Out sick…

As is the entire family – so not doing much but playing Sid Meier’s Pirates and watching Cartoon Network.
Quick thoughts:

Was I the only one whose first thought was, upon hearing about the tsunami, “Betcha we (USA) will be blamed for it,”?

The UN’s comments immediately after the disaster about the US being stingy was tactless. Of course, Turtle Bay is currently mired in so many scandals (Oil-for-Food, Sex Slaves for Peacekeepers, etc) that the lack of tact is the least of the UN’s problems. How long are we going to put up with that joke of an organization before we pull out of it and work bilaterally with the rest of the world?

Wonder how the Pirate-King is doing in CO…
