There's so much bad news today, I don't even know where to begin.

OK. Now I know. The coup in Sao Tome left me intellectually bewildered and emotionally shattered, as I'm sure it did you. Even now, the minions of Major Fernando Pereira are working hard to contact Richard Dreyfuss. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I hope he's available to step in, pose as de Menezes, and quell the Sao Tomian public's outcry.

Then there's the 100 Indians killed in a flash flood. To think, a sudden downpour during monsoon season in a flood-ravaged province swept away a tent city. Who could have predicted that? Those who know me know how loathe I am to indict countries or entire cultures based on limited or no personal experience, so they'll know how difficult I find it to say the following: This is just another pebble on the mountain of evidence that India is the worst place on Earth. And I thought last week's Amazing Race sealed the deal.

And now I see that some ne'er-drive-well has barreled into Santa Monica's farmer's market, hitting about 40 people. People in LA drive everywhere.

Some good news, though -- the Chinese are staying poor! Hee-haw!
