It’s down to the wire in the last days of the Dish Awards. And David Frum has 31 percent of the votes in the Yglesias Award category, and Peggy Noonan has 30 percent. It’s the closest contest. Break the tie, will you? If you haven’t voted for one or the other, here’s Peggy’s entry and here’s David’s.
There’s also a nail-biter in the Hewitt Award category. Victoria Jackson has 25 percent; and Kim Crawford has 24 percent. Put one of them out of her misery.

From the AP:
Bristol Palin, 18, gave birth to Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Saturday, People magazine reported online. He weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces. Colleen Jones, the sister of Bristol’s grandmother, told the magazine that "the baby is fine and Bristol is doing well."
The governor’s office said it would not release information because it considers the baby’s birth a private, family matter. Palin family members, hospital employees and spokespeople for the governor’s former running mate, John McCain, either would not confirm the birth or did not return messages from The Associated Press.
