From the Pork Barrel: Smile!

* Some people are wondering why John Edwards is smiling in these mug shots that were just released. I have a feeling he thinks he posing for a coin.

* You know, it's definitely kind of gross that Rep. Anthony Weiner asked that porn star to lie about their relationship. But, you know, I'll bet that wasn't the grossest thing he asked her to do.

* Good news everybody! Nancy Pelosi has successfully grown wealth in the U.S. by 62 percent. For herself at any rate.

* I used to think that Michele Bachmann was a crazy lady with no shot at winning the presidency. Now I think she's a crazy lady with no chance at winning the presidency, but that she's fun to read about.
