Sunday Morning Prayers

The New York Times is full of joy today:

• Africa’s World of Forced Labor, in a 6-Year-Old’s Eyes
  
• Islam, Terror and the Second Nuclear Age

And then there's the breaking news: Strong Typhoon Rips Northern Philippines (11 minutes ago), Gunmen Fire on Sunni Pilgrims in Iraq (24 minutes ago), Jet With 104 Aboard Crashes in Nigeria (33 minutes ago).

Nothing like a reality check with your morning coffee. At least, for once, the Sunday paper seems to be relatively devoid of the snobbish pandering to their local wealthy demographic, which drives me nuts (aka the Style and Real Estate sections).
