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.

Secret U.S. Endorsement of Severe Interrogations  —  When the Justice Department publicly declared torture "abhorrent" in a legal opinion in December 2004, the Bush administration appeared to have abandoned its assertion of nearly unlimited presidential authority to order brutal interrogations.

Is That A Fat Lady I Hear Singing?  —  Pills Limbaugh just keeps diggin' and diggin'.  I've been delighted to see that it's been all over cable news today, and Wes Clark has been promoting the move to get Limbaugh off Armed Forces Radio Network.  Since that letter from Harry Reid et. al. condemning Rush …

Fred Thompson on Harry Reid's attacks on Rush Limbaugh  —  Congressional Democrats are trying to divert attention from insulting our military leader in Iraq and pandering to the loony left by attacking Rush Limbaugh.  He is one of the strongest supporters of our troops, yet Democrats claim he is not being strong enough.
Allahpundit / Hot Air:
Video: Crazed by Rush, Wes Clark calls for political discourse to be rated  —  He doesn't say who'll be doing the rating but he digs the idea of Congress yanking Rush Limbaugh off of Armed Forces Radio so presumably they'd be okay to head that up, too.  The point he's ostensibly trying …
George W. Bush / White House:
Message to the House of Representatives  —  TO THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:  —  I am returning herewith without my approval H.R. 976, the "Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2007," because this legislation would move health care in this country in the wrong direction.

Early On, Thompson Fails to Spark Excitement in Iowa  —  Twenty-four minutes after he began speaking in a small restaurant the other day, Fred Thompson brought his remarks to a close with a nod of his head and an expression of thanks to Iowans for allowing him to "give my thoughts about some things."

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.
Domenico Montanaro / MSNBC:
Another Fred gaffe  —  From NBC's Joel Seidman  —  More gaffes from Fred Thompson: Not only has he misspoken or said he didn't know about Terri Schiavo, or the controversy about oil drilling in the Everglades, or that he was unaware that a federal judge had ruled that lethal injection procedures …

White House Retaliates Against UK For Withdrawal: 'British Forces Have Performed Poorly' In Iraq  —  This week, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown announced that he would reduce British presence in Iraq from 5,500 troops to 4,500 by Christmas.  The Guardian reports today that Brown will cut …
Nicole Belle / Crooks and Liars:
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.
