Also there were 8 marines killed in combat this week, their deaths are getting no publicity, there are no lines of mourners, no songs being sung for them, they were doing something noble, a thankless job in a godforsaken hellhole and yet people agonize over a rich drug addict.

While millions pray for Whitney Houston, I will pray for our dead soldiers.
