Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

On 2,000 Honorable Deaths

Over at Mind in the Qatar, Major Chaz has a great post entitled The Big 2K: The Coming Media Myth.

It is a great look at the reality of the casualties in the Iraq War.

Here is an excerpt:

The MSM is starting to gear up (and the anti-war left has been ready for a while) to present us with the story of "the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq".

Unfortunately, this story is bogus for a few different reasons. Please keep in mind I am military, and none of that which follows is to make light of any of the deaths not matter what column they fall into, but rather to point out that those that make hay about this milestone, and actually celebrating it to further their own cause.
Liberals really seem gleeful about these deaths, and quickly use them for their political games.

Each and every one of those deaths has been in the service of the United States of America and, more importantly, freedom. We should not allow their sacrifices to be co-opted by the anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-military Left.
