#1 Someone pointed out around the time of the election that statistically, we lose about 47 people per day on the highways of America.
Soon this will all fade in the background as Mikey Jackson will consume the attention of the news media sharkfest. Mikey, All Day, All Night. OMG.

#2 By the way, three of the soldiers were killed in an attack on a medevac chopper. I'm sure we'll hear more about this from Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International.

#4 There were 42,643 traffic fatalities in the U.S. in 2003, or about 117 per day. Our highways are a quagmire, and I blame Bush.

#5 Ahhhh.....but the highways are IMPROVING! At the time of the Viet Nam war, our highways killed around 55,000 people every YEAR - roughly the same number of US tropps that died in Viet Nam during the whole quagmire. And, as you may have noticed, we drive a lot more now.

The number of deaths an the roads peaks at about twice the average on the Fourth of July. I suppose having so many cars on the road does give one a sense of independence..... (irony intended).
