Some interesting numbers

No Oil for Pacifists has some interesting numbers to consider.

First on the state of the US economy. (It may be interesting to see what Krugman has to say about these, but then again he is one of those economists that has long since risen above the need for facts and numbers to prove their opinions.)

And then, just how do the numbers of Coalition servicemen and women add up to say, the number of murders in the state of California. While by no means an true comparison, it does help put the numbers into a little perspective.
