This Week with George Stephanopoulos notes the passings of dancer/actress Cyd Charisse, media consultant Tony Schwartz, Holocaust survivor Henryk Mandlebaum as well as 12 troop members in Iraq and Afghanistan.
According to icasualties.org, the total casualty count for the Iraq coalition is 4,415. Per Iraq Body Count, there were 160 confirmed Iraqi civilian deaths during last week, including the 8th time this year that more than 50 people were killed in a single attack (on June 17th). There were 20 such attacks in 2007 and 12 in 2006.

Primus!
the only way the world is ever going to forgive america is when bush is impeached.
Cyd Charisse was drop-dead gorgeous to my ten-year-old eyes viewing "Singing in the Rain" on the T.V. I've always enjoyed watching dancers; I now play the pipes for Scottish Highland Dance. Myself, I got two left feet.

Spinal Tap on that episode of The Simpsons!
Poll: Obama up by 15% over Grandpa McBush! http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-poll25-2008jun25,0,5763707.story
No mention of Carlin? I'm not sure what day of the week Stephanopoulos does this piece but it would seem to me he would have mentioned George.
Biff Limbaugh @ 2:
I think its well beyond that point now. Given Bush's approval ratings around the globe, I think the only the world will forgive America is if Bush is in chains.

I was thinking that, too, but the show is on at 10:30AM Sunday, I think, and Carlin went to the hospital Sunday afternoon, from reports.
I'm sure he will unfortunately--unfortunate that he's gone--be on next week.
So, there should be another reminder next week. No reason not to toast him now and then.
He always had great timing. He deserves to be remembered for as long as possible.
Twelve US Troops is a nine week high on Georgie's show. Our kids are being murdered.

At the end of a rope with darth next to him .
Its a dream , but some day there will be an accounting of who has suppourted these wars and thoses who have not , there will be no middle ground .
Every day the world becomes smaller , every day our lifes come closer , every day we see more truth , every day we do nothing is a strike against all of us .
