The Gulf of Tonkin incident was the first thing I thought of when I saw that headline yesterday.

Alabama woman says judge ordered her to allow her alleged rapist to visit their sons: report

Quote:
The woman, named Jessica, says she felt she “didn't have any options” when her uncle started to climb into her bed at night when she was around 12 or 13 years old. He allegedly impregnated her four times during her teenage years but was never convicted despite DNA evidence, she says. Now, she claims a judge told her she would spend 48 hours in a county jail every time she denied her alleged rapist visitation time with her sons.
Goddamn. Alabama is full steam ahead on living up to the most disturbing stereotypes about the Deep South.

Special Report from ONN




During the past couple weeks horrifying events have struck the people of Khartoum, Sudan. While Sudan as a whole is well known as Africa’s ****tiest ****hole the urbanites of Khartoum have historically been immune to the long string of tragedies that have been choking out their rural countrymen for decades.

The people of Khartoum objected to the latest military takeover and took to the streets in a manner reminescent of America’s recent Occupy Movement, only much greater in numbers. The Janjaweed response has been quick and brutal. Several dozen protestors were met with machine gun fire and soon their bloodied corpses were being tossed into the famous Nile River.

Unconvinced that open acts of mass murder fully illustrated their dominance the Janjaweed turned to the time honored tradition of gang raping the remaining women and girls they saw fit for such treatment.

If UN troops were about they once again decided to sit this one out. The citizens of Khartoum are making some effort to regroup and are being encouraged to use non-violence as their means for social change and justice in the tradition of the Mahatma Gandhi.

How could this get any worse?

The bloodshed in Sudan has prompted concern from some world powers, but the military council has been bolstered by support from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, which between them have offered $3bn in aid.
Oh for the love of ****.

Nice!

You should put a "Breaking News" chyron at the bottom and make it move in a continuous loop from right to left like the networks do.

About a month ago, Doug McC seemed to think that flooding in England was a joke. Boy, is he going to eat his words when he sees this latest news photo from the BBC:
Huge Puddle Inconveniences Well Over Five Cottages! If that's not a natural disaster, I don't know what is.

I personally bounced back from the 2008 recession after about three years of belt-tightening, so I was surprised to hear on the news yesterday about how millenials in the USA are still suffering as a result of that career setback eleven years ago. Some events have a knock-on effect that resonates unseen years down the line. That's one reason that not only Trump, but media coverage of Trump, can be so alarming. With the headlines of the day dictated by Trump's latest tweet, not many people are offering long-term analysis, which is why I make a point of listening to this guy every Sunday:-



^ I don't suppose Trump cares or understands this kind of risk; like his attitude to global warming, it's a case of "I'll get what I can now and my kids can live with the consequences."
