Al-Reuters Gets In A Dig...

I often have a glance at James Taranto's Best of the Web, and if I've mentioned this before, then tough.

Seriously, what I dig up so often overlaps what "Best" features that at times it's which twin has the tony, and if you're too young to recall what that means, then tough again.

Of course, if I had a score of folks clicking away as help, lord only knows what Messenger would be like, but time for me to STFU and present something he, they, beat me to:

OpinionJournal - Best of the Web Today
"Under the subheadline MILESTONE LOOMS, Reuters engages in a pointless and ghoulish bit of calculation:

In the nearly 2-1/2 years of the [Iraq] war, the average death toll for U.S. troops has been 2.1 per day. If that pace continues, the U.S. death toll would reach 2,000 in late October. U.S. military deaths still remain far below the total and rate of the Vietnam War, in which 58,000 U.S. troops died.

Also if this pace continues, the Iraq death toll will top Vietnam's in just 73 years, and every American now alive will have been killed in Iraq by the year 389543."

The little kid embarassing the folks at Sunday Services when he blurts out how mommy ran over the cat with her minivan, or daddy likes to look at pretty girls on the computer, syndrome that's prevalent among moonbats of ALL ages. Immature, meaningless, petty, and for it to be something GENUINELY lefty, yes, it should also be ghoulish.
