Here's another shot from Monday's sunset in Carlsbad, Calif., using my Olympus E-500.

The Democrats new leader in the war on terrorism, Rep. John Murtha has ... issues. (via Mickey Kaus) Murtha on whether or not there is a civil war going on in Iraq: [T]here's a civil war going. We're caught in between a civil war right now. Our troops are the targets of the civil war. […]
