Why Sarah Palin Quit
TIME | 25 m ago
Although her stated reasons are hard to pin down, insiders say the Alaska governor's decision is unlikely to lead to a presidential run in 2012...
Weekend Opinionator: Did Madoff Get More Than He Deserved?
NYT: Opinionator | 53 m ago
On Saturday America turns 233 years old, but the first chance Bernie Madoff will have to celebrate the Fourth of July as a free man will be the nation's 383rd birthday. Before you enjoy any schadenfreude, however, remember that you and I are no more likely to make that party than he is....
The Many Scenarios of Mickey
NRO: The Corner | 1 h ago
I don't apologize for posting his entire post here, because if you want the links to every theory, you have to go over there. Mickey Writes:
I can see 5 6 7 8 9 10 Palin theories ... and counting: 1) She's running for president; 2) She's undergoing fame withdrawal and plans to...
Hard to Figure
NRO: The Corner | 2 h ago
If Sarah Palin was trying to make news today, she had odd timing. At a time when Farah Fawcett and Ed McMahon's deaths paled -- almost as much as another recently departed celebrity's skin -- into insignificance, perhaps she hoped her resignation on a holiday Friday would pass unnoticed....
'Schmidt Wins'?
NRO: The Corner | 2 h ago
Now that strikes me as beltway talk, even micro-beltway talk. Schmidt's behavior would not be excusable even if the things he said we're proven true (and I don't think they have been). Schmidt was given a monumental privilege, to essentially run a presidential campaign for a candidate...

Paul Begala: Sarah Palin Turns Pro
Huffington Post: The Blog | 41 m from now
I wish Hunter S. Thompson had lived to see this.
As Hunter said, "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." Sarah Palin makes Mark Foley, the congressman who sent filthy emails to pages look almost normal. She makes David Vitter, the senator who was hanging out with hookers,...
Perhaps Palin is Running for President?
Taegan Goddard | 37 m from now
Charlie Cook, one of our favorite political analysts, emails his reaction to Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin resigning earlier today. I'm not surprised that Palin isn't running for re-election, but resigning did catch me off guard. I wonder whether it will be possible to be a sitting governor...
Quote of the Day

"Only dead fish go with the flow."
-- Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin (R), explaining her decision to step down as governor.
Friday Night Trivia
Taegan Goddard | 2 h ago
From the forthcoming CQ's Politics in America: In the 1960s, Sen. Arlen Specter (D-PA), as a top aide to the Warren Commission, helped devise the "single bullet" theory that a lone gunman was responsible for the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Rep. Pete Stark (D-CA) is...
