The news of Exodus closing is excellent - hopefully it means fewer people are put through undue stress and torment for a "cure" for something that isn't even bad in the first place.
LL: Haha, indeed.

A nice look at our situation (Obama's, Syria...) from an outsiders perspective.

I still prefer this 'outside perspective': http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57589 ... nsa-leaks/
In essence there's crud everywhere and there's no clean solution, especially in Syria. (Don't help, let a dictator use chemical weapons to kill his own people. Help, fuel unrest, maybe end up with a new dictator in power!)

Calgary flooded!
Photos of the aftermath... http://bizboxtv.com/calgary-flooding-20 ... res-video/
Some 200,000 were displaced I think.

We have a new old Prime Minister in Australia (the PM kicked out of the job by his party has been restored by his party). For those not in Australia: has you country's media covered it much? I know some UK and US papers have given it high ranking but don't know of much beyond that.

[POLITICALOFFTOPIC]I just don't see how Labor can win the next election anymore, their constant infighting being covered by media appearances seems to show me their primary interest was keeping face and sledging Liberal more than actual governing, particularly with Gillard. I think the only reason we put up with it was because Abbot did the same thing and descend the argument to the likeness of children arguing over the rules of a game.
Still I get a laugh when I tell people I live in a country that at one point had a combined disapproval rating of 125-130%; I even thought up a slogan for the occation - Australia, soon to be lead by my hairy arse!
'At least my stool is transparent.'
I'm seriously considering donkey-voting this election, that's how much I don't trust any of them to lead.[/POLITICALOFFTOPIC]

i think in a lot of political talk we always go on about how childlike politicians are and what-have-you, but i think they're only like that cause that is as far as the average joe is interested in politics. politicians generally use buzzwords and fear mongering cause that stuff actually works, that is what the average person actually reacts to.
in short, these supposed awful people in power are only there cause we all let them be.

I will note that Putin got actual political support because he was bald: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bald%E2%80%93hairy

YouTube celebrates LGBT pride
I wonder if that has anything to do with Exodus closing.
How's LGBT News with Fleexy for a series?
