That’s Teleprompter of the United States, in case you aren’t up on conservative snark (for shame!).

Apparently some in the White House are being a bit too literal about hopping in bed with media:

White House Budget Director and inveterate health care number-cruncher Peter Orszag and ABC News’ glamorous financial correspondent Brianna Golodryga got engaged Monday over lunch, the New York Times reported. An October wedding is planned, which the Times points out would coincide with the beginning of the feds’ new fiscal year. How romantic.

Anyway, congratulations to the couple.  Meanwhile, Chris Mathews is really hoping gay marriage passes in D.C.

The Gore Effect is the tendency of global warming events to be marked by record cold temperatures.

Blizzard hits Copenhagen:

World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.

“Temperatures will stay low at least the next three days,” Henning Gisseloe, an official at Denmark’s Meteorological Institute, said today by telephone, forecasting more snow in coming days. “There’s a good chance of a white Christmas.”

…Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit).

Both the President and Nancy Pelosi had to leave the global warming conference early in order to get home before the record challenging blizzard hitting Washington DC today.

I know that a bronze Obama bust is just what you’ve all been waiting for!  There are two different bust types to choose from, “The Candidate” and “The President.” I would have gone with “Campaigner 1″ and “Campaigner 2.”

Proceeds from sales of the busts, which cost almost $1,000, will go to a Kenyan charity.  Obama’s own pockets, meanwhile, remain firmly closed to his destitute, Kenyan half-brother.  With only 10,000 in production, this is a limited edition item of cult worship, so act fast!

“The Candidate” Obama gazes wistfully toward a future where “The President” Obama ignores his many campaign promises

A Jeff Foxworthy-like hashtag has been trending on twitter for the last day.  Conservatives have been wracking their brains for humorous ways to identify our liberal friends.  Not to be left out, I conjured a few myself.  Here are some for those of you who don’t already follow me on twitter.

If you think American exceptionalism is something to be ashamed of, #youmightbealiberal

If you think only white people can be racist, #youmightbealiberal

If you don’t think “benevolent dictatorship” is an oxymoron, #youmightbealiberal

If you think intentions are the same as outcomes, #youmightbealiberal

If your entire political philosophy can be traced back to daddy issues, #youmightbealiberal

If you think progressive taxes won’t discourage productivity, but excise taxes can get people to quit smoking, #youmightbealiberal

If you believe rights come from government instead of “our Creator,” #youmightbealiberal

If you think taking from Peter to give to Paul is “compassionate,” #youmightbealiberal

If you think you know better how people should live their lives than they do, #youmightbealiberal

How did I do? Did I forget anything?

A well done, rap-style parody of victim politics:

The originator of such economic masterpieces like The Stimulus and Cash for Clunkers was snubbed in a surprise move by the Nobel Committee.

Although the winners are themselves American, this is a tragic day for The One and therefore all Americans.  Anyone who does not mourn this loss is siding with the terrorists.

This video compilation of 130 photos he took with foreign dignitaries makes you wonder.

Barack Obama’s amazingly consistent smile from Eric Spiegelman on Vimeo.

How many hundreds of hours must he have spent practicing that smile in the mirror?  I find that sadly creepy.

I always like to correct media headlines based on certain liberal or big government premises with more accurate alternatives. This one stood out as a prime candidate, and also an opportunity for me to get in trouble*: “Study: Women lawmakers outperform men.”

Are women more effective lawmakers than men?

That’s the preliminary conclusion of a study conducted by researchers at Stanford University and the University of Chicago, who say that on average, women in Congress introduce more bills, attract more co-sponsors and bring home more money for their districts than their male counterparts do.

My alternatives:

1. Study: Women lawmakers bigger porkers
2. Study: Women lawmakers better at attracting male attention
3. Study: Women lawmakers better at spending other people’s money
4. Study: Women lawmakers know how to deliver the bacon

Of course when you start putting it like that, you realize it’s pretty much a dog bites man story.
