"Early indications were that the plane’s engines had shut down after having ingested a flock of birds" - Makes Me Wish I Still Lived in My Old Apartment - and if that's not ultimate proof of the voyeuristic nature of people (or at least of myself), I'm not sure what is. ;)

"The president who came to office vowing to be a 'uniter not a divider' alluded to the deep partisan divisions that marked his eight years in office." - Bush says Farewell.

Nationalizing Banks? - when a less-than-majority-stake bailout just isn't enough...
