- The first Carnival of Politics is up, and I’m honored to be participating in it with something completely awesome that I did. Check ‘em out.
- The private right-wing media companies in Venezuela, which were instrumental in the coup that temporarily removed Chavez from power by playing doctored footage and telling flat out lies, are accusing Hugo of stifling the freedom of the press. The law they’re bitching about now is one passed in 2005 which requires all news to actually have a verifiable source. That tyrant! All Western democracies know that the right of corporations to report fake news should never be infringed upon by the people.
- Barney Jones, also known as Jedi Master Jonba Hehol and co-founder of the original Jedi church in the UK, was attacked by a man in a Darth Vader costume while giving a media interview in his backyard. Jones’ girlfriend also suffered injuries. Okay, I made up that last part. Girlfriend? C’mon, that’s unbelievable.
- Japanese scientists have found that Liver Cirrhosis can be reversed in rats by packaging artificial inhibitor molecules with Vitamin A, which allows liver stellate cells to absorb the molecules and cease production of the collagen which causes liver deterioration. Good news for rats with drinking problems. Maybe someday Americans will have health care equal to rodent care.
- Researchers have found that malaria parasites can be killed in 24 hours by a suppository derived from sweet wormwood. While the suppository works better than the conventional drug quinine, patients say the treatment is a pain in the ass.
