And, that's ok, Hitchens says, because the boy felt he was doing some good.

Having volunteered for Iraq, Mark Daily was killed in January by an I.E.D. Dismayed to learn that his pro-war articles helped persuade Daily to enlist, the author measures his words against a family's grief and a young man's sacrifice....

Pretty much everything.

Everything that went wrong, everything, is the Iraqis' fault.

Inspired by the thought that "People of most faith traditions are called to love one another and to be responsible stewards of God's creation. ... Global warming is not a political issue; it is a moral issue.", a local church group has blitzed our community with multiple showings of Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth.  They presented it on several school days right after school at a church just down the block from the middle school, and on several nights as well.  They made An Inconvenient Truth convenient to get to at least.

YouTube, Warner Music Group sign on the dotted line.  Internet video phenom YouTube Inc. has scored a landmark deal to distribute music videos from the vaults of Warner Music Group Corp. (WMG).

She pushed for an Oklahoma a law making it a misdemeanor to use a soldier's name or likeness without consent. The law goes into effect this November. U.S. Rep. Dan Boren, D-Okla., introduced a similar bill in Congress two weeks ago...

For a while it seemed that the battle was to make sure that t-shirts not supportive of the Bush administration and/or the war in Iraq were not on public display. But now that the hypocrisy of the fight to remove t-shirts from the backs of their wearers has been exposed, the battle to control what t-shirts say and which are produced begins.

It's more like lying to the press.

Since BushCo do it all the time, it's not against the law, right?

Because by definition, nothing the President does or authorizes is against the law.

Alito is about giving Bush permission to illegally wiretap.

Alito is about giving Bush permission to torture people who are still presumed to be innocent (they haven't even been indicted, let alone convicted).

Alito is about preventing investigation of executive privilege abused.

I understand that the filibuster is not a tool to be used trivially. Alito is not a trivial threat. Senators should stand up for our Senate, stand up for the Constitution, and stand up for us. They must filibuster Samuel Alito's nomination to the United States Supreme Court.

The Wall Street Journal cites another one:

"We realize that our views on this subject won't carry the day, at least not until the U.S. suffers a more serious attack."

So whatdya think it will be?  O'Reilly has already endorsed the fire bombing of San Francisco.  That's another city that's way full of people who vote the wrong way.

And, that's how it's being reported pretty much everywhere.  "President Bush offered encouragement to war-weary Iraqis on Monday but acknowledged they have paid a heavy price 30,000 dead as a result of the U.S.-led invasion and its bloody aftermath."  

So, where did he get this number from?  Are there estimates from other sources that are more -- reality-based?
