AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION IN MARYLAND?Before bringing a reporter here this past week, two Navy officers met him in a suburban parking lot and applied a blindfold. They then drove down some bumpy roads, taking many turns. The reporter was allowed to take off the blindfold only when he reached a secret destination, where he saw two safeguarded possessions of the U.S. Naval Academy: Bill XXXIII and Bill XXXIV, a pair of Angora goats. The animals are the mascots of the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. The institution said this safe house

One of the things that has become apparent during the presidential campaign and now, during the negotiations over how to avoid the ?fiscal cliff,? is the importance the president places on raising the rates on the top 2 percent of income earners. I?ve written before on why I believe conservatives shouldn?t make a ?no new taxes? pledge and why keeping the top rate at 35 percent (which I support) isn?t a matter of high principle. At the same time, Speaker John Boehner and House Republicans?who after all have been willing to put $800 billion in revenues (through closing loopholes and deductions)

?Tis the season for holiday music that intrudes, annoys, and entraps. Like a zombie, "Feliz Navidad" dies every year only to return -- everywhere. On the car radio, in the mall, on hold, at your kid?s school (provided they omit the holiday?s first syllable) you can?t escape Christmas music. Bah! Humbug! The radio staples are as amorphous as they are ubiquitous. The Pogues offer a Christmas anthem for St. Patrick?s Day in "A Fairytale of New York." Greg Lake?s "I Believe in Father Christmas" hits the ears as a Yuletide hymn for atheists.

As Egypt under the heel of Mohamed Morsi unravels, here?s the late-breaking news: The Muslim Brotherhood is the enemy of democracy. This has always been obvious to anyone who took the time to look into it. Nevertheless, it has not been an easy point to make lo these many years. Even as the Justice Department proved beyond any doubt in court that the Brotherhood?s major goal in America and Europe ? its self-professed ?grand jihad? ? is ?eliminating and destroying Western civilization,? to have the temerity to point this out is to be smeared as an ?Islamophobe.?

Virginia gubernatorial candidate Terry McAuliffe created American jobs with his recently acquired electric-car company ? just not in Virginia. After he was asked about it at a campaign event this week, the exchange raised questions over how voters will react. The Democratic candidate said it?s the state?s fault for not pursuing manufacturing business like his own, recommending more aggressive tax incentives. As he cast it, McAuliffe?s own company is a case study in Virginia?s economic policy. McAuliffe?s firm, GreenTech opened a plant in Horn Lake, Miss., in July and plans to open another in Tunica, Miss.,

Orlando, Fla. - George Zimmerman sued NBC on Thursday, claiming he was defamed when the network edited his 911 call to police after the shooting of Trayvon Martin to make it sound like he was racist. The former neighborhood watch volunteer filed the lawsuit seeking an undisclosed amount of money in Seminole County, outside Orlando. Also named in the complaint were three reporters covering the story for NBC or an NBC-owned television station. The complaint said the airing of the edited call has inflicted emotional distress on Zimmerman, making him fear for his life and causing him

Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) is leaving the Senate to take over the Heritage Foundation. He will replace Ed Feulner as the conservative think tank?s president. He expressed no qualms about leaving the Senate before his term is up, nor did he reflect on his legislative achievements, of which none come to mind. Let me first explain why this is very bad indeed for Heritage. Even DeMint would not claim to be a serious scholar. He is a pol. He?s a pol whose entire style of conservatism ?all or nothing,

Controversy is brewing over new Common Core State Standards in English that call on public schools to emphasize the reading of ?information text? instead of fictional literature. According to the Washington Post, English teachers across the country are upset by what they consider the government?s effort ?to drive literature out of the classroom.? English teachers are right to be upset, but they shouldn?t take it personally. The government has nothing much against literature, per se. Rather, this initiative is driven in large part by the desire to promote political propaganda in the classroom.

As we wrote on Wednesday, the Republican Party is largely leaderless at the moment ? drifting as it seeks some sort of new (or new-ish) direction to head on fiscal cliff and immigration, among other other issues. The only person capable of herding the party not only in a unified direction but also a direction that can solve (or at least address) the GOP?s issues ? demographic and otherwise ? is the former governor of Florida. That doesn?t mean that Bush, who is widely speculated as a potential 2016 presidential candidate, needs to decide

Like many of you, I?ve been through my share of these things -- you know, where some hotshot from corporate flies in, takes over the biggest office in the building, closes the door, and then one-by-one calls in those who will no longer be employed due to downsizing, or whatever the word of the day is. Harrowing stuff. But to do it over the holidays? Cold-blooded. Ouch: The sad moment has arrived when we must go forth with the editorial staff reductions that we discussed in person with all of you several weeks ago.

James Taylor said he ?really suffered? under eight years of ?Cheney/Bush,? while speaking at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. on Friday about election reform. ?It was sort of natural, being so politically active over the years, that I would get involved in the campaign of 2008,? Taylor said. ?I really?I was hugely motivated also by eight years of Cheney/Bush, and I say it in that order on purpose.? ?Those were?it was a tough time for me,? he said. ?I really suffered.? ?It made me deeply ambivalent about my country that we would
