The MSM didn’t give this story any prominence (natch), but it’s some story:
U.S. deaths in Iraq fell in October to their lowest monthly level of the war, matching the record low of 13 fatalities suffered in July. Iraqi deaths fell to their lowest monthly levels of the year. Eight of the 13 Americans died in [...]

Town Councils are supposed to be involved with town business: fire departments, police departments, flood plans, earthquake plans, local zoning ordinances, etc. They are not supposed to be involved with national politics.

I’ve long been a fan of Bill Maudlin’s wonderful WWII cartoons depicting life on the front line. Todd DePastino, another admirer, has written a biography, Bill Mauldin: A Life Up Front, that definitely looks worth the read.
