Political Wire: "Sen. Barack Obama begins the presidential campaign with 'some overwhelming advantages' over Sen. John McCain, a USA Today/Gallup Poll finds, 'but voters also express doubts about the Illinois senator's experience and ability to handle the job of commander in chief.' Overall, Obama leads McCain nationwide by six points, 50% to 44%."

Juan Cole: "I do know that the apocalypse that the United States has unleashed upon Iraq is among the greatest catastrophes to befall any country in the past 50 years. It is a much worse disaster over time than the Burmese cyclone or the Mississippi floods. You won't see it on television very much these days. Even if it gets better, it won't get better very fast for all those millions wounded, widowed, orphaned, and displaced; as for the 1 million dead, as they say in Arabic, God have mercy on them (Allah yarhamhum). Maybe it will get better sooner for the politicians in the Green Zone. They are the sort of people that the think tanks in Washington seem to care about."

Colorado Independent: "The Four Corners region has long been tapped for carbon fuels that, when burned, contribute to global warming. But new research in the region eventually may provide a solution to the global warming dilemma, by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and injecting it into coal seams deep below the Earth's surface."
