I Wonder

How long before some vegetable-stand dictator comes out and claims George W. Bush was responsible for the 6.3 earthquake in Iran.

This apparently killed 10,000 people. Ten-Thousand people. WTF? What do you people do in the Middle East; build your housing out of saliva and your fecal remains? How many people died during the 6.5 magnitude quake in California the other day? Less than 10,000 I think.

*Update*- Seeing the video of the aftermath, the people around the area look like they’ve been coached their entire lives. I know it’s tragic when 10,000 people die, but my cynicism of Middle East culture makes me not even believe some of the reactions. There’s a scruffy looking man wailing away with his hands, almost mashing his head. I just don’t believe it. It looks contrived to me. It’s reminiscient of the Palestinians reactions to car bombs, wherein they seem to take glee in picking out the body parts out of the car or wherever they find them. My empathy with you people is next to nothing.

**New Update**- I also wish for a plague upon cute fuzzy bunnies, hope that all little ponies keel over & die and yes, I also hope for all the widdle pussy-cats to be skinned alive and we use their fur to make the cutest fur coats.
