As the title suggests, there has been a cyclone in Burma, as the title also suggests I know that you've heard about it already but I really don't care. In any case, you probably heard it from the pack of jackals and carrion birds that comprise the media so why not hear it from my completely unbiased mind *insert ironic chuckles here*.

The United Nations (arrogant little halfwits that *most* of them are) have given an estimate of about 1 500 000 (1.5 Million) having been severely affected by the cyclone, named Nargis by the UN or whoever names them but nicknamed euphemistically "Sir break everything" by me. Official death count is approximately 100 000, and Burma has asked for outside aid only recently, 1 week after the even took place! So what has the government been doing for the last week?

On the subject on international aid, a senior World Vision manager, Tim Costello, had this to say this his usual, politically correct, choice of words
"Some is getting through," he said. "But it's a trickle when it needs to be a flood."
I'm not saying that Tim is insensitive to Burma's crisis but you'd think he could be a bit more careful with his wording.

Well, there is more to the story but I am both lazy and hungry as I haven't had breakfast yet and it's about lunch time.
