In The News:

On the weekend there was a pseudo-coup in the Sudan and a Sudoku Competition in Sioux City, Iowa. And after the  cyclone (not a tsunami) reports from Myanmar tell us that the flooding has played havoc with sewage.

Today we read that in Lebanon, hopes are raised that President Siniora will be replaced by the present head of the army, General Suleiman. Meanwhile, outside the World Bank headquarters in Washington, African demonstrators, demanding that the bank make fewer gigantic loans for capitalist corporations and replace them with green-and-grameen micro-loans, carry signs that read “Not Voodoo, But Susu Economics.”

There’s a moral here. It goes without saying. It’s sous-entendu.
