To clarify: the title is excerpted from Act 1 of Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. The full quote goes: "Light, seeking light, doth light of light beguile; So ere you find where light in darkness lies, Your light grows dark by losing of your eyes." It's a warning against spending too much of your life in scholarly pursuits.

Kurdish Warrior Women
Gateway Pundit has the scoop here. Peshmurga women are scary tough. Guess they have to be, considering that their country is divided and surrounded by enemies. But there is a seriously important point behind the story. The occasion of the demonstration was the turnover by the allied forces in three more provinces to Iraqi control. This rattles the Turks, Iranians, and others in the region but is a major step toward bringing the current conflict to a successful conclusion.
Hmmmm, there seems to be an awful lot of good news coming out of Iraq these days, now that the elections are over and the Democrats control Congress -- guess there's not as much need to tell the big lie over and over again.
