November 7.

I'm a registered Democrat and a liberal at heart. And, honestly, when we went into Iraq after 9/11 instead of going after Al Qaeda with all of our resources, it felt like it was a huge mistake from the beginning. The current administration had the entire world behind it on 9/12/2001 and could have done some amazing things with that support. Instead, they screwed it up. It's a screw up and a war that, IMHO, will go down in history as one of the greatest blunders this nation has seen.

If you're a sports fan, you know about Pat Tillman. He was an NFL player with an NFL salary who left it all behind to join the Army with his brother and serve his country in Iraq and Afghanistan and was killed in a friendly fire incident in 2004. ESPN and others have covered his story extensively because, honestly, somebody who leaves behind what he left behind to serve his country is a hero.

Now his brother Kevin chimes in on where we are today. This is a must read. We'll get back to the comedy soon, but I had to share this. It's powerful stuff. And no matter what, please vote on November 7:

After Pat's Birthday.
