of lists or loss
Three heartbreaking songs:
“Names”, Catpower, Free
“Straight to Hell”, Clash, Combat Rock
“Upward Over the Mountain”, Iron & Wine, The Creek Drank the Cradle
If I haven't been to visit your blog in a while (and I haven't), I have barely been to my own.

With thousands of British and French soldiers surrounded by victorious & advancing Nazi legions in Dunkirk in 1940, a broke and near-collapsing English government and nation was able to quickly mobilize damn near every boat on the South coast of England - yachts, tugs, destoyers, fishing boats - and evacuate the entire contingent: "In total 338,226 troops were evacuated (220,000 British, 120,000 French, some Belgian and Dutch, and even some German prisoners of war) aboard around more than 900 vessels." This operation, from scratch, over 8 days, with the German Army bearing down and the Luftwafte raining bombs and machine gun fire.
But we live in a different empire. All prayers to the people of the Gulf Coast. If you have money to spare - the American Red Cross is springing into action.

how great is this post. it is certanly in our power to save these people (sadly, maybe, was), but it was not top priority. Disgusted yes. Just repeating what others have said, but if that water came up to the knees of those in beverly hills, every carnival cruise ship would be there with prime rib and fresh sheets.
