gwydion* In South Sudan, a town has been completely depopulated and another emptied and burned with the exception of a hospital and a couple of other especially fire resistant buildings. It's all rubble and corpses. Both sides of the Civil War are getting more and more brutal. It's sounding like the peace talks haven't accomplished much at this point, what with zero progress on even a temporary cease fire.
* A rocket attack on Arsal Lebanon has killed seven civilians, mostly children. Syria has been blamed for completely logical reasons, but I'm seeing some disagreement on that.
* The Hoboken aspect of the bridge scandal adds another wrinkle to the Christie administration's abuse of power.
* Proof I am not a proper grown up: My brain automatically translates alleged Bridge scandal/Hoboken shakedown artists "Wolf and Sampson" into "Wolfram and Hart."
* TW "Republican congressional hopeful doesn’t think spousal rape should be a crime:" http://www.salon.com/2014/01/15/republican_congressional_hopeful_doesnt_think_spousal_rape_should_be_a_crime/
As long as Republicans keep demanding we legalize rape, I do not understand why any women vote for them.

* I was trying to take today fairly easy, as my arms and hands are still messed up from driving and I am tired. Most of the housework involved discovering and cleaning up cat messes. I also put together my stereo. The new component is as excellent as promised, though some of my equipment is too antiquated to hook up, but luckily it was secondary stuff I got free over the years and mostly use as back ups. The important pieces remain and now I can haz music.
