I went back and forth on how to discuss the Norway incident. But in the end I found I couldn't create an editorial type story that went beyond just saying what has already been said. It was indeed a terrible tragedy and I send my personal sympathies out to all the victims and their families. Perhaps if there is a new development this week we'll get to cover it here. Thanks for mentioning it!

Oops. That should read: ("mostly in Europe and America")

On a totally unrelated story (but even more tragic IMO)…..DJ, this story AND the Norway shootings were the 2 biggest stories to happen this past weekend. Given ALL the lives lost and shattered (mostly children) as a result of that massacre, I'm really surprised that you didn't do a post on that horrific story too!?!

DJ:"She became a European and international superstar, with the multi-platinum hit song depicting her refusal to go to rehab for her alcohol and drug addiction problems."Hmmm. Think about that for just a minute because it certainly was my 2nd thought upon first hearing the news of her death. A song MOCKING and REJECTING treatment she do desperately needed is the song that shot her instant musical media stardom thanks to the MILLIONS of people (mostly in Europe and Europe) who made that song a "hit" and a music industry with the soul of bottomless pit that exploited her addictions via her talent!?!Yes indeed. She was rewarded handsomely/snark.Well..(pause).."it is what it is" as they say. She had too many illnesses AND too many inner-demons to fight (mental illnesss, drug additions and other related medical problems). Sadly, my first thought was: She finally got what she spent so much of her tormented and tortured life seeking. Death.
