Sorry no photos today -- for some reason Blogger is fine with videos but doesn't like the photo uploads. Go figure...

Reza Aslan was on Election Center Wednesday night, where he discussed the differences between the presidential candidates when it comes to dealing with Iran:

Later on AC360, Reza explained that Iran is really suffering from a bit of an inferiority complex ... oh, and the fact that American troops are pretty much surrounding the country makes them nervous:

This morning it was announced that former FOX newsman, former Bush Press Secretary, current CNN contributor Tony Show has died at the age of 53, following a long battle with cancer.

The following statement was issued from CNN/U.S. president Jon Klein:

"Tony Snow was a highly respected colleague and a friend to many of us. The intelligence and warmth he brought to every conversation will be missed and the example he set of professionalism combined with humanity will be long remembered. He loved this country and its people and was looking forward to getting out into America to listen to their stories and share them with the rest of us. It is all of our loss that he never got the chance to do so. We regret that he was not a part of our CNN family longer, and our deepest condolences go out to his family."
