"Admitting a number like that would be the equivalent of admitting they had endorsed, say, a tsunami, or an earthquake with a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale, or the occupation of a developing country by a ruthless superpower… oh wait- that one actually happened."
that's a quote taken from probably my favorite blog. she doesn't update every day, but when she does, it means something. and really, it had been long enough since the last update that i worried about her health, considering the situation in iraq.
this quote really spins things another way:
"Let's pretend the 600,000+ number is all wrong and that the minimum is the correct number: nearly 400,000. Is that better? Prior to the war, the Bush administration kept claiming that Saddam killed 300,000 Iraqis over 24 years."
on a completely unrelated note, rush limbaugh said that michael j. fox was acting, playing up his parkinsons in a commercial. when he was informed later by callers that he was wrong, at least he had the sense to apologize.

Maybe M.J. Fox should accuse Rush of playing up his hearing loss induced by massive consumption of Oxycontin
Also I'm surprised that the Bush camp hasn't release the death rates. I would think this would help him in his zeal to amend all the agreement of the Geneva Convention. This high dealth toll would give them good reason to use the A-Bomb agian
But then Rush pivoted to attacking him for exploiting his condition for political purposes.
Related to your Iraq discussion, I just finished a long article in the latest Vanity Fair about the Haditha massacre. I highly recommend it to anyone curious about the state of affairs in Iraq. From now on, my standard response to anyone who says we should stay in Iraq is going to be to offer them that article. The war is over and we lost.
Rush is such a moron. I read one doctor's response who claimed that the meds are what cause the swaying in the first place, so going off the meds would actually reduce that movement.
And even if Rush has pivoted to attacking him for exploiting his disease for political purposes, isn't Rush politicizing it even more by jumping into it?
