Sit back with a cup of hot cocoa and enjoy Michelle Malkin’s rendition of Brainster’s Night Before Fitzmas.Big Mo writes in with his version:Here’s my version, with apologies to Nat King Cole:Karl Rove roasting on an open fireFitzgerald Frost nipping at his noseMoonbat carols being sung by a choirAnd folks dressed up in tin-foil hats.Everybody knows a subpoenaand some indictmentsHelp to make the season brightTiny Kossacks with their eyes all aglowWill find it hard to sleep tonight.They know that Daily Kos is on his wayHe’s loaded lots of toysand goodies on his sleighAnd every mother’s child is gonna spyTo see if those pigsreally know how to fly.And so I’m offering this simple phraseTo kids from one to ninety-twoIt’s been saidmany times, many ways,Merry Fitzmass, to you.

In the last week, Iraqi newspapers carried headlines showing Aljazeerah, the Palestinians & Hammas mourning the death of Zarqawi the martyr…Iraqis are not at all amused!Palestinians demonstrate in Khan Younis, southern Gaza Strip late Thursday, June 8, 2006 to protest a US air raid in which Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the al-Qaida-linked militant who led a bloody campaign of suicide bombings, kidnappings and hostage beheadings in Iraq, was killed.

Despite the headlines yesterday, violent crime in the US remains below levels in the 70’s 80’s and 90’s and below that of Europe, Canada and Australia.From the FBI uniform crime reports.The Washington Post reports:Violent Crime Rises In U.S.Violent crime in 2005 increased at the highest rate in 15 years, driven in large part by a surge of killings and other attacks in many Midwestern cities, the FBI reported yesterday.The FBI’s preliminary annual crime report showed an overall jump of 2.5 percent for violent offenses, including increases in homicide, robbery and assault.

There were 20 times as many murders in the US in 2005 as there were US soldiers lost in the War in Iraq!Drudge Report reported that there were 16,912 murders in the US last year.That is 20 TIMES as many people as soldiers lost in Iraq last year!These may sound like outlandish numbers but in reality:* The War in Iraq is the best fought war in US history in regards to fatality and casualty numbers.* The amount of violent crime committed last year was lower than in the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s in the US.And, in Iraq anyway, if the trend continues, the US will be looking at much lower war fatlities this year (703) compared to last year (846).
