Ding Dong 1: Moammar's Amazons in Mourning

"Libyans erupted in euphoria Thursday after longtime Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi was killed by revolutionary forces who were finally able to overrun his hometown.

Gadhafi had himself declared "King of Kings" of Africa. But Thursday, he appeared bloody and lifeless in grisly cell phone images broadcast across the world." - via CNN

My condolences to Mo's Warrior Women.

Nothing To Do With Arbroath

I'm enjoying a newly discovered blog, Nothing To Do With Arbroath. It's pretty apparent that the blogger is from the UK (Scotland, based on the blog's name), without being able to find it stated anywhere specifically. The content isn't just local though, and includes stuff from here across the pond too. It's childish and random enough to suit my fancy. Below are links to some favorite recent posts -

Occupy Movement Heads to Venice

"For three weeks now, protesters have been camping out for OccupyWallSt, an anti-corporate greed movement whose website states, "The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%."
Now, the movement has arrived in Venice." - Link

Welcome Zeke

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who in the name of charity and goodwill shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee." - I'm an uncle again!
