Mark this down as another win for capitalism – and Israel, too. Recently, on the Princeton University campus, a student-led referendum sought to urge “Dining Services to provide an alternative brand to Sabra hummus in retail locations on campus,” according to the Daily Princetonian.

Elaine and the women.

4:40 PM, Dec 6, 2010 • By SAM SCHULMAN

When I finally accepted the fact that I was to be an unmarried man of 47, the first friend who called me offering to introduce me to a woman came from my then friend, Taki Theodoracopulos (politics has since parted us). I didn’t know that it was to be the only such call I would ever receive in more than three years of eligible bachelorhood – but it didn’t matter.

As the House Appropriations Committee stands poised to make a former earmarker its chairman, incoming House speaker John Boehner throws his support to porkbuster Jeff Flake:

“I support Congressman Jeff Flake [R-AZ] in his effort to be appointed to serve on the Appropriations Committee, and I join with incoming Majority Leader Cantor in expressing hope that other reform-minded Members of Congress will follow Jeff’s example in seeking appointment to the committee.

The 'Washington Post' sets the record straight on 'Fair Game.'

12:20 PM, Dec 6, 2010 • By VICTORINO MATUS

Certainly an argument can be made that considering the movie Fair Game has already become an afterthought, having grossed a mere $7.4 million domestically, why bother giving it more attention? On the other hand, if the movie's hero, former diplomat Joe Wilson, is right, and "for people who have short memories or don't read, this is the only way they will remember that period," then it is a good thing the Washington Post decided to set the record straight:

Last April, when I was in Sarajevo, the Bosnian metropolis, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt happened to make a quick tour of the country, coming by private plane from Venice, where Jolie was filming The Tourist, a mystery pic with Johnny Depp.

The former New Mexico governor and likely 2012 Republican presidential candidate talks to THE WEEKLY STANDARD.

10:25 AM, Dec 6, 2010 • By JOHN MCCORMACK

Gary Johnson, the former New Mexico governor and a likely 2012 Republican presidential candidate, hasn’t been shy about his support for marijuana legalization or his personal use of the drug during his younger days. “I never exhaled,” he joked in a recent interview with The New Republic. But in an interview with THE WEEKLY STANDARD, Johnson admitted publicly for the first time that he smoked marijuana more recently—from 2005 to 2008—for medicinal purposes, he says.

One pastry chef's labor of love: A gingerbread basilica.

8:00 AM, Dec 4, 2010 • By VICTORINO MATUS

Don't you love this time of year, when folks (let's be honest here, moms and their kids) get together over hot cocoa and construct those cute little gingerbread houses? Over at the Four Seasons in Georgetown, pastry chef Charles Froke has taken the concept to a whole other level: He's managed to re-create the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.

12:00 AM, Dec 4, 2010 • By IRWIN M. STELZER

If you want to know why this economic forecaster is turning grey before your very eyes, or your investment adviser is mumbling incoherently when you dial him up for advice, consider the three important reports that were issued at the end of this week.

Ron Paul: Leave Julian Assange alone!

Charles Krauthammer: Get Assange.

A Lesson in Cultural Geography from Steve Martin.

I record with interest and, perhaps, a measure of surprise and sorrow a brief dispatch from the frontiers of culture—in this case, the hallowed precincts of the 92nd Street Y on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
