I was tired of hearing about what the news networks wanted me to hear about, so I went to the source of CableGate, WikiLeaks. Yes, I lead such a boring life that I have hours to sift through recently-leaked classified documents. This stuff is almost as sexy as PerezHilton.com! Here are 10 secret documents that I was interested in leading:

2012 Republican Presidential Contenders
In order of their current likelihood that they’ll end up the Republican nominee, here is my list of potential 2012 Republican presidential candidates:
Auto Tune the News
Here are some hilarious videos that I found recently: And here’s one that I found particularly funny (about a candidate for Governor of New York, most of whom are funny):
Political Thanksgiving
Here are 10 things to be thankful for in the political realm (in no particular order, and I’m not even saying that these are the top ten things):
Blog of the Month: Best of the Web Today
I’ve been reading “Best of the Web Today” for several years now. If you want something that’s informative but at the same time snarky, snide, sarcastic and elitist, then this is the blog for you.

The House Ethics Committee found Rep. Charlie Rangel guilty on 11 of 13 counts that were brought against him. He threw a fit on Monday because the committee would not agree to postpone the trial, because he had fired his legal counsel. The committee held the trial without him, and came up with their verdict:
The New Big Men (and Woman) in Town – The Senate Freshmen
There are 13 new members of the United States Senate, and here they are (well, most of them, anyways), along with the best way to identify them in conversation (if, like me, you ever refer to them in conversation):
The Executive and the Elephant
This was a fascinating book that I won in a contest on MichaelHyatt.com. Often, when Michael does a book review, he gives away copies of the book to the people who read his blog (another reason to read his blog).
Hultgren, Kinzinger, and Dold on Fox Chicago
Here are some of the guys who beat Democratic incumbents during the election:
