1607 Fifteen protestors

It's not often I watch CBS Evening News, but last night I caught the Road Tour by Sharon Alfonsi--she's trying to find war stories, as near as I can tell. She covered a war protest--15 people in Birmingham--a city of over a million. Wow. What a story. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Captain's Quarters found a hint of good news in the NYT and has a message for the Gray Lady (and the other MSM who can find nothing good going on in Iraq):

"Cheer up! We liberated 25 million people from a genocidal dictator, helped them create a National Assembly, watched as over 8 million of them voted freely last January, and now see them peacefully negotiating the laws under which they will govern themselves. Perhaps the Gray Lady finds democracy too distasteful for her scrubbed hands, but the rest of us find these developments very pleasing and reason for hope of eventual unity and peace."
