Idiot wind
In all the brouhaha following Matt Damon being named Sexiest Man Alive yesterday, including me calling for an investigation into CNN's online vote, I forgot to mention this little nugget via Foxnews.com
In summary, the "government" released a report indicating that more soldiers died during 1981 and 1982 than during 2005 and 2006. Take that, Ronald Reagan!
Of course, the placement of this story prominently at the top of the main page of Foxnews is to support the longstanding argument that Foxnews doesn't believe in context. Within the article they mentioned the reason for these statistics -- in 2005 there is better health care, better military technology, and of course, lower taxes.
Meanwhile the Bush administration defended their policy on health care by discussing the bubonic plague, civil rights by mentioning slavery, and terrible Presidential leadership by drawing a comparison to earlier this year.
