Headlines of the day

Rewrite the history books: The Olive tree says your dating is off... they are dating the Thera explosion that destroyed many civilizations of the ancient Mediterranean...one of my areas of interest...

Stolen body parts causing disease? LINK
Usually these things are not "stolen" but removed with family's permission...but why weren't they screened for obvious disease? Again, an interest for me since Oklahoma had a rabies case from a Texas transplant...

The Katrina report is out...read the whole thing ((Big Lizard's summary is HERE if you like to play "pin the tail on the donkey" blame games, like the AP did)...
Actually the report is fair, and not a blame game but it actually notes the difference between incompetency, normal chaotic situations where people did their best, and normal "SNAFUs" with praise for what went right...

And the American Lung Assocation has a clean air report:“...Our report shows real improvement in the air quality in much of the nation. ..."
It's Bush's fault...


Air pollution is down in Manila also....Arroyo claims it's down by 15%...no, it's not due to the Clean Air act (as the article points out, most people find it cheaper to bribe than to fix their cars) but probably because the economy is in shambles and the price of gasoline and diesel is going up and up...

Good news: Congressmen arrested in anti war demonstration... Tom Lantos, James McGovern and John Olver of Massachusetts, Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas and Jim Moran of Virginia.
No, not Iraq, but the genocide in Dafur...Lantos is a concentration camp survivor...

WAPO coveres the planned Sunday rally HERE

Dustbury says, if you're traveling to Boston, Don't leave home without one....

Well, did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearned
He may ride forever
'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned


finally: Spreading American culture all over the world: Mongolian HipHop...
