Since, "A milestone or kilometre sign is one of a series of numbered markers placed along a road at regular intervals, typically at the side of the road or in a median. Milestones are constructed both to reassure the traveller that the proper path is being followed and to indicate distance travelled, or the remaining distance to the desired destination." - Source: Wikipedia

The fact that the media choose to refer to the number of deaths as a "milestone" demonstrates that the number merely serves the purposes of the MsM as the arbitor of when we've reached the end of the road in Iraq.

P.S. Will there be also calls for photos of Kilpatrick to be withheld because he's black?

I am the exotic Queen Mum, and I approved this message.

Ha!

But in all seriousness, we definitely need some "D" and/or "Democrat" action happening. Aren't we all starved for this? There's been a curious drought throughout the MSM, soooo....

Drum roll please:

Democrat Senator Eliot Spitzer, NY, shamefully resigns after being caught paying for prostitution, spending upwards of 80 thousand dollars over a span of many years. He's married with 3 children. Possible use of campaign funds still under investigation.

Democrat Senator David Patterson, NY, now reveals he had extramarital affairs, and even had sex/affairs with women on his staff who were later given new jobs/positions.

Democrat Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, Detroit, and an aide indicted on felony charges, including perjury and obstruction of justice after prosecutors said sexually explicit text messages between the two contradicted their sworn court testimony.

Democrat Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama, Illinois, is revealed to have -- and somehow continues to maintain -- a close relationship with an overt racist, hate-mongering pastor. Proof is in not one 15-30 second soundbite, but many selected video clips from many different sermons. He has been Obama's pastor, spiritual advisor, a major figure -- and his church a primary doner -- of his campaign, was the priest at his wedding and baptised his children. He later defends this Reverend, and also refers to his grandmother as "a typical white person".

Democrat Senator and Presidential candidate Barack Obama, Illinois, and Democrat Senator and Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, NY, both have companies that contributed and/or were advisers to their campaigns, whose employees were caught snooping into passport records of all candidates in the State Department. Still under investigation.

Democrat Mayor Sharpe James, NJ, indicted last year, charged with 25 counts of corruption including charges of using city credit cards for personal expenses, abusing his office by steering discounted city property to a girlfriend who then sold the parcels for large profits.

Democrat Rep. William Jefferson, indicted last year after more than two years of being the target of a federal investigation, on 16-counts includeing charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes, money laundering, obstruction of justice, corruption, and conspiracy.

Delsa,

Your last line is spot on. I've made a similar point, & at least on the Detroit part part. It's a 1 party state, like NYC, LA, NO, ect.
