Here are two items I came across this morning and thought it would interesting to pass along:

1. ABC News reports that Harriet Miers, the President's pick to be the newest Supreme Court associate justice, earned an undergraduate math degree before getting a law degree from SMU.

2. I've written about it before, I'll write on it again. If the Republican Party knows what's best for itself, it will again become the party of small government. Otherwise, it's just become the Democrat party of the 50's. Instapundit has a post that collects a few choice quotes.
