The folks over at Good have a tendency to turn us on to bad news, including this: “For the second year in a row, more American soldiers—both enlisted men and women and veterans—committed suicide than were killed in the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Excluding accidents and illness, 462 soldiers died in combat, while 468 committed suicide. A difference of six isn’t vast by any...
A SOTU correction from IAVA:
Last night, our nation listened closely to the President’s State of the Union address.
We heard words. We heard rhetoric. But we didn’t hear a concrete plan of action to tackle any of the most urgent issues facing new veterans and their families. Nothing on veteran unemployment. And nothing on the staggering rate of military and veteran suicides.

My dad on Lebanon:
If that’s not the saddest, silliest country on the planet it’s got to be close. Unlike most of its rivals for that distinction, it has an awful lot going for it. The problem there – as here and come to think of it most other places wasting newspaper space these days – is that there is no apparent moderate voice.

Hey, conservatives: this is your presumptive GOP front-runner for the 2012 presidential elections.
Go on, keep defending her.
Honestly, that’s a little close-minded. She’s not running for President, for crying out loud. But Tim Pawlenty is. And he’s pretty damn hard to hate.
