I should've been posting more often..
and of course there have been happenings:
1) CHC had yet another major quake;
2) Japan had a much much worse one (Richter 9) & a massive tsunami to boot;
3) the Japanese tsunami was 10 metres (yes that's right!!) high..
.. & destroyed a nuclear power installation @ Fukushima..
.. so badly the Japanese are now rethinking the whole nuclear option!
4) the inquiry into the Pike River coal mine disaster (29 dead!) is under way..
.. & the evidence presented so far is absolutely damning!
5) Rupert Murdoch's print empire is wobbling after the 'Phonegate' scandal..
.. @ least that's what i'd call the phone-hacking affair which..
.. just gets worse & worse, with casualty after casualty!
6) A Far-Right Anti-Islamic Nut-Case butchered 78 people in Norway..
.. with a 6-tonne fertiliser bomb in Oslo & a spray of gunfire on Utoya Island.
.. i'm NOT even going to name him, let alone give any links!
.. well, i could give him an acronym - the FRAINC..
.. but i don't want him to be (in)famous..
7) as of writing, the US government is 3/4 days away from defaulting..
.. a US$14trillion debt is going to fall unless the Republican wingnuts yield..
.. to reality! At least, that's how i see it..
so far, so grim..
