Here a comma, there a comma

Today more photos from the Iraqi prison abuse scandal appeared in the Washington Post. They published some of the testimonies of the prisoners who have recounted what went on in Abu Ghraib prison during the past year or so. And then there was more fighting in Iraq. Chalabi's house was raided. Chalabi, an Iraqi in exile, living in Georgetown till a few months ago, was America's choice as the successor of Saddam Hussein. But things haven't quite worked out as any of the parties involved planned or wished for! So much happening in Iraq.

So little apparent motion in Karnataka's political situation. Its been a week since the results of the assembly elections were announced. A 'hung' assembly was the voter's 'man-date'! In other words, a 3-way tie. Looks like the political bigwigs will take more time to figure out who gets the Chair. The 12th standard kids (like my brother) are eager to see the next government in place. There's the technical university admission mess to resolve after all! Like what else is new about that?!

Politics aside, today's George Will column is sure to spark a smile. I must confess, I still can't figure out the proper way to use commas!
