Something wicked this way comes

This poor globe is disturbed right now, and it's starting to freak me out a bit. Let's recap some of the major news in the past week:

1. Cyclone in Myanmar - possibly 100,000 people dead. And they're just now, a week later, accepting aid. Never has American freedom seemed so sweet.
2. Tornadoes in the Midwest - we're on par for the 5th deadliest tornado season since they started keeping track.
3. Massive 7.9 earthquake in China - 10,000 feared dead.
4. Food shortages.
5. Record oil prices.
6. New fighting in Gaza.
7. Rain, rain, rain. Do the locusts come next?

What have we done to piss off this planet? Oh, wait.... SUVs, material excess, fossil fuel consumption...

On a positive note, the Red Wings are kicking some serious ass in the Playoffs this year. LET'S GO WINGS!
