In 1977 Joe Strummer sang that hate and war are the only things we got today and it’s hard not to think that, man, how some things never change. Although, then he goes on to sing about “wops” and “kebab greeks” and the song seems to be about “wars” between different ethnic groups in England and it sounds as though Joe doesn’t like foreigners at all. He could have been saying that stuff as parody, though, who knows. Have a listen for yourself as you read today’s headlines which happen to have a lot of war in them.
- Tonight’s to big night of Obama speech on troop withdrawals from Afghanistan, a war which costs a lot of money to pursue.
- There is a glitch in Obama’s healthcare plan, which serves him right because it’s just a war on free enterprise amiright?
- Mother Nature continues her war on humanity, leaving 30,000 in Chicago without power, there is also been some pretty bad flooding anticipated in North Dakota.
- Two forest rangers were killed in Florida while battling a forest fire.
- Sectarian violence continues in Belfast.
- Syria has been forcing people to attend pro-Assad rallies.
- Mexican police struck a manage blow against the drug cartels, capturing the top boss of La Familia.
- Dozens of Al-Qaeda members escaped from a prison in Yemen.
- A penguin swam all the way from Antarctica to New Zealand, hey not everything is about war I guess.
