More on Romney Religion Speech  —  The venue is not a surprise, since Romney has given a previous major address (on defense policy) at the Bush library, and the two families are very close.  And Texas, of course, was also the venue for John F. Kennedy's famous speech on religion in 1960 …

And now for some shoddy war reporting...from an NRO milblogger  —  Ugh.  This is bad on many levels.  W. Thomas Smith, Jr., a former Marine and milblogger who writes at National Review Online's The Tank (and whose work in Iraq I've praised and linked to here), posts a long-winded defense of bogus …

Re: Lebanon & "The Tank"  —  I was going to wait until a decent hour on Monday morning to bring readers' attention to "The Tank" Lebanon issue again but since everybody is working for the weekend, I'll weigh in tonight.  Delay does no one any favors, especially the truth.

Jay Leno turns traitor: Fires his writers  —  I guess passing out some donuts while wearing his Republican lapel pin to striking writers was as far he was willing to go.  What a putz. … Bob Cesca says:
Adam Nagourney / New York Times:
Lonely No More, Huckabee Faces Hurdles  —  Mike Huckabee spent the weekend in New Hampshire, where he saw something he had rarely seen in his two years as a Republican candidate for president: People.  Lots of them.  Living rooms and halls packed with voters, campaign aides, reporters and jostling television crews.

Jeb'd  —  state of Florida. … Don't know if Siedle has information or if he's just making a guess, but I too suspect that the last gasp of Big S**tpile involved finding marks in state and local governments.

Mark Steyn / The Australian:
A loss for civilisation  —  ACCORDING to my Oz-watching pals in Britain and the US, John Howard is not a failure but a victim of his own success.  He made Australia safe for the Labor Party: or, at any rate, safe enough that a sufficient number of bored electors were willing to take a flier …

Jonah Goldberg / New York Post:
CNN'S VIRTUAL REALITY  —  ITS ORDINARY WORLD IS ANYTHING BUT  —  By now you've probably heard that CNN made such a laughingstock of itself at the recent YouTube debate in Florida that it could only have been worse if host Anderson Cooper conducted it in fluent Klingon.
Marc Horne / Scotsman:
Bagpipes a threat to the environment (and we're not talking noise pollution)  —  THEY were once outlawed for being used as seditious weapons of war.  Now, bagpipes have been blasted as an environmental menace.  —  Over-intensive logging means that the African wood used to make Scotland's national instrument faces being wiped out.

Memo to Obama: win Iowa or lose the race  —  Not that you have asked for advice, but here it is anyway: Iowa is your chance to best her.  If you do not do it there, odds are you never will anywhere.  You are way behind her in most national polls.  The only way to change that is to beat …
