CNN's Romans and McIntyre stated U.S. troop deaths are down this summer,
ignoring that this is the deadliest June-August since the war began

On the August 30 edition of CNN's Lou Dobbs Tonight, guest host
Christine Romans repeatedly claimed that American troop deaths in Iraq
"are down this summer." Romans also reported that "[t]he Pentagon today
is citing the surge in Iraq as a reason for a drop in troop deaths this
summer," by comparing casualty figures in July and August to those in
May and later asked if lower American casualty figures were a measure of
the success of the "surge." However, as Media Matters for America
documented, statistics compiled by the Iraq Coalition Casualty Count on
its website iCasualties.org show that the 260 U.S. troop deaths in Iraq
during June, July, and August 2007 make this the deadliest June through
August of the Iraq war for U.S. troops.

From iCasualties.org:

June-July-August 2003: 113 American troops died

June-July-August 2004: 162 American troops died

June-July-August 2005: 217 American troops died

June-July-August 2006: 169 American troops died

Our hero, Fidel Castro, wants a Clinton/Obama presidency in 2008!

CASTRO: HILLARY WILL WIN
Post Wire Services
FIDEL CASTRO
Sees Veep Obama.

August 29, 2007 -- HAVANA - Hillary Rodham Clinton got a boost yesterday
from an unwanted source - Fidel Castro.

A column purportedly written by the badly ailing Cuban dictator said
that Clinton would likely win the presidency in 2008, with Barack Obama
as her running mate.

"The word today is that an apparently unbeatable ticket could be Hillary
for president and Obama as her running mate," Castro wrote in a piece
about U.S. presidents published by the Communist Party newspaper Granma.

Meanwhile, Castro offered a favorable assessment of only one of the 10
men who have been president during his regime - Jimmy Carter.

Bush Gets Away with Lies, Lies and More Lies in History-Illiterate
America

Larry Beinhart, AlterNet, August 27, 2007

George Bush and other Iraq War supporters have argued that if we
withdraw from Iraq the result will be like the killing fields of
Cambodia -- an odd comparison considering that the US has direct
responsibility for that holocaust.

Here are the facts:

* The killing fields were real. The genocide against their own people
was committed by the Khmer Rouge.
* The Vietnamese -- the Communist Vietnamese -- were the people who
went in and put a stop to it.
* The United States then supported the Khmer Rouge.

Here's how that came to happen.

The United States got involved in the war in Vietnam in an attempt to
keep South Vietnam from going communist. Which it would have if
nationwide elections had been held as promised.

Postage Stamp for W............

George Bush very much wanted a postage stamp issued with his picture
on it. So, he instructs his people, stressing that it should be of
high International quality.

The stamps are created, printed, and released. Bush is very pleased.

But within a few days of release of the stamp, he begins hearing
complaints that the stamp is not sticking, and he becomes infuriated.

He calls the people responsible and orders them to investigate the
matter.

They check the matter out at several post offices, and they report the
problem to Bush.

The report states, "There is nothing wrong with the quality of the
stamp. The problem is people are spitting on the wrong side."

He figures Craig is good at those cavity searches.

Craig..... The official butt cheek spreader.....

In all honesty, he was looking for Iraq's WMD's... And, all he found was
some corn.

The devil decries evil.
Virtue is his guise
To find the hidden villain
Listen for the loudest voice

"Aside from the quickie-divorce Mecca of Nevada, no region of the
United States has a higher divorce rate than the Bible Belt. Nearly
half of all marriages break up, but the divorce rates in these
southern states are roughly 50 percent above the national average.

thumpers!)

Iowa gay marriage applications halted

By DAVID PITT, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 2 minutes ago

DES MOINES, Iowa - Same-sex marriage was legal here for less than 24
hours before the county won a stay of a judge's order on Friday, a
tiny window of opportunity that allowed two men to make history but
left dozens of other couples disappointed after a frantic rush to the
altar.
ADVERTISEMENT

At 2 p.m. Thursday, Judge Robert Hanson ordered Polk County officials
to accept marriage license requests from same-sex couples, but he
granted the stay at about 12:30 p.m. Friday. By then 27 same-sex
couples had filed requests, but only Sean Fritz and Tim McQuillan of
Ames had actually gotten their license.

In the front yard of the Rev. Mark Stringer, pastor of the First
Unitarian Church of Des Moines, they become the only same-sex couple
wed in the U.S. outside of Massachusetts, where some 8,000 such
couples have tied the knot.

Flight of fancy?

Californian company prepares to go back to the future with a new
flying car

In fictional visions of the future they fill the skies, zipping people
around in air-cushioned comfort. But flying cars have been
conspicuously absent from real life.

That could change, though, with the imminent launch of the M200G, a
derivative of the M200X flying saucer-shaped car demonstrated recently
by Moller International of California.

The vehicle is the result of 30 years of work by Paul Moller, an
aeronautical engineer who imagines a future where we will all be
commuting and heading for the shops along aerial highways.

The GOP's crowded closet

The party's culture of concealment has led to embarrassment and
personal destruction.

Isn't it about time for the right to cure its homophobia?

By Joe Conason

"Is everybody gay?"

That was the cry of the lovelorn schoolteacher in the classic 1997
film "In and Out," after her diffident fiancé reveals his true
orientation (and dumps her for Tom Selleck).

Ten years later, more than a few discombobulated Republicans must be
muttering the same question, despite the fervent denial of Sen. Larry
"Wide Stance" Craig that he is, indeed, gay.

As one embarrassing episode follows another, with almost predictable
regularity, perhaps it is time for Republicans and conservatives to
ask themselves an obvious question:

What makes the Republican Party -- and the conservative movement more
generally -- so attractive to closeted homosexual men?
