mushrooming reality

i found myself awake at 4 this morning in front of the tv. now its amazing what good shit is on that late (early?) at night. its hong kong's election, apparently. and china have tried as much as they can to make the citizens (hong kongese?) vote for them, and not the pro-democrats. this is deemed newsworthy according to those in control at the sabc. but that aside, soemthing else interesting that happened in that part of the world: a massive mushroom-cloud explosion was 'noticed' in north korea. amid hysteria on britain and the us's part that the north koreans were testing nuclear bombs again, their 'vice-foreign minister for europe' (who even has such a thing?) said that the blast was part of the deconstruction of a mountain for some hydroelectric scheme.
today must be a day for weird news, cause pamela anderson is now on billboards across the states saying 'boycott kfc'. she's really into this whole cause and has written letters to people that kfc sponsor to urge them to pressure kfc into killing their chickens in a way where the chickens don't feel any pain. never really understood any of this humane killing thing- killing is killing... in'it?


what made my day today: just read this about our president. and then maybe you'll be as impressed as i am :)
