Ron Paul Raises Five Times As Much As Huckabee  —  Oh me of little faith.  Ron Paul cannot be dismissed as a gadfly; the chance for him to outperform expectations rises exponentially with additional million dollars he raises.  5.08m is real money.  There must be, within the Republican Party, a vein of anti-war libertarian sentiment.

The Daily Show: Chris Matthew's "Book about Sadness"  —  Chris Matthews has always puzzled me as a talking head.  There's always been this strange disconnect between his embarrassingly slavish adulation of political figures (please, don't make me repeat the glimmering GWB, the manly-smelling Fred Thompson, etc.

Weak Has a Face, and It's Pelosi's  —  If there was any doubt before, which there wasn't, it's gone now.  Watching Nancy Pelosi on The View yesterday morning provided the final proof that the backbone of the House is only as strong as its speaker.  Her body language said it all.

A Conservative Approach  —  I'm always bashing the Cornerites for not being conservative, so it behooves me to point out when the kind of conservatism I admire reveals itself.  Jonah Goldberg is not what most would call a drug-legalizer (with the possible exception of pot).
