Oct. 9th, 2013 01:16 am* Due to the situation in Egypt, we are cutting off military aid. The reasons should be obvious, but it also means no one knows what happens next as far as Egypt and Israel.
* In Nebraska, the government is forcing an abused 16 year old girl to stay pregnant against her will. She was denied an abortion on the grounds that because she is a high school student in foster care who can't support herself, let alone a child, it is obvious she should be forced to have one. I have no fucking words.
* Rachel Maddow's coverage of Nebraska forcing the abused teen to carry to term against her will:

* According to Authorities, Kendrick Johnson's death by blunt force trauma and him turning up rolled in a wrestling mat near some bloody shoes belonging to someone else was clearly an accident, so they didn't bother properly testing the shoes or following up on the blood on the wall, which didn't belong to the victim. They insist he bludgeoned himself to death before rolling himself in a mat, so there was no point in properly investigating, nor did they wear shoe protectors or take other precautions not to contaminate the scene. They insist that despite all appearances, this is somehow not a cover up. Is anyone surprised the family disputes that. It happened in Georgia. Guess what color Kendrick Johnson is. Go on. Bet you guessed it in one.
Another young man murdered and the police continue to do nothing.

* Wallstreet big wigs continue to come out against the Republican plan to shave at least 4.2% off the GDP in an effort to cause a world economic crash and long term instability next week, even though these are exactly the policies they funded when they bought all those elections.
Republicans continue to argue that refusing to honor the debts the government incurred is a good idea because the negative effects are based on objective reality and therefore should not be taken into account when making policy.
* To my delight, Ms. Yellen is to be nominated for Federal Reserve System Chairperson. This is the most positive financial news I've heard since before the Deregulation caused financial crisis. *fingers crossed she makes it through confirmation* We could use someone in charge of the Fed who cares about the health of the whole economy instead of padding the Cayman accounts of the 1%.
Best of luck to Janet Yellen. We could use a little hope in the gloom of all this self created crisis.
