So, for what it's worth, Barack Obama is Time's 2012 Person of the Year. I guess Nate Silver's already gotten enough attention, eh? (Though it's all quite meaningless, I'm fine with this. Thoughts? Suggestions? How about the soldier in Afghanistan?)

The Agonist: Why does Obama insist on capitulating to Republicans?

The Moderate Voice: Are shooting victims collateral damage sacrifices to the gun worship god?

Simply Left Behind: What exactly will the NRA's "meaningful contributions" be?

The Rude Pundit: Did you know even Robert Bork thought gun control was constitutional?

Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction (@mjwstickings). I'll be here all week.
