Clare Short is whinging that George Bush is undermining the UN by setting up an aid coalition for the tsunami victims. (Note that the coalition is much of the Anglosphere plus Japan…)

She missed her calling. She should have been in standup comedy:

This is amazing. The Vatican has blamed Israel for not providing disaster support, after they offered it and were turned down by Sri Lanka, who apparently didn’t want any help from the evil Jews. As is often the case, no good deed goes unpunished.

[Update on Friday afternoon]

Catholic World News says that it was a mistranslation and that the Vatican was actually criticizing Sri Lanka for refusing the aid.

Glad to hear it.

…blamed George Bush for the tsunamis yet?

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time. Thousands more lives are on his head.

Any day now.

Diane Feinstein wants to get an amendment to end the electoral college. That way, no one will have to run a national campaign–they’ll just have to do big media buys in the major cities. Fortunately, her fellow Senators will never pass it out of that chamber. This won’t be a partisan issue–it will be a large-state, small-state and urban-state, rural-state issue, and there are more small and rural ones than large and urban ones.
