President ’08
Mildly Self-Serving Bump: Looks like my gut-feeling was right: Palin is the pick. I’ll leave it at this: finally, a conservative is on someone’s ticket. ======================= A la Sgt.

Yesterday brought a couple of opposing must-read columns from the right. First, John Derbyshire: So I won’t be watching either of the party conventions.
