There was in interesting article on NRO, that traced the liberal fear and need to control conservatives to an old article in Harper’s magazine, by Hofstadter in the late sixties.

That's not correct, is it? I thought the show cost Discovery $1M per episode, but that's not all pure profit to Sarah Palin -- $250k/episode after costs might actually be on the mark.
I’m not privy to their contract, but I’ve read the $1 million dollar figure at several news websites.
