- Your DC City Council will vote to legalize gay marriage today, over the objections of that bastion of morality, Marion Barry. (Washington Examiner)
- The CBO says the Senate healthcare bill will lower insurance premiums or keep them the same for most Americans,. This contradicts Republican fearmongering, though, so it will probably be ignored. (WaPo)
- In other CBO news, they also said that the stimulus employed 600,000 to 1.6 million people and raised the GDP. So, ditto the previous point. (WSJ)
- The GOP redefines sexism as exclusively criticism of Sarah Palin. As for any other women in the world? They’re fair game. (Washington Independent)
- Switzerland is trying to vote Muslims out of the country by banning the construction of minarets, which are pretty important for the whole prayer thing. So much for neutrality. (NYT)
- Last Thursday, Thanksgiving, Glenn Beck suggested that maybe Sarah Palin should go back to the kitchen. Haha, such wit! And yet, nobody laughed at his hilarious joke, and it is the terrible liberals’ fault. (Raw Story/ThinkProgress)
- In a nationwide poll for America’s Next Top Conservative, literally one person picked Dick Cheney. And it was probably on a dare. (WaPo)
- There will be a Congressional investigation into how a Great Falls couple snuck past the Secret Service into a White House state dinner. Those always produce useful results! (Bloomberg)
- A man walked into a Seattle-area coffee shop and killed four cops yesterday, so of course the important thing is how this will affect Mike Huckabee’s political career. (All of your American news media)
Deep Thought
Was the cover of this week’s Newsweek sexist back when Sarah Palin voluntarily did the photo shoot for Runner’s World magazine, or only now that it’s on the cover with a headline she doesn’t like?
Rampant Sexism
What do you get when you add Senate Republicans’ overwhelming defense of rape to the NRCC’s desire for Gen. Stanley McChrystal to put Nancy Pelosi “in her place,” or to Sen. Jon Kyl’s (R-AZ) opposition to maternity care in the healthcare reform bill because men don’t need it, or to Chris Christie’s plan for insurance companies to stop paying for mammograms, or to Bob McDonnell’s thesis calling working women “detrimental to the family?”
