Earthquake

I know this is mainly a blog about U.S. politics - despite that disclaimer at the top I almost never blog about anything else - but I think it's only right to take some time out and extend my sorrow and sympathies for the now 18,000 dead, 45,000 injured and those left to pick up the pieces as a result of yesterday's earthquake in Pakistan. I hope that even with the loss of their loved ones, the survivors can soon return to some sort of normal life.
