Sabotabby reads the news some more

Here are some stories that you should pay attention to:

bcholmes has a post on how the cholera epidemic in Haïti likely started because of UN peacekeepers.

Did the Star seriously just run an article slamming Jenny Peto's master's thesis? Yes they did.

Don Cherry is a douche. This isn't news, I just thought I should mention it. Also, that suit is fucking horrible.

Ontario's ombudsman reports that McGuinty's secret law but not really a law was illegal. Rumour has it he will next investigate the preferred defecation grounds of bears.

You might not have seen this in the news back in May, but there is currently a Charter of Rights and Freedoms challenge around homelessness and inadequate housing. You can find more information here and here.

It does not surprise me at all that Don Cherry was invited to Rob Ford's inauguration (Hell, my dad thinks he should be the next Governor-General). Kind of sets the tone for your next four years doesn't it?

What's the deal with Jenny Peto's thesis, and why should the Star not have covered it?

I fucking hate the world. (Apologies for language.)

Also, did we not learn from the 17th fucking century that you don't dump raw sewage into the river?!

Don Cherry fills me with rage before he even opens his mouth. Then he spews his bullshit and I want to rip his eyeballs out through his ears.

sabs, have you blogged about the wikileaks thing at all? I keep wondering what you would have to say about it. I suspect it would be smart and give me some new insights. But no pressure; I know what a teacher's life is like.
