In the News: Scary Stuff

Icelandic Government Collapses

"Digital Harrassment" - note that what I think is scary about this is that there is apparently something wrong with underage people sending their equally underage so's naked pictures of each other when both want this. What the hell?

On a lighter note, Crack Turns Out Not to be Worse for Babies than Tobacco - I was going to write "Crack not so bad for babies after all" but felt that wasn't quite right. Still, this was interesting and says something, I think, about the war on drugs.

I'm off!

Yeah parliamentary governments routinely dissolve. All it usually means is a snap election is called to replace them. There's no coup goin on here, perhaps unfortunately.

I understood that, but it's still bad when a formerly stable government has to call elections 2 years early...
