Time for the GOP to Strike

Reihan Salam outlines some options for the GOP to consider in the wake of the Scott Brown victory in Massachussetts:
The Democrats have offered a series of bloated, heavy-handed bills to tackle real problems facing the economy, and Republicans have been right to take them to task. But they’re now in a position to offer more cost-effective, scalpel-like proposals of their own that can demonstrate their readiness to govern.

Understanding Barack Obama

I even have a guide for understanding him. It’s a sheet of paper, taped to the inside of a kitchen cabinet. It does not say “Understanding Barack Obama” at the top. It says “Principles of Positive Discipline.” I use it, most often, when I’m frustrated with my daughter, who’s six. That’s what it’s designed for. But I also use it when I’m trying to understand Barack Obama, and it works every time.

There’s been some head-scratching about Dr. James Dobson’s decision to launch a new radio show separate from Focus on the Family. The NY Times offers some insight into the move. Dobson’s son Ryan is joining him in the venture, and Ryan is divorced, which would have precluded him from being involved in a program with Focus.

This is, by far, the best tidbit from this interview with an anonymous Facebook employee :
Rumpus: You’ve previously mentioned a master password, which you no longer use.
Employee: I’m not sure when exactly it was deprecated, but we did have a master password at one point where you could type in any user’s user ID, and then the password. I’m not going to give you the exact password, but with upper and lower case, symbols, numbers, all of the above, it spelled out ‘Chuck Norris,’ more or less. It was pretty fantastic.
Will Sundays shows ever change?

Politico.com’s Michael Calderone takes a look at the glacial pace of change on the Sunday morning talk shows:
Given that the Sunday shows attract an older viewership likely to be more resistant to change, there’s hesitancy on the part of producers to mess with the DNA. In addition, the guests — candidates, policy makers, members of the administration — come to expect an almost standard format.
Celebrating MLK: He was Christian?

Anthony B. Robinson writes at Crosscut.com:
I pondered the ways that King’s Christianity is muted or forgotten in Seattle as I listened to the recent debate over Fox News analyst Brit Hume’s suggestion that Tiger Woods should convert to Christianity. Generally, I am no fan of Fox News, but on this one I thought Brit Hume was right, or at least not wrong. What’s wrong with suggesting that a person weighed down by guilt and remorse might find grace and forgiveness in a particular faith?
