Does it even count as news at this point?

The U.S.: Still killing Haïtians.

Speaking of which, if you're American, here's where your aid money is going:

Each American dollar roughly breaks down like this:
42 cents for disaster assistance
33 cents for U.S. military aid
nine cents for food
nine cents to transport the food
five cents for paying Haitian survivors for recovery efforts
just less than one cent to the Haitian government
about half a cent to the Dominican Republic.

And if you're Canadian, don't feel smug. The always-problematic CIDA is emphasising foreign policy considerations in its aid strategies. Which it always did, of course, but expect Canadian foreign aid to be even more nakedly imperialist than it was before.

They're going to turn Haïti into a bloody resort for Westerners, over the corpses of 200,000 Haïtians. That's what they're talking about when they say "rebuilding."

OH TEH NOES, IT'S WOMEN'S STUDIES!

outcastspice found this bit of hilarity from the National Socialist Post,* along with Jezebel's response. And because I can never pass up an opportunity to mock the National Socialist Post, let's take a closer look!

If the reports are to be believed, Women's Studies programs are disappearing at many Canadian universities. Forgive us for being skeptical. We would wave good-bye without shedding a tear, but we are pretty sure these angry, divisive and dubious programs are simply being renamed to make them appear less controversial.

Well, it turns out that our friends here don't actually support capitalism as much as they claim to. Because, as a general rule, universities don't really offer programs that no one takes, so presumably, there are students who wish to take Women's Studies courses and are paying for that privilege, and hence the universities offer them, and this sort of concession to supply and demand cannot be tolerated.

Who has an anti-feminist bingo card on them? Tick off "angry," and wait until you see the next paragraph.
