1. Have they stopped reporting Iraq casualties this week?

I was passively listening to the CBS news tonight and heard nothing. I also listened to a good chunk of All Things Considered.

2. I thought the same thing when I was listening to MSNBC

...But they were hot on the trail of the missing model.

9. I heard nothing of this while listening to 5 hours of CNN today.

However, they showed the entirety of George's little speech today.

Little chickenhawk George is running scared from Cindy Sheehan. He's already given three talks on the importance of "staying the course" in as many days.

Will that miserable, sniveling excuse for a human be giving a speech every day? God, but I hope Cindy follows that shitbag back to DC and camps outside the White House.

I'm sick of all the killing for profit, I'm sick of all the Americans who are still too afraid, too lazy, or too hate-filled to open up their eyes to what they are really supporting in Bush, and I'm sick at heart that the press makes it so very hard to find the truth.
