mysteriouser and mysteriouser

On Tuesday's Daily Show, Jon Stewart showed a clip from "The View" in which the girls (did there used to be more of them?) were talking about what a terrible tragedy the tsunami in the Indian Ocean was and how distraught they were about all the lost lives. Then Star Jones told of how about how God "blesses us" because she had been down "there" one month prior to the tsunami. Then one of the other women gasped "oh that's right you were on your Honeymoon in the Maldives!" To which Star reiterated that she had been down there "just one month prior" and that "God blesses us." Then they all lapsed into a group gush about this divinely engineered close call that Starr had experienced. What a miracle!

You know, Chicago had a big flood downtown about six months before I moved there, so I kind of know where Star's coming from.

Stewart: "160,000 dead is not a blessing!"
