As Fox’s advanced, Sharpie-and-whiteboard computing system indicates, much has happened since we last spoke a few hours ago. (If you’re on Twitter, do follow along with our more frequent updates.) Since 8 p.m., Democrat Joe Manchin won a hard-fought victory in the West Virginia Senate race. On Fox News and online, Republicans have already begun to rationalize his win as a victory for the G.O.P. “A popular governor runs Right and against the president and wins. Not exactly an affirmation of the Obama agenda,” reasoned Kathryn Jean Lopez at the National Review. Republicans also picked up a seat in Florida’s 8th congressional district, as Daniel Webster ousted imminently flappable Democrat Alan Grayson, as well as a seat in Arkansas, where Republican John Boozman (pronounced “Bahz-man”—sorry) defeated embattled incumbent senator Blanche Lincoln. Incumbent Democrats Carol Shea-Porter and Allen Boyd lost to their Republican opponents in New Hampshire and Florida,...

"Mel Gibson might be my favorite feminist. If he's not number one on my list, he's pretty close, in competition with Pope John Paul II." -- Kathryn Jean Lopez, Always Wrong About Everything, National Review 12/2/03 Mel Gibson, the National Review's favorite feminist, comes off kind of poorly in some new audiotapes, secretly recorded by his ex-mistress, in between the times he was punching her. He's clearly a hothead. Okay, and a misogynist. And a racist. And a bully and a douchebag. And, oh, let's just come right out and say it, the guy's a monster. But is he a bad Christian? Before we get on our high horses about anyone's career-ending rant, we have to remember: Mel Gibson isn't just a feminist; he's also Jesus's best friend. As patron of his own...
