I dunno, I was kinda thinking I might change my name to "Bullshit Consensus."

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I know that "Thousands die in Bangladesh flooding" is the old joke
Um, what's the joke?
I wonder if the white thing comes into play too... I don't think the bali coverage was as exhaustive.
I was in Australia for the first Bali bombing (and god, how awful is it that I have to refer to it that way), and I remember the news was mostly all about the Australians who'd been killed or injured--very little on how it had affected the Indonesians.
I actually haven't seen much on the second Bali bombing either, but I've been kind of hermitty and news-avoidant of late.

My sinuses are protesting the weather changes. Other than a couple of head colds this year, they've been behaving, so I'm extra whiney about it.
Weekends I tend to be pretty news free (only a vague idea of what it happening in the world. As in, still turning) so this morning's paper was one of OMG. Dude. Holycrap.
Nap. Need nap.

Update from home.
Right now he and Emaryn are in her room. He has bullied her into playing "The Itsy Bitsy Spider" for him over and over so he can do the hand motions. She said to me, "Mom, he lowered his eyebrows at me and stared at me, so I had to do it." Yep, she's right.
Yeah, Leif is pretty unmoveable once those eyebrows lower.

I'm sitting at home waiting for the contractors to come and fix my wall. I arranged for them to show at 8, and then they called back and asked if 7:30 would be okay. Now it's 7:50, no contractors.
Hmm. I'm reading the reporting on the earthquake in Pakistan, but I'm not seeing links to donate -- I assume Red Cross is there?

Not really a joke, more a wry commentary that the front page of a newspaper will have "Three Dead in LA Shooting" and the bottom corner of the third page is where "Thousands Die in Bangladesh Flooding" goes.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I assume Red Cross is there?
Red Crescent probably.
