This is how the BBC reports the issue.
And this is the MSNBC version.

The only thing keeping me from running across the water into Merry Olde England is the thought that MSNBC isn't the American equivilant of the BBC anyway.

Heh.

I've had thoughts of going to Canada, but you know... it won't stop the insanity in America, and unfortunately, it won't matter where in the world anyone goes, because as long as America (collective) and it's Govo are laboring under the mass delusion that they are the Grand High Pooh Bah of world politics (Team America: World Police, indeed!), then their influence will still be felt everywhere.

What's the point of having a UN if you're going to do your own thing anyway?

When SOUTH Korea is sending emergency aid to North Korea and the rest of the world isn't, something is wrong.

CANDY?? Not to mention the feel-good, sloppy prose. ::bangs head against wall::

(found you through readerravenclaw, btw, and finally friended you after getting tired of using three clicks to get to your links to articles).

I'm trying to post more other stuff, actually, and lump the articles together more. I feel lazy.
