This Week's "Tribute to Bush and Cheney".
Ruthless People @ 1:
...the Iraq war deaths, not the others..
I'd say we mark the passing of the truth and the actual integrity of the news services in this country as well. From the lineups on Meet the Press etc to our nightly MSM, Truth and honest investigative reporting has taken a back seat to toeing the party or corporate line. Sickening. Sad. And evident as a cause in our populations and country's fall down into an occupation with no reason and rampant corruption going unexposed.
Are we at a level of dead Marines and Solders that we could name them?
Just before the start of the war the space shuttle came apart on re-entry over Texas. Rightfully they (MSM) put the names of the dead astronauts on the fount page and called them hero's. I wondered at the time if they would do the same for the soon to be dead American troops being sent on a fools mission.
They (MSM) don't. I know there are a lot of them (dead solders and Marines). But aren't they hero's too?
Best slip up, wonder how many remember, Rangel on This Week in trying to say Food Stamps, started to say Green Stamps. Social programs have been so in the back burner that even the Old guys are forgetting the names.
rip bobby fischer

People dropping all around us as we wander through this maze called life until our time comes.
Strange Stuff
Judah Folkman should have won the Nobel Prize in Medicine. He was that brilliant and his theory was that brilliant and his research was that brilliant, and he was a really nice guy.
And the wonderful character actor, of Andy Griffith, Brady Bunch, Archie Bunker fame...Allan Melvin.
the Bush junta get their vampiric energy from creating a trail of corpses

And fear, as in Monsters Incorporated animated feature, where screams of children are generated and captured, to power their monster world.
I saw 40 Pounds of Trouble when it first came out in 1962. At 9 I fell madly in love with Suzanne Pleshette's face at first glimpse. I can't think of any famous beauty that I would rather see on a daily basis than her. What a week of losses. RIP Suzanne.
Richard Knerr may be remembered, ironically enough, as someone who has potentially saved soldiers' lives in Iraq. My Brit Soldier told me that he and his mates have asked friends and family to send them cans of Silly String - it's an invaluable tool being used to find nearly invisible IED tripwires in darkened doorways. A child's laugh and a soldier's life; not a bad legacy to leave behind. RIP Mr. Knerr
Rest in Peace, Suzanne. I'll always have many fond memories of her.
Suzanne Pleshette had possibly the sexiest voice ever heard on network television. Deep, rich and silky. Maybe not silky. Cashmere? Any friend of mine named Bob gets called Bob the way she said it. "BAH ahhb". The Bob Newhart Show was so fine, and it was part of the mid-seventies Saturday night line-up which included the Carol Burnett Show (and DAMN some other fine show--Mary Tyler Moore?) which then led into Saturday Night Live in its glory days. Every Saturday night was an event night because we knew we were in for a treat.
The repubs said Iraq is secure. But there's a soldier being killed every week? WTF O_0
