Goodness, cleaning up the sloppiness of reporters could be a full time job. In response to The Daily Caller’s online inquiry, I gave them a statement that the writer buried on his story’s second page (which most people won’t even notice — I didn’t even notice it) after he spent the first page completely spinning a situation to give the impression that Alaska’s film production tax credit legislation was somehow solely my idea hatched up to benefit the Palins years before I was ever involved in a documentary series on TLC/Discovery Channel. Here’s setting the record straight: As Governor, I signed into law a popular bipartisan bill that was crafted and passed by others and has resulted in numerous Alaska-based productions that are airing today. The only alternative to signing the legislature’s work product would have been for me to veto their legislation, which would have been useless. Besides all that, their legislation worked. (more)

With The Daily Caller approaching its first birthday (the site was launched on January 11, 2010), I thought it would be appropriate to recount the 20 most interesting Daily Caller op-eds of 2010 (according to me). Collectively, these op-eds garnered hundreds of thousands of page views and over ten thousand Facebook recommendations (though, due to a Facebook glitch, the Facebook recommendations for most Daily Caller articles that were published before December 10th have disappeared. You’ll have to trust me on this one.) The articles are listed in no particular order. (more)

Thousands of articles have been published at The Daily Caller since we launched on Jan. 11. So we’ve compiled a sampling of a few of our favorites. (more)

Christmas is just around the corner, and in honor of the occasion The Daily Caller’s offices have turned into a “Winter Wonderland,” complete with a tree and lights. We’re making our lists and checking them twice because even if Santa Claus decides we’ve been too naughty, hopefully mommy and daddy will come to the rescue. (Office coordinator Laura Baños wants a “Le Creuset Demi teakettle in Caribbean or royal blue;” relevant persons take note). But in the immortal words of Mariah Carey, “all [TheDC] wants for Christmas is you,” which, at the end of the day, makes for a kind of short list. So to fill it out, we decided to call around town and find out what’s on some other people’s Christmas wish lists. We trust you’ll find the answers as amusing as we do. (more)

There are few men who embody the spirit of Christmas quite like Clark W. Griswold. (more)

Sometimes I question whether the internet’s upsides — its ability to disseminate information, facilitate collaboration, and connect people across continents — are outweighed by its downsides.  It’s a question I’ve been pondering a lot recently as I’ve watched an array of liberal bloggers demonize an Army veteran, Joe Rehyansky, for something he didn’t actually say. (more)
