More than 80,000 funny-looking brown people may have been killed in this wekeend's tsunami, but at least Petra Nemcova is still alive! What a relief! Isn't she beeyootiful? Oh, thank you, thank you, CNN for setting our pasty white sex-crazed minds at ease. We should start a campaign immediately to forge the pin for her broken pelvis from silver recovered from the World Trade Center!
Sigh. Just when you think American news can't get any worse....

Yeah, well, as they say, you can learn a lot about a person during a crisis. The same goes for news organization. Maybe that's why more and more people are going for Jon Stewart.

Indeed, it seems as if most of the coverage is focused on Europeans in Phuket, Thailand. My guess is news correspondents don't want to go anywhere else. It caused my 93-year-old grandmother to remark, in all seriousness, "Don't they have Asian people in Thailand?"

Sorry to interrupt the flow of conversation, but where did you get the CNN module? I went to their site, but I couldn't find it. It's like a maze over there.
