July Becomes Deadliest Month for Iraqis Since '08
By not in system - AOL NewsBAGHDAD (Aug. 1) -- July was Iraq's deadliest month in more than two years, according to new official figures, suggesting that a resilient insurgency is successfully taking advantage of the months of deadlock in forming a new government.

Minnesota Update: Still Thinking about Counting Votes
By Dave - Politics DailyCurrent status from TwinCities.com: Absentee ballots at issue that may be counted are about 3500. Franken still has a 225 vote lead. 1,000 votes that Coleman agreed to count on Jan 3, Coleman now wants to reconsider and remove them from the vote. Coleman's attorneys want to review the legal status of all 290k votes in light of last Friday's rulings narrowing the types of absentee ballots it would accept for counting. One hitch: It would be impossible as those previously counted absentee ballots have long ago had the envelopes removed. Thus the maneuver is likely to highlight the fundamental ...

If the SC takes the case, the decision will be handed down in June, just in time to bring the 2nd amendment to the top of the issues list in what will then be a white hot political campaign. The decision could go three ways... ...
