As a follow up to my post the other day, Martha Coakley’s Secret Bank Account, here is a good description of how Coakley maneuvered around campaign finance laws, as reported in Boston Magazine:

This will be my last post of the year, barring some high-profile conservative taking ill and being rushed to the hospital in which Barack Obama was not born just before he was born in that other hospital in the state where Rush Limbaugh is resting comfortably and Sarah Palin was caught...

I’m generally staying away from “Best” and “Worst” posts, despite the gravitational pull on this date, but this one really, really needs to be remembered:

This is my obligatory post regarding left-wing reaction to Rush Limbaugh being rushed to the hospital late last night in Hawaii (U.S. mainland time), and initial reports that he was in serious condition.

Keith Burgess-Jackson has posted his 10 resolutions for 2010.

No. 1 is “Solve the problem of evil.”
