Today’s News

158 words.

Today was particularly boring, being a Friday and all, so I decided to comment on today’s top story. I have discovered the joy of RSS Newsfeed Readers, so I now have instant news from around the world available at my fingertips.

The big event of the day was, of course, Hurricane Katrina. Reuters in particular found this a fascinating event. All week one could find stories about how the storm, not even a Category 1 hurricane when it started mind you, was going to mess up Florida once again. No story would be complete without at least one reference to last year’s devastating hurricanes. So today we learned that Katrina finally pummeled Florida. Wait, no it hammered Florida. No wait, it devastated Florida. (It took Reuters three or four attempts to find the right verb for the story’s title.) Now, it turns out that Katrina is “rearming” after “rampaging” Florida. Keep your thesauruses handy for tomorrow’s hurricane news.
