The NewsObserver reports that at PETA’s behest, a judge in NC has halted the 20-year-old tradition of the Opossum Drop wherein a live ’possum is lowered in a cage at midnight on New Year’s.
Here’s an idea that should make PETA happy: since you can’t use a live ’possum, just kill a fresh one each year, stuff it, and raffle it off for an NRA-approved charity. You’d hate to trample the poor critter’s rights by releasing it unharmed, now, wouldn’t you?

Weekly Standard Obama: I Made Susan Rice Talk to the American People About Benghazi
When they go after the U.N. ambassador, apparently because they think she’s an easy target, then they’ve got a problem with me
That’s an awful lot of bravado coming from the guy who insisted he called it a terror attack from day one. So he’s directly responsible for lying to the American people but only fesses up to it after the election. Put away your shocked faces.
National Review
Townhall:
Obamanomics…get ready for a rough ride:
WSJ California’s Liberal Supermajority: Taxpayers are going to get all the government they ever wanted.
Sandy…
Yeah, this admin is handling it so much better than Katrina.
Jonah Goldberg@Orlando Sentinel A victory for creatures of the state
Townhall:
GOP take note: we won’t win at the national level unless we bring in the many conservative minorities and immigrant citizens who currently vote D.
Doug Powers@MichelleMalkin Harry Reid: Bring on the filibuster reform!
ABC via Weasel Zippers Russian President Vladimir Putin Overjoyed With Obama’s Reelection, “We Took The News Very Positively”…
Worrisome when the world’s despots celebrate our presidential election.
CBS Baltimore Witness To Brutal Attack Speaks With WJZ
Self-defense is your right and responsibility. This can happen anywhere…
Benghazi is not going away:
Charles Krauthammer@Washington Post The choice
Sheldon G. Adelson@WSJ I Didn’t Leave the Democrats. They Left Me
Townhall NAACP Takes Over Houston Polling Station, Advocates for President Obama
Yes, it’s illegal. No, they don’t care.
CBS Atlanta Obama Inauguration Preacher Says ‘America Is Going To Hell In A Hand Basket’
He also
told parishioners in the crowd that he is back to believing that all white people will not get into heaven
Yep. The racism is coming from those evil conservatives. So Rev. Wright was an aberration? Sure. This is the guy Obama awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
NewsBusters MSNBC Ridicules Romney for Collecting Food and Supplies for Sandy Victims
What? He should have spent the day drowning kittens?
Townhall:
Roger Pielke@WSJ Hurricanes and Human Choice: Sandy was terrible, but we’re currently in a relative hurricane ‘drought.’ Connecting energy policy and disasters makes little scientific sense.
Michelle Malkin:
Bing West@National Review First, Aid the Living
Forget who said what when. We had badly needed assets—air power and Special Forces—an hour from Benghazi, and the administration chose not to use them to support our men on the ground. President Obama got his “3 AM call” and utterly failed. He is not fit to be commander-in-chief.
This story should be leading every newscast and front-page on every paper—and would have been if it were Bush. That it’s not says everything there is to say about the bias of the media.
