Attack on the Dining Hall in Mosul By Cori Dauber First, want to read the real story of what happened today? You won't get it from any of the national outlets. You need to go to a regional paper, the same one given copyright for the stills everyone is using: the Richmond Times Dispatch. timesdispatch.com What do I keep arguing? That embedding produces quality reporting, and the only outlets interested in embed slots are the regionals who view it as part of their responsibilities to the communities they serve to cover local units when those units deploy. Well it just so happened that the 276th Engineer Batallion of the Virginia National Guard is Richmond based, and they were eating in that particular chow hall. And so despite the fact that every outlet was reporting that Mosul was the next big story of the war, the Richmond Times Dispatch got this story, while the Times, the Post, the networks, the cable outlets, are all left buying the stills and trying to interview this reporter by cell phone.

Gregoire does not support throwing out the entire election. "This idea of a do-over ... that's just ludicrous," Gregoire said of suggestions that another election be held to determine who the state's governor will be. Watch her do a 190 if Rossi wins again. --------------------------------------------------------- Renton police hold two men in custody for trespassing. Residents adjacent the King County Disposal site called police when they saw lights flashing last night inside the dump which closes at 5 PM. The men were apprehended while trying to start a 1983 Ford F-150 truck with expired registration. There were 5 used tires in the back and 25 garbage-stained ballots in a shoe box on the seat. When questioned, they said a well-dressed man had offered them $25 for very ballot they could find. Police confiscated the ballots to forward to the election committee, and the men will be released after paying a fine for trespassing and providing proper registration of the vehicle. Sig
