For the Record

I have been infuriated lately with the fact that so much attention is being paid to the royal wedding and little to none to the ongoing, unfolding situation in Japan. CNN is sending 120 reporters to London (according to NPR radio news), Fox - 50, etc. while there are NO western reporters in Japan and haven't been for weeks. Cowardly, craven bastards!

Go to the Wedding
Go to the wedding
Put on your best dress
The bridegroom is waiting
To honor the guests

Go to the wedding
And cheer with the crowd
Throw rice and take pictures
As much as allowed

Go to the wedding
And merrily feast
Ignore the dire warning
That comes from the East

Go to the wedding
By land and by air
Tomorrow’s the funeral
Today we don’t care.
