Op-Ed Columnist – War’s Psychic Toll – NYTimes.com
With all the fights over Dick Cheney being a dick and whether not being white means you are a racist, we don’t hear a lot of news about Iraq these days. Thankfully, Bob Herbert takes the time to address the mental pain our warriors are enduring as a result of this misguided war.
Gizmodo – Stem Cell Contact Lenses Cure Blindness in Less Than a Month – Stem Cells
For some, like me, the Age of Obama is a little underwhelming of late. Gitmo is still in operation, Cheney isn’t in prison, racists can run amok speaking hate on TV and gays are second class citizens. The world still hates us and we’re still spying on our own people.
That said, things are changing, and here’s a big one that comes from our pals Down Under. Thanks to stem cells – yeah, “evil” stem cells – scientists there have restored sight to the blind.

Plus, apparently she demands Obama not pick another woman for VP. Truly, when does someone stop her from being able to demand anything?
And I couldn’t watch more than a couple minutes of it, but damn, was McCain hosting a supper club meeting? What a freak show.
More on the whole night, writ large.
And more reactions on Obama.
