Fourth Quarter -Time for Rule Change

The LA Times reports, barely, that Iraq's Shiite dominated parliament has voted to change the rules for the vote on the draft constitution set for Oct. 15. Instead of two-thirds of those voting no in three provinces being sufficient to defeat the draft, the new rules requires two thirds of registered voters. The Sunnis, who had been busily registering voters to vote against, understandably smell a rat.
But for the blogosphere, notably leftiblogspot.com,, this story would be lying dead in the bottom paragraphs of lengthy stories. Props to lefti.
