Looking Down On DHS

A photo I shot about a year ago, when I was less intimately familiar wtih the way Desert Hot Springs nestles up against the Little San Bernardinos.

...we listen: Buy a T-reamer! Penetrate holes.

I Was Just Wondering...

And I mean that literally. I'm looking for an answer that I'm sure some reader can point to.

We got these traditional world powers that seem to be one-upping each on aid donations for tsunami victims. I'm not complaining, 'kay?

And here we got people all abuzz, chattering away about it.

And I want to know if somebody can point me to something saying how much Saudi Arabia is contributing...or maybe the total for all the Moslem nations that weren't directly hit by the tsunami.

But then (I pause to think) does maybe the Koran have stronger guidelines about being modest about your charitable giving, so maybe they don't publicize those numbers. A conundrum.

The Desert Sun did an article about Paul Krassner when he got nominated for a Grammy, but the article was so dull I didn't link to it. But now, here comes the L.A. Times with a really well-written article about him. An "anti-war patriot," he calls himself.
