...leaped from less than 5% of the total bound for the U.S. to more than 15%--amounting to almost six tons a month. When U.S. forces entered Haiti six years ago, they helped create a new civilian police force and coast guard. But the fledgling, threadbare agencies are a laugh to the cartels. U.S. officials, citing Haitian inspector general reports on officer misconduct, estimate that 85% of police supervisors--including four in Cap-Haitien who were recently caught with their own bulging satchels of dope cash--are in the pockets of traffickers. The Haitian coast guard has made...
...that is why today my eyes are red. My heart is heavy. I will play John Lennon music today. I will watch the video of Lennon insouciantly chewing gum as he sang "All You Need Is Love" live to 400 million people by satellite in June 1967.

Every time I watch a rerun episode "I get" a joke I had missed the last time, and "The Simpsons" earns a fresh laugh. Not until I had taken a few months of physics did I get Homer's joke: "Lisa built me this perpetual motion machine--it just keeps getting faster and faster...LISA! In this house we obey the laws of thermodynamics...
...want a laugh, my angst-ridden American friend? In Canada, the leader of the right-wing Canadian Alliance Party, STOCKWELL DAY, proposed an easier way to decide whether to hold a referendum: if just 3% of voters sign a petition. In response, a TV show circulated an Internet petition to get the government to demand that Day change his first name to Doris. After three days it received more signatures than required--although it may have helped that anyone could sign a number of times...
