Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki said he will shake up his Cabinet within two weeks and that officials -- including members of parliament -- would face prosecution for ties to insurgents, sectarian militias and death squads.

Greyhawk: .
Jules Crittenden: It’s Open Mike Nite at the Kharnival of the Iranities. Some of our standups will have you howling. Some might merit a polite chuckle. None of it’s really funny at all, but that’s another matter. ...
the shill for carbon offsets investors is the real story. As Gore jets around the world pounding the drum of global warming and generating fear that if we don't do something right now it may be too late, he quietly pockets the profits from his own carbon offset investment firm for that invests in "green" technology. So, when Gore stumps for global warming, it has the nice (for him) side effect of enriching him and increasing the value of his company. ...
Nathan Bradfield: Rev. Dr. Jeremiah Wright, Barak Obama’s pastor, went on Hannity & Colmes last night to respond to claims that his church is a black separatist congregation. He failed miserably and embarrassed his congregation as well the entire denomination, whatever that is: ...

Blake Dvorak: Almost everything now being written about the 2008 race should be prefaced with "It's still early but..."

Ed Morrissey: CQ readers have had plenty of moment-by-moment coverage of the Conservative Political Action Conference, but how has CPAC played to the national media?
John Hinderaker: Last night, Paul wrote that Mitt Romney hit for extra bases at CPAC yesterday. Paul singled out several aspects of Romney's speech as notable. I assume video of Romney's entire speech is available somewhere on the web, but in the meantime, has posted these excerpts. I would judge them as favorably as Paul did the speech in its entirety. Here is Romney on Reagan conservatism: ...
Ed Morrissey: It remained rather quiet here until just a few moments ago, when Mike Stark showed up and tried to provoke an argument here on Bloggers Row. In case you didn't read about this on Hot Air, Stark showed up yesterday to get an autograph from Michelle Malkin and then started about CPAC attendees not enlisting in the military...
