| 5 Dead as Twin Blasts Hit Pakistan Mainly Shiite District |
| 2013-11-23 |
| [An Nahar] Twin bomb kabooms killed at least five people and injured 18 others in Pakistain's port city of Bloody Karachi ...formerly the capital of Pakistain, now merely its most important port and financial center. It is among the largest cities in the world, with a population of 18 million, most of whom hate each other and many of whom are armed and dangerous... on Friday, police said. The two blasts took place within minutes of each other in the city's bustling, predominantly Shiite neighborhood of Ancholi. |

| #5 Ah, yes - you and James are right. I still maintain right-ness about Hemingway-in-a-flaming-tutu, though. |

| #4 Hummm..... Where I come from it's a longer form. As in "I find it difficult to care any less about your situation". * So I think correctly it would be, "I couldn't care less". "I could care less" implies an certain amount of caring, which I don't think the statement is trying to convey. * A Professor of Winnowing of my yut. |

| #3 Actually, it's "I could care less." A bit pedantic? Yes. And I sort-of apologize. But if one is going to post in the same thread as our resident Hemingway-in-a-flaming-tutu, one really should try to raise the quality level of the overall commentary. |

| #1 " Karachi, a city of 18 million people, which contributes 42 percent of Pakistain's GDP, is rife with murder, kidnappings and has been plagued with sectarian, ethnic, and political violence for years." It has something to do with the amount of Peace in the Religion of Peace ( you may have already noticed.) Moslem Values...that sort of thing. And , hey, what is 5 dead Moslems. Are we short of Moslems. I mean, really. Wake me up when there are some real numbers. |
