HEH: “Waiting for CNN, the New York Times, Reuters, Associated Press, ABC, CBS, NBC, FoxNews, et al, to pick up Yon’s coverage. If there were justice in the world anywhere, Michael Yon would have a Pulitzer by now.”

MICKEY KAUS: “So it’s another victory for the Spitzer Plan then!”

Plus, amusing video. And Tom Maguire on matching headline to story.

VIDEO: Missile interceptions.

JAMES LILEKS posts some amusing tidbits from his about-to-appear book, Gastroanomalies.

SOME THOUGHTS FROM IraqPundit.

SEEMS REASONABLE TO ME: “A judge ordered a Wellesley College student to be held without bail during a dangerousness hearing after she was accused of stabbing her former boyfriend several times as he slept in his MIT dorm room.”

RON PAUL: Good as gold, according to David Weigel.

I BLAME GEORGE W. BUSH: “The number of people who are chronically homeless dropped by nearly 12 percent from 2005 to 2006, according to government estimates being released Wednesday.”

SARKOZY SOUNDING “REAGANESQUE”? Judge for yourself — there’s video at the link. Plus this: “What’s particularly interesting is that, years ago when the Bush presidency was new and Iraq was a fresh issue, the left told us constantly that George Bush was making America less popular in the world. Yet during the President’s term in office three of our traditional allies (Canada, Germany and now France) elected leaders that displaced virulently anti-Bush and anti-American leaders with people more of Sarkozy’s temperament (Stephen Harper in Canada and Angela Merkel in Germany).”

UPDATE: But Sarkozy has complaints about the falling dollar.

And this observation: “America’s relations with allies have seldom been better.”

JUST TOOK A CALL FROM A RASMUSSEN ROBO-POLLER: That was sort of fun, since I don’t get those generally. Lots of different questions, but they seemed awfully interested in the 2010 governor’s race, and in attitudes about illegal immigration. I can also see why Rasmussen does so well — it was quite painless.

This’ll be Chris Muir’s Day By Day cartoon tomorrow, but he said I could put it up here ahead of schedule.

OBAMA: Don’t look to Baby Boomers for change.

SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF: Tennessee is home to the world’s tallest horse.

EMOTIONALLY AMBIGUOUS songs for the holidays.

IN THE RACE FOR BEST ONLINE COMMUNITY, it’s neck-and-neck between DailyKos and Little Green Footballs.

CNN GETS GUN CONTROL STORY WRONG: Again.

ROGER KIMBALL on the New York Times’ circulation drop.

BAND OF BLOGGERS: That’s the name of a show on the History Channel, including J.D. Johannes among the cast.

NEW VS. OLD MEDIA. Tell the advertisers!

INSTAPUNDIT IS STILL IN THE RUNNING for Best Individual Blogger.

MIKE HUCKABEE: Pro-life liberal?

YOU MAY NOT KNOW IT, but your digital camera produces hidden data.

MY EARLIER SURVIVAL-KIT POST caused reader Fred Weldon to recommend including toilet paper, which may be in short supply: “After all, if you’re gonna eat, you’re gonna excrete.” Good advice. I do keep a roll in my kits, and also in each car. And Target sells purse- or backpack-convenient mini-rolls, from Charmin. Those also fit nicely in a glove compartment.

Reader Michael Fisher, meanwhile, suggests this kit, and wonders why I didn’t mention a gun. Well, I figure most Insta-Readers have their own preferences in that department already.

BILL RICHARDSON OUTLINES his foreign policy agenda.

BOB OWENS: Media Terminator. And that’s from Michael Yon.
