. For Baby-Boomers, they throw in gratuitous Ry Cooder videos.
** For Charles Pierce, who writes for Esquire, support ReadersSupportedNews.
**Today is the next to last edition of Jason Linkins' TV Soundoff, where you will learn what talking heads on the Sunday Shows say inane things on their way to the nursing homes. Since today everyone is asked whether this was Obama's worst year,Jason reminds everyone that Obama's fate is to be a very rich celebrity and that you would be lucky to have this year as your worst. E.J. Dionne says 2011 was Obama's worst year. Mike Huckabee says it's 50-50 whether he will run for President and all Republicans say Obamacare sucks and will be the issue next year,like it has been for them the last three years. Why change? Ms.Legrande was on Face the Nation adding some spice to the menu and she says the global economy looks like it really is recovering unless Cave Men in Washington default on the US debt. She expects the year to see unemployment in the US in the high 6% and continuing to drop. But,please read Jason's post at Huffington Post before he disappears and we will have lost a national treasure and might actually have to watch the Sunday Shows.
++Brainwrap is one of my favorite blogger this year with his Obamacaresignups.net website. Before the December 23 deadline, his numbers are 1,408,799 signups on the exchange and 3,902,550 on Medicaid. The grand total is 5,311,349.
++The Duck Dynasty has wasted all the network time and bloggers. A few things to remember. Daddy Duck is worth $15 million and has an estate of 200 acres. The series completed its season and the second one is already in the can. He's been suspended for his Christmas vacation. Sort of like Lara Larison at 60 Minutes. But expect,Duck Dynasty type statements to be the running theme of the GOP during the 2014 election. They have to go culture war as there really isn't much to talk about.
++The New York Times is beginning to print the whines of well-to-do white people about Obamacare. I guess they have finally figured out health insurance costs more money than they previously figured.
++The US is furious with Israel for selling "our" military equipment to China. This comes after Bibi was bragging about Israel's new partnership with China.
++President Obama is in Hawaii for his vacation. So he could not have had a bad week here in Washington. He knew he was going away from this town.
++Congress left town letting unemployment benefits to expire the end of this month and the Farm Bill unresolved.
++Senator Manchin of West Virginia said that keeping a majority in the Senate is going to be a heavy lift in 2014 because of Obamacare.
