So, I peruse the morning news as I usually do and I see that the states are busy eying new tax revenue streams, including mileage taxes in addition to gas taxes. Gotta love the mind of a politician. They’ve never met a tax they didn’t like.

Sudan is busy trying to finish off those living in Darfur that didn’t die in the genocide, ethnic cleansing, or the civil war - by demanding all the aid groups leave the country by the end of the year because the regime in Khartoum thinks those groups have been providing evidence to the ICC that the Sudanese president has been involved in war crimes and crimes against humanity (no, the body count is more than sufficient combined with the evidence that the Sudanese military has been involved).

On the plus side, doctors may have come up with a technique that would eliminate or greatly reduce peanut allergies.
