There are no words: As many as 100,000 more Iraqi civilians have died in the 18 months since the US-led invasion last year than would have been expected in the period before the war, a study claimed today. Researchers said the chances of a violent death were 58 times higher after the invasion than before [...]

Ampersand wants to know, and it seems like a pretty good question to me: The flier doesn’t directly say that Senator Smith endorses the claim that “if Measure 36 fails, gay and lesbian sex will be taught in Oregon schools,” but that’s sure the impression it gives.

This is disturbing: Notice the presidential page. It goes 4, 6, blank, 10, and then 2 – on the ballot, the candidates are in alphabetical order, but on the page, it’s turned around so that Bush is first.
