Too funny! You’re always welcome to bring some of that humor to our website and comment there too! Thx
Sad but true.
The Biden remark evokes that old, imponderable question: “If 706 U.S. servicemen are killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, but the mainstream media doesn’t report it, are they still dead?”
And that would be “conservativeamerican.org”, yes?
I guess when you are an idiot -(Obama) it made sense to pick a MORON -(Biden) to be Vice President. That way by default you don’t look so bad...
Well, now I know why Obama chose Biden as his VP. He’s the only one that could make zero look smart.
Any business has to know its customers.
When the New York Times Company issued its daily prospectus last Sunday, their above-the-fold story was Spc. Brendan Marrocco (Staten Islander who lost his limbs to a roadside bomb in northern Iraq).

The story itself was good. Except it was syndicated 2 days beforehand. Not to mention CBS blogged it in May.
All The News That’s Fit To Print, right.

Of course there is a body count.
It never quit.
It just is not highlighted by most of the press these days since we lose more people to motorcycle accidents than to combat.
That became true in 2008 and now KIA is not even in the top 10 causes of military personnel deaths.
Feathers from the oiled up birds they have fished out of the
Gulf.
Leading up to the 2004 election, about 1/3 of the US deaths were non-hostile/non-combat. The first death was on base in Kuwait if I recall (things like forklift accidents).
The Left trumpeted deaths, not service. They dead soldiers were as much a pawn as Cindy Sheehan was a pawn. She thought the DNC actually "cared" about the deaths. Now they (and she) are just an inconvenience.
