This *is* a weird recording. Cool idea, though. I want! I want! (Sheesh, who woulda thunk I was so susceptible to advertising?)

Iraqi children are nearly twice as likely to suffer from malnutrition now as before the war.

But I'm sure they're glad since they're living under a new set of restrictions in "freedom".

Articles from Buzzflash...

US University enrollment rates declining.
This is news? Detainees criticize tribunals. Well, duh!
Virginity pledges not as effective as actual sex ed. Again, I say duh.
Missouri is cutting Medicaid.
And lines increase at faith-based soup kitchens.

Good ol' Griff, he's just a barrel of laughs. Pity laughs aren't fuel, like oil is.

No doubt you've seen this already...

Aha! I am now "Sister Spikey Mace of Looking at All Sides of the Question"!

A cheery discussion which isn't that interesting, but which Jenn might like.

Or anybody else who went to LaGuardia, I suppose.

So, I've recently been watching the entire last season of Lost.

Getting into it a bit. Good show, though I still prefer BSG (can you tell there are no new books at the Borders nearby?)

One thing I'm not getting. Why, exactly, did the camp split in two? I mean, I understand the argument, but it's a stupid argument. Obviously, you are less likely to die of heat stroke or thirst near the caves. And while I certainly understand the need to keep the bonfires going, really, how many people does it take to watch a fire? Three? Six, maybe? They could take it in one-week shifts, each shift carrying enough water for the whole week. I mean, if the rescue ship comes (not likely, because then this would be a *very* short-lived show), what are they going to do, take just the people on the beach and strand the rest? And the arguments people were making assuming there had to be a split - did they honestly believe that the beach-people would really just run off without even saying "No, wait, we have to get the other half of the passengers"?
