I have a new hero

I don't have a TV but the kind folks at Crooks and Liars post video of all the relevant news bits, so I feel like I don't miss much.

This interview with correspondent Lara Logan about reporting the Iraq war makes me realize that I am not even one-hundredth the journalist she is. I am not fit to carry her video cables. She lays out exactly why there isn't more "happy news" coming out of Iraq and why all the coverage seems like such a downer. Hint: it's not the journalists' fault.

And for some hard, bitter laughter, here is the week's editorial cartoon round up. A picture and a few words are worth a thousand words, or something like that.
