How do you know for sure? Did you collect an oath of responsibility before the poll and disclaim your personal efforts afterward?

Nice images, but I turned the volume down ;)

Why should we hear about body bags, and deaths...I mean, it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that? ~Barbara Bush on ABC's "Good Morning America," March 18, 2003.

Over four thousand activists with torches forming a peace symbol on Heroes’ Square in central Budapest yesterday during a rally to demand the end of the US occupation of Iraq on the third anniversary of the US invasion.

I noticed that the evening news used the word "hundreds" to describe the size of the protest crowds. Also they neglected to mention how many cities held protests across the globe.

The reported #s are always disputed, but there is a clear effort to downplay these protests.
