Read a great article by Al Franken about the media coverage in Iraq. Franken deftly illustrates that the backlash against the supposedly "negative" reports about Iraq in the mainstream media is unjustified and how realistic appraisals of the situation do not diminish the micro-stories of positive growth and progress made by our troops currently on the ground. The more I hear about/from Franken the more impressed I am -hopefully there is some possibility of him running for office one day and he can show that a background in comedy is really quite perfect training for a future in politics (certainly better training than acting)! How about this: Al Franken/John Stewart in '08!
