Michelle Malkin: Miley Cyrus, Occupier Poster Girl She's perfect. Miley Cyrus, Hollywood's perpetually half-dressed wild child with an insatiable appetite for attention, jumped in front of the Occupy Wall Street bandwagon this week. The young Disney mogul unveiled a YouTube anthem hailing the aimless, anti-capitalist protesters. Smells like opportunistic teen queen spirit.

Brent Bozell: Hollywood's Soda-Pop Statism The Hollywood elite's concern for the children stops at the water's edge of physical fitness. They simply do not (SET ITAL) touch (END ITAL) the subject of moral fitness. On The Huffington Post, former entertainment executive Laurie David offered this pre-holiday piece of encouragement: "Thanksgiving Conversation Starter: Is It Time to Ban Soda Ads on Prime Time Television?"

David Limbaugh: Obama Pleads for 4 More Instead of trying to govern, a matter about which I suppose we should be grateful, President Obama is once again galloping from fundraiser to fundraiser, straining to make the implausible case that the country needs his second term.

John Ransom: Occupy Starts, Stops with Trash The Tea Party folks would have just brought some sort of cheese-covered casseroles and maybe some bottled water. Occupiers brought communicable diseases. Now that’s a type “communism” in action; hope you can believe in.

Mona Charen: Where Ron Paul Is Right Five years ago last month, Milton Friedman died at age 94. To the very end, the Nobel Prize winning economist was astute, tireless and wonderfully avuncular. Thanks to the Internet, his commentaries on subjects ranging from greed, to slavery, to the Great Depression myth and many other topics, can be enjoyed forever.

Oliver North: Incendiary Iran Our Fox News crew is here wrapping up our 100th "War Stories" documentary -- with some of the "stars" of previous episodes. Though most of the Marines here are recent veterans of combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, their present focus is on the next trouble spots. Thanks to inept national security planning in Washington, there are more vulnerabilities today than there were just three years ago. At the top of the list: Iran.

Suzanne Fields: Sex, Lies and Politics Once upon a time, they called it "the double standard." Women were held to higher virtue than men. Then women learned to stoop to conquer. In a sex-saturated world, women could exploit their tales of sex for titillation and money. A woman no longer has to be the victim of a brute. She could be a damsel in the distress of others.

Linda Chavez: Egyptian Elections Pose Danger for US Americans notoriously care little about foreign affairs, but this week's elections in Egypt deserve our attention. The Egyptian version of the so-called Arab Spring began as a popular uprising against long-term strongman Hosni Mubarak and promised greater liberty and freedom for the most populous Arab nation.

Jeff Carter: Crony Capitalism On Steriods in Illinois Bill Ayers leads a comfortable, worry-free life next door to Louis Farakhan in Hyde Park.

Political Calculations: Jobless Claims Are What We Thought They Were Today's news that the number of initial claims for unemployment insurance benefits being filed for the week ending 26 November 2011 ticked back up over the 400,000 mark is right on track with the prediction we published over a month ago.

Crista Huff: Disney Just Increased Your Kid's Allowance Broke and suffering corporations do not give away money like Disney has. As I’ve discussed all year, many American companies are in sound financial shape, despite the economy.

Ed Feulner: Moving Forward on Missile Defense With Russian President Dmitry Medvedev issuing threats about America’s planned missile defense for Europe, it may be time to remind the Obama administration why we need such defenses in the first place -- in Europe and elsewhere.

Peter Ferrara: A Newt Way to Reform Entitlements In New Hampshire on November 21, Newt Gingrich, who has just been endorsed by the Manchester Union Leader, unveiled sweeping entitlement reform proposals, discussed in a comprehensive, extensive campaign position paper now available at Newt.org. Those proposals reflect closely my own work over many years, discussed in detail in my recent book, America's Ticking Bankruptcy Bomb.

Donald Lambro: Payroll Tax Cuts Ignore Long-Term Financing Disaster Congress is working on extending the employee Social Security payroll tax cut for one more year, and possibly cut it for employers, too. But no one's talking about how much revenue this will drain from a fund that's already turned "cash negative."

Stewart Scott: A Deadly U.S. Attack on Pakistani The death toll inflicted by the United States against Pakistani servicemen is unprecedented, and while U.S. commanders and NATO leaders have expressed regret over the incident, the reaction from Pakistan has been severe.

Bill Tatro: Corporate Crowded Out on World Debt Worries Given easy access to credit swaps, the junk bond buyers would be foolish to buy corporate rather than government.

David Morris: Scorpions For Breakfast It was the spring of 2010 when a media firestorm was ignited over the passage of a new law in the Grand Canyon State. The controversy? Simple enforcement of the federal law wherein the federal government has proven derelict: securing the border against illegal immigration.

Ralph Benko: Roubini Twitters His Way to Ridicule on Gold Roubini’s sloppy characterization of the gold standard as causing the Great Depression — viewed as inaccurate by scholars of Bernanke’s stature — is commonplace but wrong.

Michael Brown: Sex-Ed Classes and the Rape of Our Children's Innocence (Part 2) As outrageous as it is to hear about the new sex-ed curriculum for New York City schools, beginning with middle schools, there are some school districts for which the program does not start early enough.

Daniel J. Mitchell: Former SEIU Head Praises China Econ Model I was flabbergasted when Andy Stern, a former union boss and long-time Obama ally, wrote a column for today’s Wall Street Journal praising the efficiency and vitality of China’s planned economy.

Diana West: Latrine Directive Another Step on Path to Islamification Having written countless columns and blog posts arguing that the see-no-Islam counterinsurgency strategy (COIN) has led to failure in two wars in the umma (Muslim world) and the dhimmification of the U.S. military, it's almost funny to see the debate more or less officially joined over my recent column on what appears to be simply the gross-out, PG-13 movie topic of peeing toward Mecca. Or, rather, not peeing toward Mecca. Or, rather, not peeing toward Mecca.

David Sterman: Stocks in This Developed Country are too Cheap to Ignore Home to the world's second-largest economy, Japan has seen its main stock index, the Nikkei, tumble, tumble again and tumble some more during the past 20 years.

Michael Whalen: Elizabeth Warren's Upside Down Argument Elizabeth Warren, liberal candidate for the senate in Massachusetts, recently declared that nobody succeeds on their own in the country. This is true. There are always many people involved in any success. But she took it one step further, stating that success is a gift from civilized society..

Michael Brown: Sex Education and the Assault on Children's Innocence (Part 1) Well, the truth be told, I made it all up, but I did so to illustrate a point, namely, that much of the current sex-ed curricula in our schools borders on being criminal and, in many ways, it is just as irresponsible as my fictitious scenario.

Tony Katz: 30 Tons of Occupied Social Justice The remains of Occupy LA were hauled off to the city dump, by the city, at the taxpayers’ expense. The amount of trash? Approximately 30 tons.

Ann Coulter: Once You Go Conservative Black, You Better Watch Your Back With the mainstream media giddily reporting on an alleged affair involving Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain, how long can it be before they break the news that their 2004 vice presidential candidate conceived a "love child" with his mistress, Rielle Hunter?
