Brandon E. Maggart's wife Teresa was planning to welcome her soldier husband home to Missouri this month with a banner that said "Husband, Father, Hero." Instead, she used the words in an obituary for the Fort Lewis Army sergeant, 24, who, it turns out, officially is the last American service member to die in Iraq combat. "We had so many plans for Brandon's leave," Teresa Maggart said in the obit she wrote, "fishing, golfing, going to [son] Blake's first soccer game, going to the ocean, Seahawks & Mariners game, and of course eating at Outback...just a few of his favorite things to do..."
Unofficially? Our troops are still dying there.
Objects this size may strike the earth about every 30 years, but because the planet is mostly covered by water, past impacts on this scale could have easily passed by unnoticed. A 50 foot space-rock hitting at orbital velocity would deliver about ten times the energy unleashed by the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima -- DarkSyde
Then again, never bet against a Demcorat's ability to do the idiotic in a pathetic attempt to curry conservative favor.

The dude found a blogger's comments and archives. Brilliant detective work, wingnut cartoonist!
Yes, that's right, the NRCC is attacking a Democrat for voting the same way as the chairman of the NRCC.
Adam Penenberg, whose story about Glass was made famous in a book and movie, last week broke the story of a $131 million verdict against Ford Motor Co., stemming from the death of minor league baseball player Brian Cole who died in 2001 when the Ford Explorer he was in flipped over, according to the news site Gather. Noticing that traditional news outlets were completely ignoring the story, Penenberg turned to Twitter to get the news out. He posted more than 50 tweets in two hours, creating a complete story of more than 1,000 words, explained High Position, an Internet marketing site. One of his posts even chastised journalists for their negligence: "C’mon reporters. Am I only one who thinks $131 MILLION verdict against FORD in a product liability suit is news??"
