Good morning from Washington. As we close out 2021, we've got a look from Ben Shapiro on the insane lawmaker responses to COVID-19 this year, and a round-up from Tim Graham on celebrities' faux pas. Tim Murtaugh, meanwhile, examines the media's behavior. He's not a fan. Plus: Sally Pipes on Obamacare's woes and Katie Tubb on the Biden administration's hostility to wise energy policies. We'll join you in raising a glass tonight: We're hoping that 2022 is a better year for our country than 2021 was.
