CNN correspondent Michael Ware was present at the apology ceremony and filed his own report:

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- What the Iraqi fighter found threatened America's vital alliance with Sunni militia.

A week ago in a police station shooting range on Baghdad's western outskirts, the American-allied Iraqi militiaman found what one or more GIs had been using for target practice -- a copy of the Quran, Islam's holy book.

Riddled with bullets, the rounds piercing deep into the thick volume, the pages were shredded. Turning the holy book in his hands, the man found two handwritten English words, scrawled in pen. "F*** yeah."

I think it is interesting to note that the Obama campaign isn't including the switched pledged delegates in their totals. Jack Johnson was the first, and now Jack Evans has done the same.

Since Nevada ended up being a 14-11 split, instead of 13-12, I'm guessing that this means that Hillary had a delegate subtracted from her column?

In an interesting side note, Bill Clinton was in Nevada to represent HRC:

In an attempt to draw supporters, the Clinton campaign sent the New York senator's most popular surrogate to speak on her behalf, former President Clinton.

Faced with a vocal crowd of Obama backers, Bill Clinton all but abandoned typical campaign rhetoric. He mentioned his wife's candidacy only briefly, and instead focused his comments on a call for party unity against the Republicans in November.

"Don't you forget why you came here. You did not go to all this trouble to have an argument with each other," Clinton said. "The argument is necessary so we can pick the best president and the most electable one. Those are the only two things that matter ... After that, we have to get the show on the road, folks. We have a country to change and a future to secure."

I'm hoping it's a dustbin with a 6'4" 350lb predator that likes men who look like the Pillsbury Doughboy.

I've always wondered if slumlord/present's bad attitude is due in part because it thinks that no one ever replies to it on purpose.

I guess Hillary can't stand the heat in the kitchen anymore. Maybe her foul-mouthed supporters aren't whining about CNN loud enough.

Damn, I was starting to feel special about my newly found no job, no girlfriend, no hobby, no life status.
