Classic. A cruise ship sank off the coast of Egypt. In a newspaper article the next morning, the following quote from a teacher waiting for word of his cousin who had been a passenger appeared:
"How can they put all these passengers in such an old ship that was not fit for sailing?" he asked, adding "somebody should be blamed."
Somebody should be blamed. If only we all had such clear-headed responses to tragedy, huh? And thank goodness we have the news media to bring us these gems of insight.
In other news, fringe Muslim groups are upset over some 12 political cartoons that appeared in a Danish newspaper four months ago. Reports of the rage and frustration of these groups pervade the news this morning, but not one source has the cartoons. Gutless.
That's my rant for the morning. For the month.
