Somalians bombed some Ethiopian clubs in Uganda. You figure that one out.
Roman Polanski has been freed by the Swiss. I'd boycott Switzerland, but I'm already boycotting Arizona. Although, I guess freeing someone who drugged and raped a 13 year old girl is a bit worse than just being overtly racist to a group of people who have occupied the area where they live for the entirety of recorded history. Or is it?
They're saying French PM Nicholas Sarkozy may have accepted some money he wasn't supposed to. Shocker.
Israel backpedals over that nasty flotilla incident.
The International Criminal Court has issued another warrant for the Sudanese President. This time for genocide.
The Church of England is giving somewhat better treatment to women than the Catholics.
Michelle Obama is going to the big oil spill. Hopefully she's got some big sponges.
BP has given up on their latest attempt to stop the oil spill. Again. Plan L, coming up.
People on the Gulf Coast are PISSED OFF.
The Afghanistan-Pakistan border is still the last place on earth you'd want to be right now. Err.... maybe. Somalia is pretty hellish.
Oh, yeah - NATO isn't doing much to secure that border. Neither is the Afghani puppet government.
There's a helluva lot of rain in China. Lots of floods, landslides. Bad stuff.
Haiti is still in terrible condition after the earthquake. It was essentially a giant ghetto beforehand, so they may never ever ever recover. Don't worry. If people are forced to live in high-density squalor for too long, disease eventually wipes them out so there won't be much of anyone to worry about.
These Doctors Without Borders people are SAINTS. And they look depressed as hell. As do the citizens. The word they keep using is “grim.”
It's pretty ballsy to follow that story with one about Spain winning the World Cup. Soccer seems rather unimportant right now. All of Spain is drunk. Bootleg merchandise is selling like hotcakes. (I'm assuming it's bootlegged.)

Man, I don't think I'll be writing up BBC news again. It's not at all funny. The no commercials thing is nice.
