What a week! In the last seven days, we’ve had unprecedented headlines almost daily. Each of these events would have kept the U.S. media and their analysts busy for at least a week. Yet we only had a day or so to process each event before new news grabbed the spot light. It began on Wednesday with the death of over 340 people in the US south due to giant tornadoes that were stronger and wider than historically recorded for the region. Then, Friday Kate Middleton marries Prince William of the U.K. in one of the most highly publicized weddings in history. Saturday comes with an opportunity for everyone to catch their breaths. That is if you don’t care that John Paul II was being beatified in the Vatican before 1.5 million Catholic faithful, or that record rain has Missouri and Illinois government officials fighting over whether or not to blow up a levy to protect an Illinois town from flooding. And then, Sunday night at around 10:15 p.m. we learn that Osama Bin Laden, the sought after leader of Al Qaeda who’d been on the run since 9/11/2001, was killed by U.S. navy seals in a compound in Abbottabad, only a few miles North of the Pakistani capital.
Deep breath because it’s only Tuesday…
