Business Insider: "Bachmann Strikes a Pose for Conservative Women of 2012 Calendar"

"2012 presidential hopeful Michelle Bachmann has posed for the annual American Conservative Women calendar, spotlight 12 right-leaning — and good-looking — ladies in American politics," writes Grace Wyler in Business Insider.

The calendar, organized every year by the Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, features a spread of the Congresswoman in front of the National Arboretum in Washington. Interestingly, Bachmann's photo appears on the page for December — after the 2012 presidential election.

U.S. Reps. Ann Marie Buerkle (R-NY), Renee Ellmers (R-N.C.), and Jaime Herrera Beutler (R-WA), as well as conservative commentators Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin also made the cut.

The Ticket: "Bachmann Poses for Calendar"

"Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann will make a cameo in a 2012 calendar put out by a nonprofit conservative women's group--but, unless you skip ahead, you won't see her until after the November election," writes Chris Moody at The Ticket.

The "Great American Conservative Women" calendar, organized annually for the past seven years by the Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, features a full-page photo on its December page of the Minnesota congresswoman in the National Arboretum in Washington, D.C.

Washington Examiner: "Gorgeous GOPs: Bachmann Featured in 2012 Conservative Women Calendar"

"Yesterday, finally, the seventh annual Claire Boothe Luce Policy Institute calendar for 2012 honoring 12 American conservative women was released," writes Devonia Smith at the Washington Examiner.

The eagerly awaited calendar showcases the accomplishment and leadership of conservative women, one each chosen to be featured for each of its twelve months. This year's theme, “Life Outside the Spotlight,” shines on each of the twelve in her personal environment -  chosen by the lady herself.

Daily Caller: "Conservative Women Get Comfortable for 2012 Calendar"

"The Clare Boothe Luce Policy Institute, a conservative women's group, has released its annual calendar showcasing female movers and shakers in the U.S. conservative movement," writes Caroline May at the Daily Caller.

While the monthly 2012 wall calendar is full of good looking women, the Institute keeps the exercise a testament to brains over beauty, in keeping with the ideals of its founder.

Elle Magazine: "The Best and the Rightest"

"A new generation of conservative women is stepping forward to dis feminists and cheer low taxes, guns, and motherhood," teases Elle magazine above Nina Burleigh's article. It's an interesting read. (Townhall.com's Katie Pavlich comments on the article here.)

Liberal Dogma = 'Feral Children' = Rioting and Looting

Max Hastings starts a bit of a verbal riot of his own with his UK Daily Mail article headline, "Years of liberal dogma have spawned a generation of amoral, uneducated, welfare dependent, brutalised youngsters."

Hastings cites several examples, including the now widely-reported comments to media by a female looter, who hopes for another night of rioting and fun. "It's the government's fault, though. The Conservatives. It's not even a riot. It's showing the police we can do what we want," she says, adding later, "It's the rich people. The people who have got businesses. That's why all this is happening. We're just showing the rich people we can do what we want."

Tea Partiers Debating Right Question in Debt Crisis, says Brit

America's bitterly divided debt debate got cheers from UK Telegraph columnist Janet Daley, who credits America's Tea Partiers with debating the right question:

The truly fundamental question … is being debated only in America: is it possible for a free market economy to support a democratic socialist society?

Daley chastises fellow Brits (and American liberals) for failing to recognize the 'untenable doctrine' of the  post-WWII national welfare model of governance:

It's the Ideology, Not the Man

President Obama's cousin, Dr. Milton Wolf, pens an interesting op-ed in which he argues that liberals' growing displeasure with the President was predictable and as absurd as their earlier deification of him.

Gender Spinning the Employment Numbers

Economics professor Mark J. Perry dissects a July 2011 Pew Research Center study, "In Two Years of Economic Recovery, Women Lost Jobs, Men Found Them." In the opening statement, Pew suggested the recovery favored men over women, and media jumped all over the story line.

Digging deeper (see chart), Perry arrives at a different conclusion:
