...paragraphs in the speech that mentioned the war. In what might be the single most depressing understatement of the year, McCain noted it "has not gone well." But anyone expecting a shift in policy was disappointed. Rather, he reiterated the points that he had previewed to Jon Stewart the night before - that we made mistakes getting into the war, that we shouldn't make the same mistakes again and well, there was a certain lacuna in his remarks.

Yeah, well, get this, pal: we never mattered...
...like to see Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, for actually providing quality news. A recent Pew study shows the majority of Americans who know the most about current affairs get their news from these guys! I also nominate Ellen Miller, of the Sunlight Foundation, for providing the tools to professional and citizen journalists to see who is paying for what in Congress...
