...have lots of conservative friends and often speak to Republican-leaning groups. I have something surprising to report: they're pretty cheerful. They're well aware that President Bush's numbers are terrible--and that Al Gore got an Academy Award. Yet my fellow conservatives and Republicans are pretty upbeat. After a rough 2006, conservative magazines are seeing an uptick in subscription renewals, right-wing websites are getting more hits, and Republican and conservative groups here at Harvard (yes, Harvard!) seem invigorated. What's going on? Here are five reasons conservatives and Republicans might have some cause for their cheer...

"I'm just gonna hang around and see who else might enter. You never know." Gore declines to give the film as much...
...Just as Gore & Co. are exiting the press room, Melissa Etheridge wins Best Original Song for "I Need to Wake Up" from their film. The Veep hoots, beams and nods while watching Etheridge's speech on the monitors before exiting to make way for Maestro Ennio Morricone and his translator...
