Does anyone speak Nubian?

OK, so what if the Sudanese are killing each other? They ain't got no oil so we ain't goin' over there to help. And these are Arabs, too. I would have thought at least one of those variables would bring the subject to the front page, but I guess not. Besides, there's no need to start another war we cannot finish - me thinks Vietnam, Bosnia, Afghanistan, Iraq, are just a nifty, relatively recent few. Yes, I realize we've finished plenty of wars, Grenada... um, Grenada and...

Well, I know there were others.

Democrats have long been accused of being the party that loves to get involved in other country's business (in the name of preserving or enforcing Democracy), but people!!!! Come on! CONSISTANCY should be an operative term when we talk foreign policy.

However, when we talk domestic policy, there's plenty of consistancy in the media. I mean, when someone goes missing or winds up dead, as long as they are white, female, upper-middle class folks from Utah or Califonia, BAM! - Headliners. Me thinks Polly Class, Elizabeth Smart, Laci Peterson, Lori Hacking. Now, there's also Kobe. He isn't white, or female, or upper-middle class, but I bet the girl he had sex with is.

Maybe I'm jsut generalizing. But can anyone name a black, male, upper class man from Alabama that was killed recently? No? That's because there is no such thing as an upper-class black man from Alabama. It's a trick question, but you still get my point.
