Headlines below the fold

Yes, the Philippines had an earthquake, but it was far from here...so we're fine.

Push against AbuSayyaf is serious...even the MILF are getting out of the way. The mainline protestant churches are upset, of course, saying don't harm people just to try to arrest murderous bandits. However, as usual they have no comment on the 14 civilians hurt by a bomb in Zamboanga...
---------------------------

India/America's Bobby Jindal gets smeared as a bigot ...but the trouble is that the quote was taken out of context: he was quoting Calvin (not Klein, the reformer of Geneva)...and this is in a state where a previous campaign for senator was summarized by the line "vote for the crook, not the bigot".
----------------------------------
Bullwinkle alert:
Stop global warming, kill a moose.

A grown moose will burp and pass so much methane gas in the course of a year that it amounts to 2,100 kilos of carbon dioxide emissions.

----------------------------------

Another German woman was kidnapped last week in Afghanistan last week...with the Korean fisaco, I figured they were after money. Then I read she was "freed"...turns out that the Afghan police, with a little help from Norse special forces found and rescued her...


----------------------------------

Popular Mechanics has a new page debunking each claim by the 911 conspiracy theorists one by one.
Of course, it won't work. Delusions are so much fun. And if you can blame Bush, you don't have to worry about IED's going off in Grand Central Station like they are in Zamboanga...
