There’s a great song that goes something like this: "Venus—have you seen us? I can hardly see ya." The only place I’ve heard it is on KEXP (90.3)—a prized local station; I’ll try to find a link for any unfortunate souls who have never had the pleasure of hearing this song. It’s an interesting question: what if Venus could "see" us?

But meanwhile, that song always makes me wonder; what is life? Who has eyes? Chief Seattle, when talking to white man said, "I do not know. Our ways are different than your ways."

Sometimes when I look around, especially lately, I often feel that way too. Of course, the feeling passes when I realize I’m only using my eyes, but that’s another story.

Speaking of eyes, here’s some rather unusual footage:

That’s what The New York Times is reporting today. The upcoming Kandahar offensive "has become the make-or-break offensive of the eight-and-half-year [Afghanistan] war" and is "the pivotal test of President Obama’s Afghanistan strategy." Elite forces are engaged and gearing up for the Kandahar offensive.

Of course, civilians are still dying, and yet success in Kandahar depends on "hearts and minds."

Yesterday U.S. troops in Kandahar opened fire on a civilian bus, killing at least five, wounding at least eighteen, with the death toll expected to rise.

The bus driver and a passenger told the New York Times a US convoy opened fire just as the bus began pulling over to the side of the road to allow another military convoy to pass. The bus was said to be full of civilian passengers when US troops opened fire. All of the windows on one side of the bus were shot out. Some of the wounded were left in critical condition, and the death toll could rise.

Several British news outlets are reporting that the Obama administration has told the British government that he will be sending 40,000+ American troops to Afghanistan. According to the British sources, we can expect to hear from the President in a week or so:

President Barack Obama's administration is understood to have told the British government that it could announce, as early as next week, the substantial increase to its 65,000 troops already serving there.

Please, forgive me, but I’m going to blow off some steam and use my "article of the day" to expose some regionally biased news.

And, yes, it’s Seattle, so get ready for a little peppering of depression too. But hey, it’s not raining; no, it’s snowing buckets instead.

So I open up the Seattle P-I this morning, only to read, you guessed it, a fine piece of national news, cogently presented by a local reporter. Well, tears could follow, but then I’d be a sap.

As many of you might know, Hearst has decided to dump the Seattle P.I., after being in business since 1893, the P-I that is. As you might also know, Hearst is now dumping (if no buyer is found) the San Francisco Chronicle.

You want to know what's wrong with the Democratic Party? Read and analyze my poll with 20/20 hindsight. Can we are can we not UNITE?

Mr. Greenwald has written an excellent article, as usual; this time it's about new revelations from the Speaker of the House regarding Senator Leahy's "Truth and Reconciliation Commission".

As most of us know, the Senate is currently considering how to set up a "Truth Commission" to probe issues such as wiretapping, torture and the firings of US attorneys. There are some excellent diaries here at Daily Kos discussing what this commission should look like or whether one should exist at all, prosecution being favored by many here.

Senator Leahy has proposed a "Truth and Reconciliation Commission", started by a petition: http://www.bushtruthcommission.com/ which now has 33,869 American signatures to back it up.

Senator Leahy also posted a diary about the subject here at Daily Kos: http://www.dailykos.com/...
