I really like reading the BBC, and thankfully Mozilla builds on my preferences. So here's to today's news coming from a source with its own preferences but not nearly the same bias as either Fox or the Comm. News Network.
North Korea's leader Kim Jong-il promoted his son with no military experience to the rank of 4-star general. Not really any surprise here, it seems to be a tradition, but you would think that the country itself should be worried about having a leader without any leadership experience. We're talking about a country whose party hasn't even met in 30 years! I know that the press there is limited, but still you would think that someone would be a bit concerned, especially as families go hungry while the government toys around with missiles that have yet to accomplish anything beyond ticking China and Japan off.
Actress Emma Johnson also made the top of my list today as she got a full article from BBC on her criticism of those who fail to use correct language in their every day speaking. It's ironic for a web-based news article to criticize poor language for which the internet is partially to blame. And yet I applaud her for her efforts today.
I would think it'd be very embarrassing to one of the women testifying to being duped into sex with a girl because they thought she was a man. And who knew you could actually be tried for fraudulent sex?
Finally, my thoughts and prayers are with the traumatized students and staff at the University of Texas. Football dislike aside, I wish the best for you.
