Wow, I didn't know they went up that high - you know it has to be something major when it say Asia instead of a specific country. Has hit off the west coast of Sumatra, with casualties reported in Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka and India - 200 deaths reported so far, with the toll no doubt going to rise further...
On a lighter note, a pissed off father is selling his kids' Xmas presents on eBay because they won't behave myself - yay, one parent against the whole kids have the power in a family conspiracy LOL. If you misbehave I will put your Nintendo systems up for auction - good on him LOL.
Goodness, just watching BBC News online and that Indian Ocean earthquake has been upgraded to 8.9 on the Richter scale. Shit. The Maldives and Bangladesh also affected...
Again on the lighter note, this report from China comparing the current new rich situation there as akin to the United States at the turn of the last century, robber baron territory - like really, why try to build and 'improve' on Fointanbleu Chateau in the middle of China? If you have money in that country it seems you have power...
Why oh why on earth does the White House press office give us press releases on what the First Family have for dinner? As well as the whole inanity of the Xmas present thing for the world's most powerful person - or at least, the most VISIBLE powerful person. And double hex on the news media that report that George and Laura are having turkey and cranberry. If only Laura could give George the military you want rather than what he has, or a peaceful Iraq, or a sensible foreign policy...
Thinking of walking the dog now - will spot you all again soonish, even if I eventually think not to :)
