Not really surprised by recent events on a macro level.

Have expected some right-wing nut to come unhinged and start killing people. Just didn’t expect it to happen in Norway.

I know it’s cruel but I’m not shocked that Winehouse bought the farm either. How could anyone? Yeah, tragic and all that but oh-so predictable. Suicidal even. Should anyone–management, record company, fans even–be held responsible for enabling her self destruction?

Then the Murdoch phone hacking hubbub. Couldn’t happen to a more deserving family. I wouldn’t mind seeing them lose everything. The real tragedy is the hundreds of innocent workers who lost their jobs when News of the World closed yet the Murdochs keep billions.
