The King is Dead

So King Fahd of Saudi Arabia finally went off to Allah. No real surprise, except for how long he managed to linger on. The new king is Abdulla Oblongatta, who's been running the country for years anyway, so I don't expect any changes there - the terrorists will still get their money and weapons, along with their training sites at the madrasses. A couple of today's car bombs in Iraq will be dedicated to the late king.

Meanwhile, the mainstream media is having a shit hemorrage over the number of stories these days. It's making it damn near impossible to report it all, since anything over three major events is beyond their ability to deal with. Hell, right now we have:

John Bolton appointed to the UN;
The London bombings;
Natalee Holloway;
The guy missing from the cruise ship;
John Roberts;
The Space Shuttle;
Nukes in Iran & North Korea;
Iraq;
Valerie Plame;
and on, and on.

This leaves them unable to concentrate on one issue and beat the living shit out of it 24 hours a day. Don't you feel just so damn sorry for them?
