Okay, so here is your weekly update of Steyn. He's after the Democrats again.

At his homepage, he's advertising his round-up of great Christmas movie moments. It is worth a look.

Years ago, a female singer friend and I used to joke about creating a fictional vocalist called Melisma Queen who held the world record for the number of syllables she could get out of the word “love.” There’s a lot of that going on here.

Incidentally, if you rearrange the letters in "Melisma Queen" you get "Christina Aguilera."
