Politically incorrect bright side to the Pakistan floods - it's Ramadan anyway

If you want serious coverage of the Pakistan floods, read Patrick Lockerby. If you want it to be obvious that during Ramadan people fast anyway, read Boston.com

I guess it isn't that bad, but only a Northeast preudo-progressive big media paper would write a headline implying that religious rituals aren't saving anyone from real world peril.
