SAN FRANCISCO - A woman who led an effort to help those ravaged by violence in Iraq fell victim to the war herself when a car bomb killed her and two other people, officials said Sunday.

Marla Ruzicka, founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, died Saturday in the blast, which also killed an Iraqi and another foreigner, officials said. She had been in Iraq conducting door-to-door surveys trying to determine the number of civilian casualties in the country.

Ruzicka, 28, of Lakeport, founded CIVIC in 2003 and was instrumental in securing millions of dollars in aid money from the federal government for distribution in Iraq.

Makes sense to me. I think I'll change my poster name to Certified Conservative. I took the test!

"Even if you despise her and believe her, however irrationally, to be some hideous traitor, at least have the Christian decency not to defile the recently passed."

I think the REAL tragedy in her passing was that we didn't get to see her in a "Barbarella" suit first.

We could start awarding degrees, like "Bachelor of Conservatism", "Master Conservative", (Rush already has the "Doctor of Democracy"). I think I'll be a "Conservative Cum Loudly".

(I think I just made a quadruple entendre!)

Yes.
Legal Conserv does need some ozone.

You liked his acting too?
Too bad he didn't do the 'Alas poor Yorick' line, that would've been hilarious.

Some fake conservatives really miss their shot at stardom.

I know, but at least his posts don't resemble a monkey banging two rocks together and hooting as most troll posts do.

Good point, but I think he hasn't been back because he had to give the shift key to another troll... my theory is that they only have one.

Needs to practice a few more liberal talking points to make a go of it!

Apparently not. It's a shame. I was planning a nice Viking Kitty picture for him.
