It's Monday: So I'm too tired to come up with a theme for this post this early.
A soldier in Iraq has been made a sheik by Iraqis. A far less lucky soldier who lost a limb is profiled in the WP as an example of wounded soldiers returning back home.

A NC Congressman claims he meant to vote against CAFTA, but that his vote didn't register. I'm not sure if this is an e-voting issue or an incompetence issue, but it is interesting that evoting caused a problem on such a close vote on the floor.

And the NYT Style section has an article about vacationers lording their highend vacations over others with bumperstickers.

And who would have thought I would commiserate with a Murdoch. Rupert Murdoch's son quit his dad's media mogul empire, apparently because his dad was not pleased with his long family vacations. "Although Rupert Murdoch rarely if ever takes a vacation, Lachlan Murdoch took 10 weeks off last year to go mountain climbing and sail his yacht, one News Corp. source said. During that time, he drew a salary of $1.8 million and a bonus of $2.34 million. Since the birth of his son, Kalan, in November, Lachlan Murdoch has spent weeks at a time in Australia, where he and his wife, former model Sarah O'Hare, have their primary residence, another company insider said."
