Good news, bad news, fake news

Good: One church refuses to marry anyone until gay people can marry equally. They are encouraging all heterosexual couples to postpone marriage until marriage is free for everyone. (Well, they say they will encourage all of the average of five straight couples that get married in that church each year…) It’s a step.

Bad: One village in Acheh is apparently just… gone: all but one of the houses is and around 80% of the people have completely vanished. The house in best shape has only two walls standing; the rest are brae foundations. And the inhabitants? They haven’t even found bodies.

And Bookdwarf pointed me to the fake news: Armstrong Williams, when he appeared with Cheney to complain about biased, unethical media coverage was actually a paid shill for the administration. Now, while it might sound like a great idea to get paid by two people for doing one job, it’s usually too good to be true. In fact, it’s probably right there in the contract or rule book– it certainly is in my case. You know, the employee handbook. The one they gave you when you got hired? You didn’t read your contract or terms of employment or any of the company policies did you? No, you didn’t. I bet you didn’t even sign up for the 401(k) and stuck with the default health insureance. Dumbass. You’re too stupid to live, let alone be a journalist.
