The week after a vacation is always hard and I found myself missing the West several times over these few quickly darkening days. Luckily I had your wonderful comments to help me soldier on through. Many were good, but we breathe, sleep, and toil in a culture that only rewards the few, and so we'll do our part after the jump. There you'll find the five "best" comments of the week, as chosen by us, and the Party Pick comment, chosen by you.

• From CodePink in What Should Be Canceled Instead Of Pushing Daisies:
  "Incidentally, that Pushing Daisies picture looks like it went through Whimsitron and came out the other side so whimsified that basically looking at it puts me under the spell that if I see a rainbow in the next two years, I'll turn into a unicorn who sings Portuguese opera at midnight and glimmers gold when he flaps his wings."
• From Colonel Mustard in Steve Doocy Is The Only Person Still Thinking About Madonna's Breasts:
  "Watching Fox and Friends is sort of like watching a bunch of witches sip coffee and have a good time while roasting children on a spit. Like, they almost seem normal, and you kind of forget how evil they are for a second, and then one of them is picking baby out of their teeth with a rib bone."
• From weegee's bored in Riding GM To The Poorhouse:
  "If the government is going to start throwing piles of cash at those who produced things no one wants to buy, there may yet be a future for the publishing industry."
• From BookishLookish in Obama Children Protected From The Sins Of Miley Cryus For Now:
  " 'As a daddy, I'll say to him what I say to any daddy...it's probably a good thing not to pimp your kids out as they are about to enter pubescence, it kinda makes 'em feel like little whores...I don't know.' "
• From Steverino Begins in Why Is Entertainment Weekly So In The Tank For Twilight?:
  "EW is like Hillary Clinton in May 2008, desperately trying to latch onto any constituency that will keep them alive. Vampire-loving 12-year olds will do in this case, I guess."
• And your Party Pick goes to an old favorite, KarenUhOh in Ann Coulter's Top Secret New Book:
  "On the fifth day after Christmas, my true love gave to me a choice between this and five golden ringworms."

Good work everyone!
