Just a quick one, before I leave for work:

At 9 am, it's clear and sunny in Glens Falls, NY. The outside temp is 1 degree F, minus 17 C.

Was reading a few headlines online.

Oh gee, the USA (read: George W. Bush and company) has botched training the Iraqui military...what a suprise...yeah, that's about as much news as the the fact that it snows in Greenland in wintertime.

A sherriff's wife was gunned down in her own driveway, along with a deputy..the man across the street's account: "...it was quite a bit of excitement. There were about 20 police cars and everything!" This is my culture, a man's neighbours wife gets murdered in her own driveway, and the man is all giddy with excitement...and one wonders why I don't want to live in my own country, anymore...yeah, I love modern American culture...I've said it before, I'll say it again...if many Americans were a pond, the fish would suffocate.
