Waking Up

I woke today to the sound of talk radio djs discussing scientists claim that the avian flu is only, at the most, six months away from striking America. Then, I read the newspaper whose top story's headline read this, "Harm and Pain", referring to a quote from Iran's representative to the US at an International Atomic Energy Agency conference. The full quote went something like this, "The United States has the power to cause harm and pain. But the United States is also susceptible to harm and pain. So, if that is the path the US wishes to choose, let the ball roll."

Um, yeah.

One of those days where you just want to pull the covers over your head and sleep until it's all over or slap government leaders* and/or bird flu or scream at the top of your lungs, get gills and swim to the deeps of the ocean and live with fish.
