I've spent a good chunk of the day reading about Katrina. Food and water have run out, the dead bodies floating in the streets are a disease threat, and the city is being evacuated, probably for two or three months. In Iraq, hundreds people were killed in a stampede during a Muslim pilgrimage. Oh, and in the Phillipines, Gloria Arroyo has not only lost it, but has now gotten away with losing it.

Grr. Tomorrow I'm going to give blood and money to the Red Cross. But today, I am not going to post about this. Read the Scalia post instead. I'm going to go see The Constant Gardener, which is directed by the director of City of God and from a novel by the author of The Tailor of Panama, two very excellent movies.

God, how depressing. It is strange to imagine anyone, but especially 700 people, dying in a stampede

Inspired by my cousin I am listing 3 textbooks on ebay and the sales of those books minus shipping will be donated to the Red Cross. (Stoopid Logic book will finally do somebody some good.)

what galls me is the gas going from $2.43 on tuesday to $3.01 on wednesday. I know these stations did not just get a new tank, they are selling what they all ready had a greater profit becasue of the crisis. can you say; A$$HOLES!
and now Bush can justify even more staying in iraq so we can protect the oil fields there (yea, right).
