In The News:

  1. "The Obama administration is adopting an increasingly confrontational approach with BP -- accusing company executives of intentionall underestimating the scale of the Gulf oil spill to spare themselves billions in fines." It's always reassuring to hear that your own government thinks the BP execs are full of shit. Also...they can't seriously think that stopping the leak in August is the best they can do, right? [Politico]
  2. The American Medical Association passed a resolution that no doctor or hospital should have to go against their personal morality when treating a patient. Uh... what? Keep your religious and personal moral beliefs out of my scientifically based medical treatment. I don't mix my religious beliefs with my work. Or find a religiously funded and themed hospital to work at .. any of your Saints will do. But it's ridiculous to allow doctors and nurses to refuse services based on personal morality. I think we all know who will suffer the most from this... women of reproductive age. [Change]
  3. Can a non-Muslim be a Maldivian? Mohamad Nazim, born in Maldives has come out as an atheist. According to law a non-Muslim cannot became a citizen. But what about a citizen that becomes a non-Muslim? [Hassan Ziyau]

Listen:



Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels
The dizzing dancing way you feel
As every fairy tale comes real
I've looked at love that way

But now it's just another show
You leave 'em laughing when you go
And if you care, don't let them know
Don't give yourself away

I've looked at love from both sides now
From give and take, and still somehow
It's love's illusions I recall
I really don't know love at all.
