...floodwaters rose in New Orleans last week, a group called Columbia Christians for Life announced that it had discerned God's purpose in the storm: the destruction of the five abortion clinics in the city. The proof was a radar photograph showing that the hurricane "looks like a fetus facing to the left (west) in the womb, in the early weeks of gestation." A photo of a 6-week fetus was helpfully provided for comparison. At the other end of the political spectrum, environmental activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was blaming the hurricane on ... Haley Barbour, the Governor of Mississippi...
...extremely hard to find, even at $80 a bottle. Send your carefully worded pleas to ventas@achaval-ferrer.com. FRANCO-CHINESE EXOTICS China is a newcomer to the wine world, and while much of its produce has yet to make par, there are three wonderfully unusual varietals that show promise - French Wild, Rose Honey and Crystal Dry. Old records show that missionaries originally brought these vines to China's Yunnan province from France some 200 years ago (an origin confirmed by dna testing) - and it's believed that they may be extinct in the home country itself. So far, Chinese winemakers have obtained...
...This time, Bush has been just as flatfooted. He couldn't seem to break off his schedule in San Diego, where he was commemorating the 60th anniversary of the Allied victory over Japan, while New Orleans filled like a bathtub.

Sending five million military MRE meals sounded impressive until you realized there may be a million American refugees at this point. Does that mean we're only handing out five meals per person? And his interview...
...prices will have on the global economy's two great growth engines, China and the U.S. To a remarkable extent, the two economies have so far seemed bulletproof, absorbing the price hikes and steaming ahead. China grew at a shade under 9% last year and its oil consumption rose more than 15%. But due in part to its outmoded factories and lack of insulation in most buildings, China is a highly inefficient user of energy: to produce a dollar of GDP it burns two and a half times the energy that the U.S. uses, and nine times what Japan consumes...
...warns Roger King, chief executive of Britain's Road Haulage Association, which is lobbying the government for a fuel-tax break for truckers. European motorists and airline passengers are also feeling the effect. Moreover, at least some economies are showing signs of incipient inflation. Consumer prices in the U.S. rose 0.5% in July, the biggest rise in three months, and the annual rate of inflation in Britain rose to 2.3% in July, from 2% in June...
