Quick take headlines: the war on terra
Let's start with Iraq. The government there has moved to expel the mercenary contrator firm Blackwater USA from their country, following a shooting incident that killed eight Iraqis. Now, the scoop is that such an expulsion could complicate any plan to pull U.S. troops out of that country.

Closer to home, the Liberty City Seven trial is under way, with jury selection having started yesterday. We spoke with the attorney for one of the men on the show this morning, and I'll be watching this one. In my opinion, this is as clear cut a case of government railroading in order to prove that there really is a war on terror (requiring us all to be surveilled) as I've ever seen.

What's hot on the blogs? Taser Guy (of course, it all happened in FLORIDA!) He's out of jail now, but some people -- myself included -- are asking: why the hell didn't John Kerry stop talking and do something??? Meanwhile, the wingers, including Drudge and Breitbart, are on the war path against Andrew Meyer. The hot phrase of the day: "Don't tase me bro!"

Why won't the major GOP presidential candidates debate in front of a Black audience at Morgan State? The debate will be broadcast live on PBS and hosted by Tavis Smiley, and now Republicans are starting to worry that their party appears not to be interested in pursuing the Black vote. Cornel West? Please advise.

And finally ... it's one thing not to believe in evolution ... that's retrograde enough. But to not be sure whether the world is flat or round? Damn!
