I Sense a Movement Coming

Remember Iraq

What's going on there? Is it true, as we are told, over and over, that the surge is working?

Remember the soldiers? Many of them think they have been forgotten by us back here in the homeland. What is their perspective? I recommend learning more, and one small way to start is to read a soldier's blog . . . Kaboom.

RIP Russert

Tim Russert died today. It's a very sad shock. And this election just won't seem the same without him. I have been critical of Russert, for his unseemly closeness to lawmakers and for the general style of gotcha questioning that was not always very informative, but that is only because I knew what a great journalist he could be, as evidenced by this transcript of a MTP with Cheney in the run up to the Iraq war.

He will be missed.
