Jesus saves

Recent tsunami events are tragic and horribly shocking.

but i'm not so interested in hearing stories of how horrible people's lives are now. it doesn't take a genius to figure out things are bad. i'm interested in the red cross (and others) efforts to help. and i'm not getting much info. so i clicked this story Asian Disaster Toll Could Top 100,000 -- Red Cross stupidly assuming i'd get a bit of info that i could easily process, before i started on harder news sources. instead i got this gem. it just seems like good form to not print crap like this and embarass the people you supposedly care about:

"When the waves came and it kept climbing higher and higher I knew God had meant us to die," said islander Augustine. "But my child was there with me and I had to run. Jesus saved us."

apparently they're having family problems in heaven. you see what happens when you upset your dad kids. he goes and kills a bunch of people.

in other news, last night they issued a tornado warning for most of the south bay. i was sure i'd end up in oz, or at least not have to show up to work today, because the roof had blown off... no such luck.
