[shockingelk]

Is it just me, or does it look like most of the deaths of US personnel come from counties that went Kerry in 2004?

5. The Iron Range/Arrowhead region are sparse, yet very blue...

...Big chunk of blue in N.E. Minn.

2. My wife has noticed the same thing....

She pointed it out to me a few months ago. She has some statistics some where. I'll ask her if she has any significant data and post it in this thread tomorrow if she does.

4. And the saga continues...

Mark Sheilds made the point on the Lehrer show that the bases to be closed are mostly in the blue states. The blue states are the ones most at risk for attack and the ones given the least per capita of the homeland security money. They are beyond shameless. They are downright demonic.

6. add basemandering to prisonmandering...

Not sure what the fatality issue could be called. Casualtymandering? Fragmandering?

7. could someone break this story to a major news operation?

UK reporters are probably most willing to take it up.
