Mind you, the headline that went with that is "Stormy times - when extreme weather conditions come with one-sided economical interests and political failure"

Stormy times, indeed, nimh. (Yeah, I'd figured out that that's why the world was so wounded.)
How much more bad news can we take, I wonder? Sad
It obviously gets to poor old Leunig & makes him quite depressed. So I'm pleased that scruffy little bird was able to cheer him up, a little..... Smile

Picking up on Dag's lead a few pages back:

Ethiopian tells of migrant ordeal

http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/40772000/jpg/_40772850_strip203.jpg

Quote:
An Ethiopian woman has gone public with her harrowing story about being trafficked to work in Bahrain, hoping this will serve as a warning to others. [..]

Alem's story has been turned into a picture story by the International Organization of Migration in order to end the silence which has surrounded the plight of trafficked Ethiopians.

Yitna Getachew, the head of IOM's counter-trafficking programme in Ethiopia, says the booklet is being distributed for free in the department of immigration, when people go to pick up their passports

That's a really effective way of passing on the warning to other Ethiopian women potentially at risk, nimh. I just wish my eyesight was better & I could read the small print on the photographs.

Well, I didn't know how else to express my exasperation with Bush & his government's response to the misery & despair in New Orleans, Gus. Also I'm tired after a hard week Gus. Perhaps it should have been Evil or Very Mad or Confused ?
