We’re off for the holidays at The Ed Morrissey Show, but the next three days, I’ll offer classic TEMS episodes for viewers. One of my favorite shows in the post-election period was last week’s interviews with Lila Rose, the young woman who has gone undercover to expose the practices of Planned Parenthood in a series of videos, and Mary Katharine Ham. Chat will be up and running as well, so enjoy!

We’re also holding a fundraising drive for Twin Cities Marriage Encounter. I’ll be posting PayPal buttons for one-time and automatic monthly donations to this non-profit, which tries to build stronger communities by strengthening marriages, on my show posts until the end of the year. We now have a matching challenge!. If we can raise $1500 by January 15th, an anonymous Hot Air reader will match those funds himself. Donations are tax deductible! Please note The Ed Morrissey Show or Hot Air on the memo line so that we can keep track for the match challenge:
