Have a Pink Floyd Easter

On the way to work this morning I heard the coolest Good Friday/Easter story EVA. I don't know if you guys ever listen to the Glen Beck Program but that is where I heard it. Anyway, while he was giving his overly dramatic interpretation(something about letting the pain hurt today) the Great Gig was popping off in the background. More people need to recognize the pure brilliance that is Pink Floyd.

The Collapse of the Surge

The security gains of the surge in Iraq resulted in a large part from the so-called Sunni awakening. This was, in effect, a buying of the loyalty of Sunni tribes (for about $10 a day per fighter) in the fight against Al-Queda in Iraq. But some Sunnis are claiming that they've never been paid for their services, and are threatening to withdraw their support.
