Might be an insult to you, but I found his comments to be a powerful statement of the ultimate futility of the American policies and actions in Baghdad and Iraq generally.

Mui@148-I love Sam Seder. This is Air America’s loss. He should be broadcast 24/7.

I was cracking up yesterday listening to the wisdom of Katherine Harris

completely OT – last hour of the daily sam seder radio show… ends (i think) at noon edt. when it comes to ending the iraq occupation, sam has done his part. at least he will be back in a few weeks for a sunday show.

from bill scher’s tribute:

Sam was the first to recognize how blogs and radio can work together. How an army of bloggers function as volunteer researchers, digging up stories, making connections, offering fresh perspectives that aren’t being provided in traditional media. How a show’s own blog can give listeners the ability to communicate with the hosts in real time, and build community.

I love Sam Seder. This is Air America’s loss. He should be broadcast 24/7.

A friend of mine got married in Mosul on Tuesday.

Let’s all wish Eddie and his bride a long and happy life together.

Alas, the symbolic value of a ‘bridge’ connecting Sunni and Shia neighborhoods as reported was in error.

From Juan Cole today:

Al-Hayat also points out that the Sarrafiya Bridge, which was destroyed by a truck bombing on Thursday, had been a symbol of the cosmopolitan character of the capital. It was built by the British in the time of the monarchy (which ended in revolution in 1958). [Update: Al-Hayat was wrong in placing the bridge between Sunni and Shiite neighborhoods; I regret transmitting the error.]

2. I expect the Bush administration probably, by and large, cannot read for they would show up the Beloved Leader.

3. I know no one believes the precept “The further back you look into history, the further forward you can look to the future, whicgh is why the US is travelling down Rome’s road a lot more quickly than Rome got there, BUT, I should have thought there would be at least a few intelligent career folk working in State and DoD who might have rewad up about Iraq, not least Sir Arnold Wilson in the 20s who, having been the governor said that the three groups should be split into three different countries. It is not amazing, of course, that Nero I, Cheney, and Nero II, Bush, thought differently.

This is prob EPUd but there you go!

Thanks everyone for your patience this a.m. The server seems to be feeling better now.
