I’m so glad that the new biopic about Christopher Hitchens is coming out in February.
I’m not sure about the casting, though . . .
Business as usual
According to this article, the sex-biz is back to normal in Thailand. I’m not sure which line is funnier:
“Yes, we are just as busy as before the tsunami,” said Toto, a drag queen.
or
[S]ex tourism […] accounts for 5 per cent of Thailand’s gross domestic product.
because with the latter, you can talk about just how gross that domestic product really is.
Is it genocide yet?
Nope, not yet. Just ask the UN.
Oh, wait: my bad! That link was about how Kofi Annan’s son was actually involved in negotiating a deal to sell 2 million barrels of oil in the UN’s oil-for-food scam.
HERE’S the link about how the UN has determined that there’s no genocide occurring in Darfur. I lose track of this stuff sometimes. Sorry.
