Continued supply of "explosively formed projectiles" from Iran is keeping troop casualties high in Iraq. Democratic-led investigation into prewar intelligence gains steam, though Sec. Rice ensures not too much steam. Sen. Clinton proposes de-authorizing the Iraq War on the fifth anniversary of its authorization. Sen. Obama put under Secret Service protection, though not because of any "known specific or credible threat." Today's long read: "The Return of the Idiot," or how Latin American leaders tend to repeat themselves. City officials back an FBI probe into the LAPD's use of rubber-bullets and batons to break up Tuesday's immigration rally. Two killed when Cuban military deserters attempt to hijack a plane bound for the States. Prominent anti-terror judge brings new charges against Carlos the Jackal. With 137 homicides this year and counting, Philadelphia sues Harrisburg for better gun control laws. California now officially massive. Somebody at Sony was out to lunch when "goat slaughtering as promotional event" was approved. "It's great to be alive, isn't it?" "No." The sound of two machines talking. It's not fair our neighbors to the north got graphic novel grammar books, while we were stuck with "The Elements of Style."
