Two western journalists killed in Syria

Marie Colvin



Two Western journalists, including Marie Colvin of the Sunday Times,  have been killed in an attack in the Syrian city of Homs. The second was named as French photojournalist Remi Ochlik, who was also killed in an attack which is said to have targeted an opposition safehouse. Just last week Marie attended the funeral of some of the people killed recently by the Syrian government. She was a very dedicated journalist who lost the sight in one eye while reporting in Sri Lanka in 2001.
This is such sad news. When will the killings stop? When there is no one left to govern? Power really does intoxicate. May the souls of the departed rest in peace.

There is a manhole in front of you lady! Well it is in a town in the US. We do love a good laugh you know. Some of the laws that are passed in a lot of countries are so funny, but some are just plain balmy. Though this makes a lot of sense but its still just funny. It is now an offence to walk while you are texting (or sexting as the case may be) in Fort Lee, New Jersey, for about a month now and already the local police department has issued 117 tickets at $85 per offence after 20 accidents were caused by distracted pedestrians texting and strolling across the road. So if you are ever in Fort Lee, New Jersey and caught walking on the sidewalk and texting (this includes tweeting, BBM and any other form of textings), you will be charged with 'Reckless walking' and a fine of $85. Happy texting!
