Iraq awaited initial results yesterday from polls touted as a test of its young democracy, with Bag-hdad holding the key as the PM’s list and its top secular rival fought for pole position. The election commission had promised to provide initial results by the evening, but it later said it had not yet counted the 30 per cent of the votes it needed to announce preliminary findings. Iraq’s complex range of political blocs would now have to wait until today at the earliest for the first official indication of how they fared in the second general election since the 2003 fall of Saddam Hussein. PM Nuri al-Maliki emerged as the front-runner on Monday. ... Source: en.newsxs.com --- 55 minutes ago

Just read an opinion piece in the New York Times that suggested that George W. Bush’s reputation may already be on the mend — there’s even a billboard that has his smiling continence that says “do you miss me yet?” And a blog I read noted that the ever-confusing Sarah Palin told or implied to a Canadian audience that as a child she recalls going to Canada with here folks to get government health care — that’s the Canada that has socialized medicine, something Palin says will ruin America. Both George W. and Palin have about the same mentality, it seems. Both went to college but did not seem to take much away from it. The difference is that George W. was from a politically and socially and businessly (okay not a word, but it goes along with the other two) well-connected family, which allowed him to overcome his ignorance and somehow made people, enough anyway, overlook his tendency to gaffes and terrible misuse of the language and made it possible for him to run for president and actually win — two times. The first time was due to a quirk in our presidential election system which does not require that the candidate with the most votes wins (never made sense to me either) and a miscalculation by Al Gore not to have all of the Florida votes counted, rather than trying to cherry pick ones out of supposedly Democratic strongholds, and the second time due to the fact that the Democrats actually found someone with an emptier suit that Geor ...

The Christian Science Monitor The Iraq election committee is expected to have a third of the votes from Sunday's parliamentary elections counted by today, with the first results to be announced tomorrow. But it's already known that there was far greater participation in Sunni Arab-dominated provinces than in previous parliamentary votes. As reported by the Monitor this week, Iraq's Independent High Electoral Commission put total turnout at 62 percent – slightly higher than the 55 to 60 percent observers expected, but a significant drop from the 79.6 percent turnout in the last parliamentary elections four years ago.

Authorities are still searching for the person who attacked him and caused severe brain damage. Louisville, Ky. (WHAS11) - Frustrated, disappointed and looking for answers; an Iraq war veteran wants people to remember his story as his search for justice continues. Authorities are still searching for the person who attacked him and caused severe brain damage. On Wednesday he'll have another risky brain surgery. The last few months have been anything but a walk in the park for him and his mother. “They expected me to die within the first two weeks of being in the hospital and luckily I didn't,” says Andrew Howell, an Iraq war veteran. Andrew and his mother are sharing a journey they never thought they'd be on. It all started when Andrew was punched in the head at the Granville Inn in Old Louisville in November. It was a punch so intense it left Howell brain damaged and doctors had to remove a portion of his skull, forcing him to wear a helmet. “That’s why I really want someone to come forward, I would really appreciate it if they did,” he says. Howell and police don't know who attacked him. Tomorrow he'll have a risky surgery to repair the area where doctors removed his skull. And before he goes in for the procedure he is making another plea to the community because he says this could be someone else's story too. “I want to continue with this because they're still out there. If they hit me they will hit someon ... Source: en.newsxs.com --- 4 hours ago
