More prison abuse reports under an administration that continues to abuse the Geneva Conventions.

Presidential Spokesperson, Tony Snow, called the 2500 American soldiers who have been killed in Iraq, "a number."

Ann Coulter.

But the Democrats' scored their biggest advantage this week when most of them did not get behind a Republican resolution to support the Bush policy that has resulted in the deaths of 2500 American soldiers as well as the over 100,000 Iraqis who never asked for the policy in the first place.

Add to that the fact that neither Murtha or Kerry actually advocates either "cutting" or "running,"...

And a bunch of other stuff you won't be hearing on any mainstream broadcasts in the next few days, although all the stuff is absolutely T R U E.
