Note: At the beginning of the war casualties were listed as of the "coalition." That included other countries and those in the Iraqi army that were with us. Now they only count Americans the obviously die in the line of duty. Things like a car wreck while running from enemy fire does not count as a "death."

Mission Accomplished!
The American State Department released its yearly Country Reports on Terrorism. The National Counterterrorism Center reported more than fourteen thousand attacks around the world last year.
The number was about the same as the year before. But deaths increased almost nine percent, to more than twenty-two thousand last year.
The report said well over fifty percent of those killed or injured were Muslims, and most were victims of attacks in Iraq.
In Iraq, the number of attacks fell but the number of people killed, injured or kidnapped increased. In Afghanistan, both numbers were higher.

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwww" Story of the Day:
Sometimes something good can come from those frustrating waits for a Muni bus. Just ask Christina Wu and Chris Little.
They got to know each other four years ago waiting for and riding the 31AX-Balboa express bus to their jobs in downtown San Francisco. Today, they will be getting married in a Muni-themed ceremony.
The ring-bearer will present the wedding bands to the bride and groom on a miniature toy bus instead of a traditional satin pillow, and the tables at the reception will be numbered based on Municipal Railway bus lines. Invitations to the ceremony asked guests to get on board, and told of the couple being committed to the last stop. A laminated route map - a wedding gift from Muni - will be on display for decoration.
The happy twosome won't, however, be taking public transit to the nuptials. "We don't want to arrive late," Wu said, laughing.

This really is a seriously good chili recipe that you can modify to fit your tastes. Add beans if you like (I do for Mrs DWD, and with very few hot peppers - If I make it for me, I use lots of very hot peppers and no beans.)
My (famous?) Chili
1.5 lbs ground beef
1 large sweet onion
green peppers and (if desired) hot peppers - up to you here as to quantity and heat
salt, pepper, Franks Hot Sauce, white pepper, French's Chili-O mix
quart of tomatoes, sixteen ounces of tomato juice
cook beef, peppers, and onion. Add spices and tomatoes. Cook until desired "doneness" and "thickness"

Via CNN.com:
The vast majority of Americans think things are going badly in the country, according to a new poll.
art.foreclosure.jpg
New poll results show that voters think the Democratic candidates have a better handle on economic issues.
Seven in 10 people questioned in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday say things are going badly, with only 30 percent saying things are going well.
"It's been 16 years since the public gave the country's condition such a bad rating: January 1992, to be precise, in the last year in office of the last president named Bush," CNN pollster Keating Holland said.
"Seventy percent is a lot worse than two years ago, when 48 percent thought times were bad and the Republicans lost control of Congress," CNN Senior Political Analyst Bill Schneider added.
The poll indicates that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Sen. John McCain fares poorly against either Democratic candidate when it comes to most domestic and economic issues but has a big advantage on terrorism and a narrow edge on Iraq...

From the Los Angeles Times:
Suze Rotolo's revealing look at young Bob Dylan
The book by the singer-songwriter's former girlfriend, 'A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties,' ends years of silence.
By Josh Getlin
Los Angeles Times Staff Writer
May 2, 2008
NEW YORK -- It was one of the most iconic record album covers ever released, and Suze Rotolo was part of it: On a snowy day in 1963, she snuggled with Bob Dylan as the two walked down a Greenwich Village street. "The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan" went on to become one of his best-known records, but the long-haired girl on his arm was always a mystery.
Now, Rotolo has broken years of silence to tell the story of what it was like to fall in love with Bob Dylan at 17, to introduce him to civil rights politics and modern poetry, and to finally break up with him when the pressures of his stardom became too great. Her new book, "A Freewheelin' Time: A Memoir of Greenwich Village in the Sixties," offers a revealing glimpse of the young artist, whom she calls with understatement "an elephant in the room of my life."
You can read the rest
http://www.latimes.com/entertain...35.story\">here
Met Rotolo at a dinner party in the early 80s. We were told under no circumstances were we to mention Bob or ask questions about the part of her life.
I thought she was cool, for what it's worth....

mmc9431
I do not believe that people are tired of the war coverage - there isn't any. I believe that the media cannot (or will not sacrifice its reporters and resources) to cover the war so it is not being covered.
The other day I followed a link from I Casualties to a Mt Airy, NC newspaper. I read the story in the newspaper about one of their young National Guardsman being killed by an IED in Iraq. The story was heartbreaking. The kid was just a kid - nice boy. Volunteered at the children's home. Played little league baseball. All of the little pithy things that make us Americans.
And while the "National Media" is not covering the war, the Mt Airy Newspaper is, as is the Muskegon Chronicle and the Grand Haven Tribune and the rest. They cannot hide the dead from the people who loved them.
That is why seven out of ten people think that this country is going in the wrong direction. The media loves this world, everyone else thinks they are full of shit.

It's sad to read these polls that show McCain doing as well as he is.
A few weeks of polls publicizing the answers to the question: "Do you agree with John McCain's statement that Americans won't mind staying in Iraq for a hundred years?" would fix that.

One thing that is astounding about the war deaths is that Bush has learned to cry on command at those faux memorials. They are the perfect examples of a sociopath showing up at his victims' funerals to pleasure himself, tearing up with the family's grief. And the MSM, like little lobotomized over-paid puppy dogs that they are, go along with it.

FWIW, The last time I made "chili", it went something like this:
5 lbs tri-tip, 5 lbs. onions, 3 heads garlic, 5 dried ancho chiles, 2 died New Mexico chiles, 1 dried chipotle chile, 10 fresh Anaheim/poblano chiles, 3 lbs. fresh tomatoes, peanut oil for frying, coriander, cinnamon, cumin, marjoram, salt, pepper, chicken stock, water.
Cut up beef into ~1-1.5" cubes. Fry in peanut oil until browned thoroughly on all sides, set aside meat and pour off all but ~5 TBSP oil. Mince onions finely in food processor and sautee gently in oil from meat until starting to caramelize, ~25 minutes. Deglaze pan with chicken stock and water. Set aside. Stem and seed all all dry chiles, then toast them on a hot dry cast-iron skillet, pushing them down with a spatula until thoroughly blistered. Throw them in the pot with the onions, stock, and meat. Start cooking at a low simmer. While this is going, roast all of the fresh chiles and tomatoes on the grill, until kins are blackened but not charred. Seal them all together in a big tuppy for about 20 minutes to soften through and sweat off skins. Then peel skins, chop coarsely, and throw into the pot, about 30 minutes after meat has started cooking. Roast garlic separately until tender, peel/squeeze out cloves, and set aside. After ~45 minutes total cooking, fish dried chilis out of pot and put them thru a food mill with the garlic to puree and remove skins/seeds. Add the chile pulp back to the pot unti desired strength/thickness is reached. At ~ 1 hr. cooking time, check meat for the first time. Different cuts requore different cooking lengths. Continue simmering until meat is almost fork-tender, then add salt and spices ~10 minutes before the end. Serve with rice, beans, hominy, tortillas.

Speaking of limitations on questions, I saw Rove pulled out the old I will only talk to the committee, with no transcripts, and not under oath, when congress threatened to subpoena him in the case of the democratic politician that he had arrested tried and convicted to get him out of the way. (his name escapes me now, if you couldn't tell)

I should also hastento add that I do not purport t be any kind of authority on what "chili" means in the specific parlance of New Mexico. But I did eat something very much like what I described for the first time when I first visited that state, and it was a culinary epiphany for me.

from the guam wikipedia entry:
A few Japanese soldiers held out in the jungle. On December 8, 1945, three U.S. Marines were ambushed and killed. On January 24, 1972, Sergeant Shoichi Yokoi was discovered by hunters. He had lived alone in a cave for 27 years.
On January 24, 2020, Doug Feith was discovered living in a tunnel underneath the vice president's residence. He was busy cutting up a leg bone of Donald Rumsfeld and explaining how it would work its way into his chili recipe.
