Bangladesh Rocked by Bomb Blasts
This is, by far, the most under-reported news story of the day.

These guys want to reinstate Islamic law--or their interpretation of it--in Bangladesh for some reason. Probably all of the Britney Spears T-shirts their women are wearing. Anyway, I'm trying to get them a contact inside the Bush administration so that our two countries can work together towards instituting theocratic rule over our mutual citizens. Now if only they could agree on which brand of religion to use...
