Worldwide Irony News Digest

Thursday, January 19, 2012 by Pope Snarky

Hail Eris!

This is the second thing I've done today, breakfast being the first...On with the news.

Mittens is having a bad week...Fumbling a debate, skeletons coming out of his closet, Gingrich creeping up on him while Perry abandons his bid, and officially losing Iowa to that frothy mixture.

Obama killed the Keystone XL, but the GOP is desperately attempting to perform necromancy on it. Big Oil, after all, could make billions off selling it around the world, and the oil industry co-owns (along with the banking, investment, insurance, and other financial "industries") the Republican Party. The Harper government, as well as Stevie himself, are cheering them on, but who knows, maybe a 16-tonne weight will fall on 'im.

Rupert Murdoch is paying through the nose for phone hacking by his employees, who won't be hiring any more sherlocks to dig up dirt for them -- and the bloodletting has only begun...

Obama teh Job-Killer? Yeah, I think not.

Seattle hit by some of the chillier ramifications of AGW

Tehran rattles Hormuz sabre some more; Ankara wants nuclear talks resumed "without excuses." DC and Tehran don't really have a problem with that. It'd probably be best if Iranian atomic experiments were quietly re-focussed exclusively on power generation and medicine, abandoning military applications entirely, which ought to be not all that difficult, since it seems unlikely that Iran's nuclear program is presently geared towards weapons.

Meanwhile, Putin looks like he might be billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov's lunch, which may or may not be a good thing for Russian democracy.

Bangladeshi military foils coup, for a change.

Finally, the Tweet of the Day, courtesy of Imani Gandy, the AngryBlackLady.

There are lots more stories, but honestly, how many articles can you read?
