Headline of the week must go to today's Daily Express ( www.express.co.uk ) for its front page splash - which says that MPs are looking for a £40,000 pay rise - to compensate for the loss of their allowances and expenses.

by Mark Silva A lot of things have moved pretty quickly in the Obama administration. But not presidential pardons. This week, according to one of the nation's authorities on presidential pardons, President Barack Obama passes Richard Nixon in the lineup of presidents slowest to grant their first pardons.

For the better part of today, I have been reading reactions among the right to the news of Dede Scozzafava's withdrawl from the NY-23 race.
