Worst Week Ever

1. Don Imus was finally let go. Yes, his supporters say, he has said stuff like this before about many other people, so why should he get fired now? The better question is: why wasn't he fired before?
2. Pope Benedict XVI, always on top of what the world's most pressing issues are, officially denouces evolution. A few days later, scientists announce they have found similar genes in humans and some monkeys that they can use to help study some of humanity's worst diseases.
3. A week after John McCain praises how safe Baghdad streets are, the Parliment building is the subject of a suicide bombing attack. Just one example in a career of backing the wrong horse.
4. Kurt Vonnegut, one of the last relevant living author's left in the world, dies at 84. Rest In Peace.
5. An African Union peacekeeper was killed by unidentified gunmen in Darfur. The thousands of deaths in Darfur make every week the worst week ever, and six other peacekeepers were killed this month. There needs to be something done about this, and we shouldn't wait another day.
