GOOD MORNING, BLOGTOWN! Oops, there goes my shirt up over my head. Oh my. Oops, there goes my skirt droppin’ to my feet. Oh my. LET’S GO TO PRESS.
According to a terrorism watchdog, Algerian extremists linked to ISIS have executed a French hostage.
Meanwhile the airstrikes against ISIS on the Syria-Iraq border continue—and, according to authorities, will continue to continue.
President Obama speaks to the UN, saying they must dismantle ISIS’ “network of death” while noting that the US cannot change the hearts and minds of the extremists.
Naturally, Vladimir Putin condemned the airstrikes saying they are an affront to Syria’s sovereignty. (Ummm… one word for Mr. Putin: Ukraine.)
And right on cue, the GOP uses their old pals, racism and the threat of terrorism, in their fight against the Democrats.
Talk about insidious… ISIS is also piggybacking on popular YouTube videos and Twitter hashtags to spread their message of hate. (I bet they even have more followers than I do. Sniff.)
Meanwhile tension heats back up in Ferguson, when a memorial to the slain Michael Brown is burned (maybe an accident? maybe not?), and a cop is seen wearing an “I Am Darren Wilson” bracelet (the officer who shot Brown).
A day after the UN committed to relieving climate change, the widow of Nelson Mandela stepped up to remind them, in no uncertain terms, of their half-ass measures.
While Pennsylvania Senator Jim Ferlo was announcing a proposed change to the state’s hate crime law, he also casually dropped this information: “Oh, I’m gay. Get over it. I love it.”
Here’s a local headline: “Portland mom who bit, choked 9-year-old son after he passed gas gets probation.”
Sorry, douchebags… but the “three boobed lady” is a FAKE. (Sad Tromboooooone.)
Now here’s what’s going on in your neck of the woods: Rain on and off all day, but slowing down to sunshine again by Friday.
And finally, to celebrate Col. Sanders’ birthday, KFC in Japan is giving away iPhone 5 chicken leg cases, and chicken leg pillows to wear on your head so you can sleep on your desk. I WANT.
Well shit, now I want some fried chicken.
