Polish president killed in plane crash.
This is nuts. I know nothing at all about Polish government, but holy crap.

I understand it's not just their president, but also the head of the national bank, and a bunch of their top military brass, too. The kind of huge disaster that will have the conspiracy theorists going nuts on for years.

Oh yeah, it's a shitload of governmental people. This shit is not supposed to happen. Someone right now is making sure that Air Force One is in super tip-top condition.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
The news was super depressing this morning.
Not only the Polish crash, but the Yemeni child bride death and Timothy White (kidnap victim as a child) dying of pulmonary embolism at age 35. (He was the other kid rescued by Steven Stayner. The story is best known from the TV movie "I Know My Name Is Steven.")

The Polish tragedy is especially painful as they were on their way to a ceremony commemorating the Katyn massacre, a Stalinist summary execution of 20,000 Polish prisoners of war (most of their top military, but also intellectuals, doctors, lawyers, etc.).
And our car has just decided to, apparently, die. (Michael is describing it as a catastrophic motor failure.) This on a day when we are removing moldy drywall from the ceiling of our bathroom, following the plumbing bursting incident of LAST weekend.
I suspect our car has been secretly talking to Hec and JZs car.

I knew it was a mistake to start making talking cars.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ah, shit, flea, I'm sorry. Buffista cars need to cease all communications immediately.
Terrible news about Poland. And I can't imagine how the former head of their lower house of Parliament is coping with it -- a few hours ago he was a moderately important person with his plate full of intra-house domestic battles and politicking, and suddenly not only is the entire country reeling in the wake of a hideous tragedy but he's in charge of all of it.
