"That's mad, that is mad."

New Yorkers always think they are the center of the universe, it seems today they might be right. On one end of the city, the UN General Assembly meets. Blocks away Wall Street continues to unravel. At a conference somewhere in the middle of the chaos stands the Irish rock star, who - like him or not - is pretty good with words.

"It is extraordinary to me that you can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can't find $25 billion to save 25,000 children who die every day of preventable treatable disease and hunger," the U2 lead singer told Clinton's fourth annual philanthropic summit in New York. "That's mad, that is mad."

We agree. It is more than mad, it is unconscionable. BC is glad the episcopals are praying, we need it.
