Ban Ki Moon, UN Secretary General, is in Burma trying to persuade the generals to behave sensibly.

Photo by Renee Rendler-Kaplan What the hell, weather? This is July 4th! This is Independence Day! This is the day when we eat too much, drink too much, and blow shit up. In other words, the day we celebrate being American! And the weather you give us is... this ? It's traitorous. Didn't we just go through this on Memorial Day?
