Three more American soldiers were killed yesterday. It wasn't on the front page of the New York Times or USA Today. Instead they featured President Bush's renewed call for a gay marriage ban. Indeed, USA Today covered the dead soldiers on page four and couldn't be bothered to fact-check exactly how many Americans have died, instead reporting "...more than 875." And nobody wants to talk about how many Iraqis have been killed since we invaded their country. Credible estimates put that number well in excess of 10,000.
But forget about all that, at least we'll have a debate on the urgent issue of gay marriage.
