Number of People Living in Poverty in U.S. Increases Again The Census Bureau reported today that the number of Americans living in poverty jumped by 1.7 million people last year, the second year in a row the number has increased, and that median household income declined. It was the first time since the early 1990's that there have been negative changes in poverty and incomes in two consecutive years. 7 Iraqis Die in Mortar Blast Possibly Intended for U.S. Forces A mortar crashed down in the town square in the cool of early evening here on Thursday, killing at least seven Iraqis: a peddler chatting with his brother, the owners of the local computer store, a pair of sheep sellers from the north. At least 20 people were wounded. It was the third fatal attack in recent weeks by mortars, powerful and portable shells that are questionably accurate but are lethal when they hit. "One hundred percent, it's effective," Mohammad Jabbar, 42, a former artilleryman in the Iraqi Army and so an expert on mortars, said as he stood in the newly pocked square here today. "You know, the bomb breaks into fragments. It kills people, penetrates their bodies, and kills more people." and finally, this week's strip from a softer world the loud family: "the ballad of how you can all shut up" "..elegance of line and sense of place.. ...the leaves change color. leave the leaves. believe what you like. it's change. change your name. leave town." posted by downtown | 5:51 PM |
