Curt Motley, the agent, told The Oklahoman in an e-mail that the 46-year-old Keith was playing his song ‘Weed With Willie’ for troops during a USO Tour stop at a base in Kandahar, Afghanistan, on Thursday when mortar fire sent the singer and most of the about 2,500 soldiers in the crowd scrambling for shelter."

Don't know if this was reported elsewhere on Kos, but according to Guampdn.com, Obama may be getting an SD that has been reported to be counted in HRC's column.
"But candidate Sen. Barack Obama could be getting one of the island's other superdelegate votes, even though the national media has reported that vote also going to Clinton.
Guam Democratic Party Chairman Tony Charfauros yesterday said he is about to appoint either Sen. Benjamin Cruz or attorney Mike Phillips to a vacant superdelegate position -- the party's "committee man" position. Cruz and Philips are both Obama supporters.
Charfauros said his appointment of Cruz or Philips -- which must happen "soon" -- would also have to be approved by Guam's central executive committee and then by the Democratic National Committee.
Although Sen. David Shimizu -- a Clinton supporter -- is running unopposed for the Guam committee man position during the party's ongoing village elections, Charfauros said Shimizu's term as committee man would not begin until after the national convention. Former Guam Del. Robert Underwood, who now is University of Guam president, resigned the committee man position, creating the vacancy."

I rarely write diaries, and even more rarely post comments asking others to read them. But in this diary, which I admit isn't anything special, I ask what I think is an important question about McCain and health insurance.
The gist of it is that McCain probably wouldn't be able to get private insurance. Nothing original about that.
But there's more. Apparently his campaign staff thinks that since he's insured with his current "job," he wouldn't have a problem getting private insurance.
I want this to be investigated. If, as I suspect, McCain would be totally unable to get insurance, this could be a good talking point.
If anybody could clarify the facts, please comment, either here or on my diary.
