Mickey Kaus is in Denver at the Dem convention and he writes about attending a panel discussion in which Democrats began to denounce the teacher's unions. Could this be the beginning of the end for one of our country's biggest problems?

The father of a soldier recently back from a 15-month tour in Afghanistan posted a youtube video that has caught the attention of the Pentagon and CNN. See the story here.

Another one of Obama's many faces emerged last week when pressed for his plan to withdraw all U.S. troops from Iraq. In his answer, he stated that of course we would leave forces behind to protect our diplomatic assets, but he also referred to a strike force that may be in Iraq or nearby.In the same answer, he disengenously brings up Sen. McCain's 100-year remarks, without noting the fact that

James Glanz writes of his time spent with Sadr's Milita in the alleys of Sadr City. He quotes a leader of the Mahdi Army:“We can’t face the armored tanks of the Americans face to face, because all we have is light guns,” he said. “So we just wait for a chance to attack something.” But they have some tactical advantages also:Either way, before dismissing the ragtag Mahdi fighters, it would be well

Wishing to close the racial divide through greater understanding? Here is a post by Robert Pierre explaining why he cut his dreadlocks:In the end, after all the personal point-making and all the career politics, it was just hair, too much hair.I know it answers some questions I've had.
