Last we saw the 5th Anniversary of the war in Iraq. Today news broke that we have also lost 4,000 Americans to this unjust, un-American, and irresponsible war. In honor of the fallen The Huffington Post's Nico Pitney has put together a mosaic of "the 4,000 brave men and women who sacrificed everything for us -- and the two men who would continue this great tragedy, despite the cost to our soldiers, our military, and our nation."

Did the WGA strike leave them with too much time on their hands or is Hollywood's interest legit? Some are definitely treating the election like the latest It Bag, but I think others are genuinely concerned. Here is Jack Nicholson's foray into the political endorsement arena.

When we praise someone for his or her intelligence, athletic ability, or whatever, we are automatically acknowledging that there are people of less intelligence and fewer physical capabilities. Not only do we understand that people are unequal but... Read Full Story
See the clip here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9LhWUsrJnM The comments from Senator Clinton have pushed race to the forefront of the election, an issue that (surprisingly) hasn't gotten that much attention until recently. Many have jumped at the chance to use her comments to brand the senator, who has spen much of her career closely aligned with the African American community a closet racist.
