I'm sure most of you can easily find links to the Riyadh and Basra bombing stories everywhere on the web so I'll skip coverage on them and future ones unless something monumental happens. Depressingly, I expect there to be plenty more of these stories in the future unfortunately.

Final note: the weather in NYC has been beautiful the last few days but the smog this year is bananas. Looking into Manhattan from my subway stop in Brooklyn this morning reminded me of times I've been to LA and experienced their infamous smog. Last night when I was coming home from a Talib Kweli/NikeLab party I couldn't even see any of the buildings there at all, just a light brown glow through all the smog. Bloomberg/Pataki: sort it out!
