Round Number Reached; Media Inserts Tired Phrase

They really do seem to relish this stuff. Don't they have a clue how hamfisted this sounds?

Meanwhile, four U.S. soldiers died Sunday night in a roadside bombing in Iraq, military officials reported, bringing the American toll in the 5-year-old war to 4,000 deaths.

...The grim milestone comes less than a week after the fifth anniversary of the start of the war.

We should start playing "Media Buzzword Bingo" like they do in that brilliant IBM ad.

"They really do seem to relish this stuff."

Oh, they do all right. Especially since they've have very little bad news to exploit recently.
