Evidently people in the United States have learned nothing from the last time a bunch of butthurt reactionaries tried to ragequit the United States after losing an election they made a lousy job of contesting:

A global link poutpourri )

So there you have it, a broad poutpourri of the news of the present. Much of this is a repeat of what has gone before, leading to a simple question here: why is it that so much of what's already been seen keeps repeating itself? Haiti having another food crisis is easy to foresee, its infrastructure was already poor enough before the big earthquake and then damaged worse and the storm making it worse is no help. The European riots are a "Do you actually have an alternative? If not, stop that shit you're not helping" thing to me, and Israel playing the USA against Hamas's Al-Qaeda is a 'ho-hum' thing. I do, however, find it heavily ironic that people in the United States are once again so butthurt over losing an election they actually want to walk out. Then again, this is a country where people genuinely think the Devil made dinosaurs to offend the faith of Christians, so yeah. Ultimately I think what these stories show also is that some issues have deep roots, and that where multiple crises in a short time happen, the roots are unaffected and events repeat themselves, while elsewhere people learn nothing from the past and damn themselves to repeat it.

He's going to cut all ties with Obama voters and spit at them.

You can get a good idea of the content by looking at his subchapter titles:
- Time to tell any Democrats you know to fuck off and die
- Express your hatred, shame, and outright disgust with anyone you know who voted Democrat
- Boycott Business who accept Welfare payments

One thing I haven't understood is this idea that people on welfare or food stamps are nothing but lazy moochers -- but then at the same time the unemployment rate is Obama's fault. If the unemployed people are too lazy to get jobs and just want to stay on welfare, why should Obama need to create more jobs?

EDIT: He's posted more about his new found fame after this article. My favorite is this bit:
"I would have never predicted that the leftwing media would run with the story, and the right media give it scant coverage. I still can't figure out why that is the case. "

Yeah, I don't know why left-wing media would want to cover this story. I can't imagine what interest it would possibly hold for them.
