Cam looks at the time ahead for the US and wants a drink

[misscam]

So basically...

- The US Supreme Court needs two seats a-filling (US Chief Justice Rehnquist died) and there'll be huge debates about the choices and not choices and probably some very not-happy people at the end of it.

- Hurricane Katrina has done some horrific damage and people'll look for someone to blame and others to defend and there'll probably be some very not-happy people at the end of it.

- Racial issues have been raised by Katrina, due to New Orleans large African American population which means they were hit hard. People will probably argue about race being a reason for slow respone till the cow come home and there'll probably be some very not-happy people along the whole ride.

- The Iraq war is still ongoing and things are looking grim. Supporters and protesters of the war will probably continue to be very not-happy about each other.

All this adds up to "Oh, bollocks."

My offer of a couch in Norway stands, for those who desire it.

Meanwhile, China evacuates over 700,000 from the path of a typhoon

*looks over the news, and sits there for a second... then goes and retrieves his whiskey and a shot glass* Here's to the survivors of one nasty nature-based blitzkrieg... *downs the shot*

... *looks at his half-pint of whiskey* ... ... I'm gonna need more booze... *pours another shot*.
