"The political blogs that may be the “best” of all, the most controversial, homespun, animated, original, creative and downright emotional spill from the 365-day-a-year bloggers. In this subdivision live blogs where big doses of commonsense social commentary are laced with searing political rants. Many are punctuated with posts on personal daily anecdotes, tragic and celebratory, virally propagated YouTube videos, and other miscellaneous content like a favorite recipe, baby and pet photos, and the general political-social sandwich which is daily life—take United States of Motherhood, for example. Blog traffic matters less here, up, down, or all around, many sites are enviable simply for their endurance and “balls-to-the-walls” earnestness: who cares who stops by, I’m speaking my mind regardless. If you’re ever in this neighborhood trip out on one of these popular and creative reads: Little Green Footballs, Smashed Frog and Betsy’s Page."

The best day EVER. President Obama seeks to bring our men and women HOME.
This is the second hint of that in just ten days. I watch like a freakin hawk. Did you know that Italy has convicted TWENTY THREE AMERICANS to prison terms and the tentacles are about to reach up to that moron GWB and his puppet master, the dick cheney. et.al.
Now the good news from THE BEST PRESIDENT IN THE ENTIRE WORLD:
Official: Obama won't take any current war options

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama does not plan to accept any of the Afghanistan war options presented by his national security team, pushing instead for revisions to clarify how and when U.S. troops would turn over responsibility to the Afghan government, a senior administration official said Wednesday.
That push follows strong reservations about a possible troop buildup expressed by the U.S. ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, according to a second top administration official. In strongly worded classified cables to Washington, Eikenberry said he had misgivings about sending in new troops while there are still so many questions about the leadership of Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
Obama is still close to announcing his revamped war strategy — most likely shortly after he returns from a trip to Asia that ends on Nov. 19.
But the president raised questions at a war council meeting Wednesday that could alter the dynamic of both how many additional troops are sent to Afghanistan and what the timeline would be for their presence in the war zone, according to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss Obama's thinking.

The war is now in its ninth year and is claiming U.S. lives at a record pace. Corruption in Afghan government has also been a major concern.
Bring them home.
