1 LIBYA IS ALL MESSED UP Here’s the CBC’s coverage hub and here’s some awful stuff at The Daily Beast.
2 UNION-BUSTING RETHUGLICANS PASS BILL The Wisconsin Legislature saw a super-sketchy move used to pass governor Scott “I like Koch” Walker’s awful “budget repair bill” that rips collective bargaining rights from most unions (not including cops or firefighters, can you say “divide and conquer?”). Want a bright side? The Wisconsin shitstorm might be discouraging other union-busting Republicans from throwing rocks at hornets nests.
3 GEORGIA: WHERE PEOPLE ARE JUST STUPIDER Some hayseed dipshit went went to a Tea Party town hall meeting and asked Republican Congressman Paul Broun ”Who’s gonna shoot Obama?” I’m assuming he pronounced it “shewt”. Anyway, the Congressman laughed.
Things are crazy everywhere! They’re out of control!
4 MOOOOOOOOOSE! Regina eyewitnesses report that hundreds of murderously enraged cervids a couple of moose are rampaging in downtown Regina are hanging out on the fringe of the city drawing up their evil schemes not bothering anyone at all.
5 FOUR CONSERVATIVE PARTY OFFICIALS CHARGED WITH BREAKING ELECTION LAW Read all about it.
6 OUR WEBSITE IS ONE YEAR OLD TODAY! My goodness how fast they grow up. Aside from now having a year’s worth of prairie dog archived online, Dog Blog had exactly 1687 posts to the end of yesterday. Ah, but what you want to know is, who had the most posts? Beatty, of course, wins with a staggering 514–the only one of us to break the post-a-day barrier. Other big posters were me (338), Dechene (192), Brotheridge (144), Rosie (139) and Shane (an even 100). So Happy Birthday Website!
First, yeah! Eat it, Rosie!
Second, you’re going down, Dechene. I will destroy you.
As for #4, did you read about the writer guy from La Ronge who broke a tooth in Mexico and owed $600, but his Credit Union bank card wouldn’t work, but after a call to the bank it was all sorted out, and then he paid and all was copasetic. Yeah, shocking. The story’s over at CBC. You gotta think his buddy works at CBC and thought his friend needed the publicity, because, honestly, who gives a shit? Dude has 5 more weeks in the sun.
