• Six months later, Haiti is still a mess.
• Sarah Palin's PAC has raised zillions and doled out crisp ten-dollar bills to a couple candidates.
• Sharron Angle is very upset with Harry Reid for saving jobs, because that is "stimulus," even when it is not.
• John McCain resents naked Senator Scott Brown.
• Why did the Bush Justice Department allow the New Black Panther Party to intimidate white people? Hmm? (Also, Dave Weigel is guesting at Andrew Sullivan's place.)
• Republican congressmen Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and Kevin McCarthy have written a book about how wonderful they all are, and they stole the name and cover photo for this book from a 2007 Weekly Standard cover.
• Ramesh Ponnuru: "A reform that made the federal government more redistributive, but smaller and more efficient, would be worthwhile." Sign me up?
• David Vitter is unsurprisingly birther-friendly.
