Yeah the usual. You know...

Okay, well...it's nearing the hour of 9:00 in the evensong, so I am choosing to be somewhat lazy this week. Instead of discussing a major world issue, I have decided to act upon my latest find. I was looking around the internet, listening to opera music (no, seriously, my brother put it on the computer so I was listening to it. Don't judge me) viewing an article about the nuclear plant in North Korea, which would have made a splendid update to my previous article about Kim Jong Il, when I got bored of reading this mundane work and scrolled to the bottom to find a link that said:
15 Train Robbers Killed By Poison Gas"
That caught my attention for a very embarrassing reason. That being that I saw the word Poison and automatically thought: AH! Bret Micheals and Unskinny Bop!
Anyways.
Apparently 15 mentally retarded robbers in India thought that they were stealing diesel from a freight carriage. Let me reinforce this: Their attempt was to steal oil, okay?
I'm saying this because people have complained lately about me not making things clear. They should join the dead robbers.
Anyways...the robbers broke open the wrong tank and inhaled LOADS of poison gas. Police arrived upon the scene and found the empty drums they intended on loading the oil into. The people were just laying along the tracks, taking a dirt nap. Kind of sad, really, no? No. Kind of funny actually. I laughed. Stupid robbers.
Okay..they are THEIVES. They are attempting to steal oil from a TRAIN. Isn't it only fair to say they had it coming? It's like the gods were watching and thinking...oh so you wanna do it that way, huh? Hey Satan, turn that oil into poison gas. They'll never expect it. OH that was nice. Haha. Look at 'em fall. Wooo that was a good one.
Moral of that little anecdote: They deserved it.
Ooh to add: The train was earlier stopped by armed people who police believe were members of a gang which frequently steals crude oil from trains and pipelines. How lovely. I'm glad this train is making it through it all.
You know, I always considered train robbers to be a thing of the nineteenth century. But I guess people do what they have to do. New information: People still rob from trains. IS THAT CLEAR?!
Okay so I'm a little angry while writing this, my bad.
But I do have to ask one thing. Apparently this train WAS carrying oil. Why on earth was there a tank of poison gas on there? Where was this gas going to go? I'm concerned now.
I'm telling you. Just let me take over. I promise, I will only use poison gas when you criticize my writing style. =]

BLAST YOU, CHINA!
You know the drill. Here's the site.
See it for yourself if you don't trust my analysis.
http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2008/s2367703.htm
Milk powder simply isn't the most interesting thing in the world. Believe me, I know this. BUT you would be surprised at how terrible this crisis is.
In China, CHINA, the milk from top companies is contaminated. Yes, the milk that BABIES are drinking.
Read this quote from the article and see if you see the same key word that I do:
"More than 6000 babies are sick, three have died and 150 have serious kidney failure after drinking milk powder that had been deliberately contaminated with melamine, a toxic substance used in plastics."
Deliberately? Ohhhh Jesus. So the Chinese company...San Lu, I think it was...is supposedly the "name brand" over there. San Lu and 21 other companies are getting this melamine into their milk, then giving it to COUNTLESS babies. That makes me sick, personally. Now parents are gathering outside of hospitals to get their babies checked.
You know what the problem is? They don't check for it. The report said that there wasn't ONE company over there that scanned their milk for melamine. Not one! It also apparently took a lot of pushing for them to even recall the milk. I mean, it was deliberate, apparently, so why would they?
Ohhh China makes me so mad sometimes. Like their 8 year-old "16-year-old gymnists". And of course the poisoning of everything made over there. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, CHINA?! I mean, you have made 6,244 babies sick already, and that number is expected to climb significantly. I don't know what's more depressing--China contaminating the children or the fact that nothing in China can be trusted.
Did I even gain anything from this article? OTHER than disdain, of course...? Decidedly not. I did, however, learn that nothing will ever make me want to be involved with Chinese-oriented subjects.
Why am I so angry over this? I don't know. All the sick babies...yeahh...but that's not it. I think certain things are just getting on my nerves, and China is definitely one of them.
So wanna hear my plan? For those of you who read my last blog, you know that my goal is to take over North Korea after Kim Jong Il gives up the ghost. I've been thinking, you know...with enough power behind me, I might as well conquer Asia. China's been sucking it up lately. North Korea's going a little insane. Those are two pretty major areas. Of course, I would have to conquer LOADS more, but think about it...I would then have control over Russia and the Middle East. NOT TO MENTION India to add to my enemy China, the two most populated nations in the world.
I find myself adequate for world domination. Yep.
For serious.

God save the dictator!
Thank you Assosciated Press, for releasing this article.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5huSr2cto6oXklRH0nXdM8i7PEQ0wD933E3GO0
Well, what do you know? Kim Jong Il, the...erm...unpredictable dictator of North Korea is supposedly quite ill. This is, of course, according to U.S. officials, and not necessarily for certain...but as this week herald's the 60th anniversary of North Korea becoming a nation under the rule of KJI's father, KJI didn't show. Yeah. No show.
He was there for 50 yrs. and 55 yrs. but not 60. =D Apparently, his last reported public appearance was in MID AUGUST. Gooo K.J.!
There is even reason to believe that Mr. Kim has suffered a stroke or some other major setback.
This is far more crucial than life observation with crazy dictators that have issues enunciating their L's. North Korea...Kim Jong Il...anything else come to mind? Ah yes. THE NUCLEAR WEAPON TESTING PROGRAM. Yongbyon...yes. What does this poor health contribute to the program? It HAS been delayed..has been set back...and this lack of preparations prove that the authority once weilded by KJI is not so prominent now that his heart blew out like an old tire.
So what if Kim doesn't make it? Dies. Demises. Expires. Perishes. Drops. Succumbs. Bites the dust. Breathes his last. Deceases. Cashes in. Gives up the ghost. Goes to his grave. Departs. Kicks the bucket. Passes on to the Great Beyond. Turns up his toes.
No worries.
According to the article, "Intelligence officials note that one of several family members or senior military officials might step in if Kim were incapacitated."
That's one I forgot. Incapacitated.
Does anybody care if KJI dies? OF COURSE THEY DO! This man has been a majorrrr figure in today's world. One of the stereotypical brilliant dictators. Jesus, people. I'm almost afraid that some people didn't even know about the nuclear weapon's program. I knew that beforehand, as most people who watch the news oh I don't know...once every 2 decades or so should know. I didn't know that KJI was ill. Oh, heavens. Okay, not that I feel pity or anything. But still...this is like when Fidel Castro was dying. He'd been around for how long? Yeah. And he was PSYCHO CONTROL FREAK. As is Kimmy J. So really...I'm kind of anxiously waiting to see what will happen if KJI dies or becomes so severely ill (haha...ill...haha) that he can no longer watch his nation.
I think I should take over North Korea. Ask and I'll tell you my plan as female-dictator.

It's Haiti. Who seems to care?
Yes. It is about 9:30 (p.m. mind you) and I am barely managing to complete all of my homework before the overdosage of Tylenol settles in and I fall into some type of coma-like sleep, likely to occur in approximately an hour and a half.
So here is my blasted article of the week.
http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5gDm7lRAjdXWzCH-GDsdZvbReCqCAD9308AVG0
Actually I felt some intense pity for the people of Haiti. Hurricane Hanna hit, ohhh, half a week or so ago. DEVASTATION, MY FRIEND! As a general statement, Hanna hovered over Haiti for about 4 days, dumping a load on the poor island. Tons of rain, mud is everywhere, trees are down, houses are flooded, there is no food, water, or shelter, 61 people are dead, and what are the U.N. troops doing?
Well let me relate one story in this article. The trucks, with the food and water and clothing that these people are in DIRE need of, met a bit of a gap in the road. Instead of finding any way to cross the gap or to even manage to get the supplies across the gap to the starving children, the trucks merely turned around. I guess it seemed like a good idea at the time. =/
The audience would have to be those people with some sort of pity for people that have lost everything...and I mean everything, in this hurricane. Any person with sympathy of any kind can feel some sorrow for these people that have lost family, left their children orphans, and suffered a type of Hurricane Katrina..the devastatingly poorer version. This article brings out that human compassion hidden somewhere inside of me. It really got to me when one prolific man stated: "If they don't have food, it can be dangerous." Well, good call, sir. I suppose you're right. I never thought about it that way. It must be some type of trouble to go without FOOD OR WATER! Okay, if they are going to cover this story, shouldn't they at least quote people with some sense of what is going on. I mean, I knew nothing about this beforehand other than the fact that Haiti was in the path of Hanna. I really hadn't watched the news in too long. Oh except for Faux News at my sister's and considering they don't tend to tell us too much about the lives of lesser people (I'm kidding, don't attack) I was left somewhat unaware. But even I could have provided that much input in this article as the wise man who said that without food it could be dangerous. That almost makes me want to hit someone. Journalists these days. We need new ones.
But not focusing on what I was ignorant of, I am more interested in what I learned. Yes, friends, I learned. Learrrnnnneeeddd. One: 250,000 people have been affected. Did you read that? That many. My Jesus that's remarkable. 250,000 people left helpless...or near it.
Also: Okay, I get it. The trucks aren't going to make it. I don't think the air has blocking gaps in the middle though, with rivers running through. So can't we take a nice helicopter over the rifts and at least give them something?! Also intriguing: The local Roman Catholic Church has turned into some sort of a de facto refugee camp.
It makes me rather sad, really. People are just hangin' out on the pews all day. Some are just...standing around. A few women had some little Haitian babies in there. And what do they have? No way of getting supplies.
My question for pondering...
What on EARTH is keeping them from trying every possible tactic to get these people fed and taken care of? Orphans? ORPHANS?! I mean...come on. Help the little ones out.
Ah. It ticks me off.
So, that's my passionate rant on world-happenings. Adios, poppets.
So here is my blasted article of the week.
