Candidate Calculator

Stu found a website that claims to help you figure out which candidate to vote for in 2008. By simply answering yes, no or unsure to if you support an issue, the site calculates who you agree with the most and who you disagree with the most. Stu did the test and Fred Thompson came out on top. Dan did the test and Mitt Romney came in first place. Glenn took the test and his top candidate was---quite honestly---a tad surprising. See Glenn's results here. Take the test here. (Insiders listen to Glenn take the quiz).

Mike Huckabee

Before you go and take your results from the candidate calculator straight to the voting booth with you, be sure to take into consideration that, as part of his interview with Glenn today, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee also was subjected to the candidate calculator. Mostly, Glenn asked the questions to get our audience familiar with one of the candidates on the rise in the race for the 2008 GOP nomination, but it also served as a validity test for the candidate calculator itself. Who did the computer say Mike Huckabee should vote for? (Hint: According to the test, Huckabee agrees with himself 71% of the time). View Huckabee's results.

Misdirection in the Media

While the media is focusing on the 'General Betrayus' MoveOn debacle and the Rush Limbaugh fake controversy, the government is busy doing other things. Perhaps that is why Senate Majority leader Harry Reid is busy drafting letters to CEO's of companies instead of talking about what's really going on. What is really going on? Oh, just the usual in government. Representative John Dingell from Michigan, is proposing a solution to the imminent threat that is global warming. The solution is---to raise taxes. Yup, that's some more big thinking from the folks in Washington, D.C. Once again they believe that the best way to solve a problem is by raising taxes. Glenn lays out how the global warming issue has turned into nothing more than an attempt at socialism. The money raised from the taxes wouldn't go toward helping global warming---Glenn shows you where it will be dumped into instead. Read the transcript. (Insiders listen here).

'Ebbed'

Glenn was reading the New York Times and noticed a peculiar headline: "Iraqi Violence Ebbed" last month. That leads one to believe it's a minor change. It was actually a 50% decline in civilian deaths in the last month. If unemployment goes up by .5% and the Times would announce something like 'there's a crisis in the Bush administration!'---but a 50% drop in civilian deaths is just ebbing?
