3. I'm glad you post this each day, Erika.

It's important for all of us to be reminded about the real cost of this travesty in Iraq. I visit this site every day myself, and take a little time to read about the people behind the numbers. It is painful, but the least I can do to honor them and their families and friends. I made a pin that I can change the numbers on, and I wear it each day. People often comment on it, and ask what the numbers mean. The most frequent response I get is, "I didn't realize there were so many." That's sad. Most people don't even know.
Anyway....thanks for doing this each day.

4. Bush is trying to triple that number.

And he's not that good at math anyway.

5. "Our", that's funny

Just like they're our jobs, its our country, they steal our time. We're all just expendable consumers for the corporate state.

7. It's all for a "Noble Cause"

So Rove can have a "War pResident!"

8. Its time we do something

Do not go gentle into that good fight,
Old lies should burn and die at close of day;
Rage, rage against the lying of the right.

Though wise men at their end know left is right,
Because their words had killed no good men they
Do not go gentle into that good fight.
Good men, though few stand by, crying in fright

These false deeds might have led our people astray,
Rage, rage against the lying of the right.
Wild men who conspired and took away our sight,
now learn, too late, they of justice did delay,

Do not go gentle into that good fight.
Hypocrite men, near power, who claim god-given light
true eyes of vision see forthcoming decay,
Rage, rage against the lying of the right.

And you, my leaders, there on a lonely sad height,
Curse, be gone now with your fierce lies, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good fight.
Rage, rage against the lying of the right.
