And . . . . they're off!

I've got weird synergetic war news clashing in my brain today - teaching about World War II in two different classes, reading Vietnam material for next semester, listening to Rachel Maddow talking about Iraq on Air America, and ruminating about the similarities and differences. Any guesses as to American death count by the time we finally pull our heads out of our asses and our asses out of Baghdad?

But enough about real things. John McCain, Rudy Giuliani, Joe Biden, and the immortal Tom Vilsack are running for president and Russ Feingold isn't (see the Washington Post article linked above).

I got $100 bucks that says neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama make it to the Democratic National Convention as viable candidates.
