…my old car stereo today…

I did take it out of my car yesterday, but I forgot to get the CD (Chaka Khan’s Epiphany) out…

So I had to kill it!

By that I did save Chaka!!

Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant is asking an interesting question about the case of the missing 4-years old British girl, Madeleine, in Portugal.
I had been thinking about the same the last few days… I was afraid to be called insensitive. But my opinion is shared.

To my opinion this missing/kidnapping is a very sad and for all personal tragedy for the parents. But the Dutch media, following the really hysteric UK press, are making a real hype of it.

There are children missing in every country in Europe (just to take a geographic dividing line) every day and we don’t hear anything of it. But this news is BIG and everywhere!

The news came as the family and friends of Madeleine McCann launched a fund to help trace the four-year-old and bring her abductors to justice.

Unveiled at Leicester’s Walkers Stadium yesterday, Madeleine’s Fund is inviting people to make donations in person at their local bank, by post or via the internet to help pay for Maddie’s parents, Gerry and Kate, to stay in Portugal to continue their search.

Even David Beckam is donation money, out of the USA.

I have another comparison in my head, but saying that will be about the same as blasphemy. If you want to know, ask me…
