arrogance.

friday morning the brits lost 179 personnel over the course of 6 years in combat operations in iraq. the americans, a lot more than that. yet the way bbc reports the end of operations in iraq by the british armed forces, makes it seem as if they have lost thousands of soldiers.

i can't help but to think whether or not this is a sort of remnant empirical snobbisness - the brits thinking they are still superior to others.

speaking of news. swine flu. who would have thought? the pigs are having their revenge on us. ha..
