5/7

1. Two Americans who chipped off a piece of the Roman Coliseum 25 years ago have now returned the piece with an apology. And apparently they weren’t the only ones. Look at this picture. Almost half of it is gone! They even took the floor! That happened during a party at my house once too.

2. The prime minister of Pakistan has ordered his military to “eliminate militants and terrorists”. So, you mean that wasn’t their job before? You’re kind of late to the game, aren’t you? Next you’ll be urging the military to “use guns”.

3. In Europe, Muslims were found to identify with their home country even more than the general population. For example, 77% of British Muslims identified with Britain, but for the rest of the population, it was only 50%. Now, I’m not sure what this says about Muslims, but it does say something about the rest of the British population. The British government needs to show that it cares about British people, or else the British are going to take over and turn Britain into a British country.

4. The U.S. government says that none of the banks that it tested are at risk of going out of business. That’s comforting coming from a government that’s almost out of money.

5. The only pig in Afghanistan is now being quarantined. It was an unexpected way to announce the surprise visit by Rush Limbaugh.
