by the way, not that it matters i suppose, but christina green's funeral was today:

so everything is not, apparently, about sarah palin. how about that?
and there were riots in tunisia today:

the president, who's been in power since 1987, announced he's not going to seek "re-election" in 2014 and also that prices on staple products were going to be controlled and lowered. because people were rioting over the effects of neo-liberal policies, you see. you know, the way they float all boats by helping the poor starve.
meanwhile, in another example of upside-down world thinking, laurent gbagbo still won't step down as president of the ivory coast. last week, he was trying to blame the united nations for genocide by noting how they keep showing up where they happen. today, the un was attacked in abidjan:

but i'm sure there's no connection between the rhetoric of violence and what people do. why it wouldn't be fair to say that.
