Goodnight from Sydney

That's it for today!

Last night I left you with the words of a Tom Waits song, I Wish I Was in New Orleans.

Tonight as I sign off after yet another day of tragedy, not only in the U.S. but in Indonesia, Iraq, Afghanistan and also here in Australia, I am reminded of another Tom Waits song.

The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
The ship is sinking
There's leak, there's leak,
In the boiler room
The poor, the lame, the blind
Who are the ones that we kept in charge?
Killers, thieves, and lawyers
God's away, God's away,
God's away on Business. Business.

Wherever you may be - be safe!
