For your consideration
Just some things I've found that are worth noting or passing along.
A BBC News piece titled "Feeding the survivors during Ramadan" probes into Muslim culture and how in some ways it is no different from Western culture.
There is nothing in an article about pending famine in Malawi that mentions aid from the United States. Nor is there anything about comments from African-American leaders. Does Africa matter?
And to think I almost drove to Washington, D.C. today for a little field trip. Good thing I didn't because it looks like a million or so crowded the Mall to hear Louis Farrahkan.
Maybe I'm stupid, but it seems to be rather hard to find video from this month's Chinese spaceflight. News coverage is good, but no video. Not even on the evening news.
The paper version of TV Guide has gotten bigger. It doesn't look bad, really.
The new trailer for the next Harry Potter movie is brilliant. Or banging. Or great. Pick your vernacular. I saw it at the theater today before screening The Greatest Game Ever Played. It was a rather good film and a clear sign that Disney didn't have a fluke when they made Miracle. The studio has a way with sports movies.
And finally, I'm rather tickled with this picture. An 18" long collie-Staffordshire Bull Terrier swallowed a 15" long serrated-edge knife (some stories say the knife is 13"). There are miracles every day and some of them even make sense. Can't say this one does, but I'm very glad the dog is doing well. An article at ABC News is pretty good.
Related and also amusing - it looks like ESPN thinks that this was sports news. Guess it was a slow day.
