Last throes

Fourth helicopter in two weeks shot down in Iraq.

Victory! Well, for someone, anyhow. Maybe for Dear Leader's daddy, whose family trust gets some bucks to replace that chopper thanks to their defense industry investments. Certainly not for the two youngsters flying the chopper, who really don't care much about whose victory it is. See, they're dead. D-E-A-D. They don't care about anything anymore. Unlike Dear Leader, who cares deeply, really deeply... about the bottom of his bottle. And unlike their families, who are going to be crying their heads off for a long time to come over the loss of their loved ones. Just like the families of the 800,000 or so Iraqis that we've killed in Iraq, but they don't count, because they're BROWN. Ick. If they were good white Christian Americans, on the other hand, they'd count... well, not really. Just ask those two helicopter pilots. Oh wait, you can't. Because they're DEAD.

Herring. Yumm.
