10: Peggy Noonan remembered how graciously people in Olden Tymes accepted being quarantined, not like today's uppity Ebola nurses with their "rights" and their "medical knowing stuff."
9: On Election day, we dreamed of a tied Senate and a nigh-omnipotent Old Handsome Joe Biden. Those were such heady, hope-filled days, back on Tuesday.
8: The day after the Great Republicanning, Democrats were talking about maybe acting like Democrats for a change, and the ghost of Will Rogers smiled as everyone remembed his line about not belonging to any organized political party.
7: Scott Brown became the first man ever to lose two Senate elections to women, and we reminded him of that t-shirt we like: "Don't think of it as losing to a girl. Just think of it as losing."
6: A mentally unstable man in Oklahoma tried to behead a guy who he thought was a witch, and nobody seemed to think it meant all Christians are murderous thugs.
5: Mitch McConnell would like to be Senate Majority Leader, and who knows, maybe Ted Cruz will let him do that.
4: James Lankford is Oklahoma's new senator, and Yr Editrix knows just how terrible he will be.

2: Mitch McConnell and John Boehner wrote an op-ed piece with lots of new ideas, like repealing Obamacare, killing Obamacare, and drowning Obamacare in a bathtub. And immigration reform, which will come out of committee as an Obamacare repeal.

His quest to avoid prolixity is not going so great.
