1. We miss Chris Matthews, too: "[H]is puppy-dog charm, his tendency to sort of bounce in his chair with glee. . . He's like a crazy little schoolboy. . . If cable news is merely a circus, he is the dancing bear in Ring 3." [Antidisingenuousmentarianism]

2. Rankings we didn't know existed: "[C]ursing on the Senate floor is less offensive than getting a hummer in — or near — the Oval Office." [ABC News]

4. Shock horror: O'Reilly loses temper. [WP]

5. First Amendment: Making a comeback. "The 2004 survey found that just 30 percent of those surveyed agreed with the statement, ‘The First Amendment goes too far in the rights it guarantees.'" [First Amendment Center via Romenesko]
