U.S. Raid causing 16 deaths, irks Shiites (Yahoo News)

Irks??!???

'Irks' is when my cubicle neighbor plays Barry Manilow for eight straight hours, not when an air raid kills 16 people. In a related article, 9 out of 10 Iraqis found suicide bombings 'distracting'.

PS If I ever see another tabloid with the headline 'Holy Shiite' or 'The Shiite has hit the fan' or any other stupid pun on the word shiite, I will put out my eyes.
