No pithy title.

Sometimes something happens that is so awful, so amazingly bad that even someone like me, who deals with almost everything with sarcasm, can't be amusing.

This is the scope of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean. There is nothing funny to say. There is nothing ironic to crack wise about. God how I wish there were.

Here (I lifted this directly off the CBC site, I think, given the circumstances, they won't mind):
