Okay, there are some stories that are just too wierd. A student attacks a bunch of Hells Angels in Germany - by throwing a pouooy at them? Then he drives off - in a stole bulldozer!

Yemeni cleric advocates killing US civilians - Yahoo! News
This is the kind of news that makes people want to "Keep America for Americans" - a US born foreign national now a terrorist, using his US developed education to foment murder.
The thing is, he probably would have been the same whether he went to the States or not. He just gets so much more notoriety because of the accident of his birth.

Just Sitting Here Watching...
...the world pass by. It is Friday afternoon and school is out. I have a bag full of exams and papers to grade and at home I have two novels beckoning. Tonight I have a gathering of some expats who are celebrating one of them finally getting permission to marry here in Ecuador (a four month process). At home there is a wife and housefull of dogs and cats and who knows what. So I decided for a time out.
So here I am, sitting at a comfortable table at a "Sweet and Coffee" - Ecuador's version of Starbucks. A minute ago John Lennon was doing his "Just Sitting Here Watching..." which is the inspiration for the title to this little post. Right now the opening bars of "Eye of the Tiger" are picking up, and meanwhile I am sipping on a brandy expresso with whipped cream, watching the life of Guayaquil pass by..
Okay, now I remember. THIS IS WHY WE MOVED TO ECUADOR.

Teaching Candidates Aplenty, but the Jobs Are Few - NYTimes.com
Teaching as I am in Ecuador, I have been a bit insulated from the disruption in the job market in the States. The New York Times has an article which is pretty shocking to me:
My wife and I were thinking of ending our overseas time and heading back to the USA since we are getting older and health care is an issue, but now we are thinking we might need to hang on another year or more.
