The Big Money

Miami Herald columnist Carl Hiaasen wrote a critique today of all the Democratic presidential candidates' scramble for enough cash to win Iowa and a shot at the White House.

Although he's known for his acid, sarcastic tone, Hiaasen wrote a touching elegy for Lawton Chiles soon after his death. Unfortunately, 1998 is too far back to link to it. You'd have to pay to see the archive.
