South Wales. The deportees and their families are getting nervous. The indigenous peoples are gearing up to take back their land from the white settlers who have stolen it and abused their people. Tensions are high. I highly recommend Kate Grenville's book, The Secret River

This book is certainly not cheering me up, but watching Bill Maher, Stephen Colbert, and reading funny stuff on the internet certainly helps.
