Not the Sushi!

So Japan's reeling from a devastating earthquake, plus the tsunami, plus nuclear reactor emergency response. All this makes a great news week - so many angles for bad news, with a sprinkling of human interest. A few pundits make the usual abhorrent blame-the-victim statements, whose only silver lining may be to disgust the rest of us so much we resolve on the spot to send whatever aid we can.

In the midst of all this, the one headline that really took me aback? "Price of sushi may rise!" Really?!
Tall glass of clean, clear drinking water's still free, here. Let's not feel too sorry for ourselves.
