Mumbai Massacre

MSNBC is reporting that only 3 Americans have been injured in the Mumbai attacks; yet, yesterday evening, CNN was reporting that Americans and Britons were being targeted by terrorists. Odd mismatch, in my opinion.

We have to be very careful when watching news organizations as the constant stream of half-information and misinformation can confuse even them.

Toothdigger's Patron Saint

St. Agapius

Feastday: November 20 & August 19

Martyr and valiant defender of the faith. A Christian in Caesarea, Palestine, Agapius was taken prisoner in the persecutions of Emperor Diocletian. Three times he suffered imprisonment for the faith, released after enduring torture each time. Arrested a fourth, he was offered a pardon if he denied Christ. When he refused, he was penned up with a wild boar. The animal inflicted severe damage on him but did not kill him, so officials drowned him the next day (a stone was tied to his ankle, and he was thrown overboard into the sea.)
