The Airportline: Observations

Important things are happening around us. Airportline takes you along to some of the stories of today. The BBC report that researchers have found a correlation between shopping and women having their periods. According to the article:
Psychologists believe shopping could be a way for premenstrual women to deal with the negative emotions created by their hormonal changes.

I'm not sure how to comment on this, but I'm sure it will anger some feminists and please some men who like to blame all bad things on periods.

As the financial crisis is getting more and more severe, world leaders are looking hard to find someone to blame. China is blaming the US, the US Congress is blaming everyone else, and now Sarkozy is threatening to walk out of the up coming G20 meeting unless some kind of 'global financial supervisor' is being introduced. Why? Because it's the anglo-saxons who got us into this mess. Times Online writes about it here.

International Herald Tribune has been incorporated in the New York Times website structure starting this Monday, loosing it's previous layout, which I liked. Now it has the same dull NYT look that's been around for way too long online. Fortunately they still have nice stories, as this one, about Fox News populist crazy pundit Glenn Beck who manages to make Sean Hannity look like a truly fair and balanced person.
He says that America is “on the road to socialism” and that “God and religion are under attack in the U.S.” He recently wondered aloud whether FEMA was setting up concentration camps, calling it a rumor that he was unable to debunk.
