It's not news. cnn didn't put Palin's hand on their front page, either. You are confusing what you see written by bloggers and columnists with what you see on cnn's news page. Dummkopf.

Dummkopf,

If Plain's crib notes are news so is Obama's numerous gaffes that are routinely shoved under the carpet. The latest is receiving mail from a dead woman. I bet you didn't hear that now, did you?

Bowls of youtube.

What is your purpose here, Dakota? Do you actually think you are scoring points for your side?

Talking to me, Dummkopf?

Once the internet makes a big deal out of something, the media usually falls in line and reports it because the internet has made a big deal out of it. That's why you see piano playing cats and jubjub videos and Paris Hilton on "the news". I'm forced to guess that the "corpse man" video hasn't gotten viral enough for cnn to bother with.

Anyone seen the Four Corpse Men of Apocalypse?

For those short on attentiion (i.e. Fox News fans)=

And for some soldiers, there is the gold star. It remains on the same white field and the flag has the same outline, but a gold star represents a family member killed in action — the most significant sacrifice one can make on behalf of their country.

This brings me back to my issue with Palin. The name on her black memorial bracelet — one, like the gold star, a demonstration of a friend or associate who was killed in action — is that of her oldest son, Track. Track served honorably in Iraq, and both he and his parents should be thanked for his selfless service to his country. He is also alive.

Commemorating Track’s service by wearing a a black memorial bracelet which is reserved for those dead or even a red bracelet for those missing in action, demonstrates a horrifying contempt for those who gave their last full measure of devotion or an almost unbelievable ignorance of the importance of symbols in American history.

As much as I dislike Palin, the author of that piece has a disclaimer at the bottom explaining that Palin's bracelet is, in fact, a "dark brown 'DeployedHero' bracelet worn by those who have loved ones currently serving in the military". He spoke a bit too soon it seems.

The we have a perfect case of turnabout.

"Deployed Hero"?

WTF is that?

This "Hero" nonsense is out of control. Being in the military does not a hero make. Setting the bar so low is an insult to those who have actually performed heroic feats.

My experience is that the hero rhetoric becomes stronger in a person in inverse proportion to their connection to the military. An actual soldier in a combat role is the least likely to think of himself as a hero, while some pro-war cheerleader who would never go within ten miles of a MEPS throws out the term with reckless abandon.

And if you say this to one of these cheerleaders, they respond with a sharp gasp and then accuse you of "Not Supporting The Troops!"

"You don't have a yellow magnet on your car! Why do you hate the military?"
