NEWS NEWS NEWS

The Sky is Falling! Thousands of birds are falling from the sky with mysterious blood clots in Arkansas (thanks, Towleroad)... That's right next door to me (and insane)! A few hundred more have managed to die in Louisiana (remember when all their fish decided to stop breathing, a couple months ago?), but Kentucky says don't worry about it...

Pakistani Governor Salman Taseer was Assassinated by his own Body Guard: the alleged motive for the killing has to do with the governor's defense of a woman scheduled to be stoned to death and his disregard for the established "blasphemy laws"

Should we Split Sudan in Two, Put it Under Satellite Surveillance, or Both? Should we shake on it? The UN is working hard to help distribute "independence referendum" ballots, and the President promises to honor the decision met; so we'll see.

In Case You're Also Into Hating Politics: Virginia Senator Rick Boucher leaves a warm seat in congress for his campaign opponent after 28 years: claims supporting carbon regulation in the USA sank the ship on the campaign trail.

  1. Hey Aly, a few notes:

    NEWS NEWS NEWS does little to tell me what sort of news to expect from this Round-Up. What else might have you titled this post?

    I know I said all words in a headline should be capitalized, but I meant for the blog headline, not the mini headlines in a the news round-up itself. Bold suffices for letting us know that they're headlines.

    Keep style consistent. Use a colon after every bolded mini-headline, even when you have a ? or an !, otherwise it looks kinda weird.

    Otherwise, fine work and nice infographic.
