While Chris Matthews and Joe Scarborough talk about choosing a president based on orange juice and bowling scores, shit like this happens (via Atrios):
BAGHDAD (AFP) — A suicide car bomb and roadside bombings against have killed five US troops, including three marines, the American military announced on Tuesday.
Two marines were killed and three others wounded when a bomber slammed his explosives-laden car into a checkpoint near the western Iraqi city of Ramadi at around 7:30 am (0430 GMT), the military said.
Two Iraqi policemen and 24 civilians were also wounded in the attack near the city, the capital of Anbar province, which was once the symbol of Sunni Arab insurgency against US forces.
Joe Scarborough keeps talking about that goddamn Lee Greenwood song and how patriotism should be measured by how much we cry when we hear it -- how Senator Obama needs to somehow embrace that song. Really? This is the traditional media narrative?
