Last night, I got the most chilling phone call I have ever received. It was Jake Burris, Ken Aden’s campaign manager. Last night, Jake and his four kids had come back to their Russellville home. As they were getting out of the car, one of his children discovered their family cat dead on the front porch. One side of the animal’s head had been bashed in and an eyeball was hanging out of its socket. But there was something even more horrifying to be found on the corpse. Written across the animal’s fur in black marker was the word “LIBERAL.

Ugh. Sorry to put this on your dashboard. Don’t click that link unless you want to see what you think you’re going to see. Perhaps the Internet will somehow make things right. (via newsweek)

South Sudan is set to be officially recognized as an independent nation on July 9, 2011. But hundreds of thousands of newly displaced people in the world’s newest country are facing emergency needs.
In May, violence between northern Sudan and South Sudan forces in the contested border region of Abyei pushed some 100,000 people from their homes. Many saw family members killed during heavy bombardments and military ambushes. Some people, terrified of the violence, traveled as far as 10 days from home seeking safety.
By early July, more than 6,300 people had taken refuge in the South Sudan villages of Juong Pajok and Mayem Pajok, in the Akon North area of Warrap State.

The Mississippi River has been flooding for a while now, and in order to fend it off, people have built levees around their homes as protection. Sometimes it works.
