"If the war in Iraq was going better, we wouldn't still be asking how we got into it. But it isn't, so we are...." - Chris Matthews on the Iraq War.

Meanwhile in Afghnistan: protests at the main U.S. Afghan base.
Teen exposes the military's sleazy recruitng tactics but he gets attacked, WTF pt. II?
And is it any wonder that the military have had to get sleazy and lower their standards when the real number of U.S. military that have died in Iraq is over 7,000.

And here at home, are things better or worse when Jessica Simpson is the only artist in the creative community standing up and speaking out on the madness in Iraq. I now have to apologize for putting her on blast on July 4th.
"I Love Karl Rove!"
And finally, it hasn't been in the news much recently but Matt Taibbi promises that the Ohio election story is going to come back.
