(via BBC News - UK economy shrank more than thought)
The United Kingdom’s economy seems to have been hit harder than initially thought. Somehow people have blundered a .1% of a difference! Holy jesus! But despite how big or small these people seemed to have messed up their economic calculations, what is confirmed without a doubt, is that the UK is in a recession.
Among some predictions are that the economy will continue to go down, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee thing will make it worse because, let’s be honest, how much money is she really saving doing things like that? But not trying to disrespect their monarchy, the actual problem lies within Downing Street. The UK government has to find out a way out of this mess, or else the entire world gets hit with their problems as well. Let’s just hope that this isn’t a secret plot by Cameron to somehow exit the euro.

Study Finds Fox News Viewers Least Informed Of All Viewers
Researchers at Fairleigh Dickinson University updated a study they had conducted in late 2011. That study only sampled respondents from New Jersey, where the university is located. This time, the researchers conducted a nationwide poll.
The pollsters found that people were usually able to answer 1.8 out of 4 questions on foreign news, and 1.6 of 5 questions on domestic news, and that people who don’t watch any news were able to get 1.22 of the questions on domestic policy right.
Oh boy.. Did we really need a whole updated study to know this about Fox viewers?
Me too, Stereophones, me too…

It’s not leprechauns that you have to be afraid of…
I have my own beliefs, and those beliefs are very dear to me. One of them is that I do not impose my beliefs on other people. Many, many years ago, I had a dear, close family relative that was very close to me who passed away from an illegal abortion. It is since that time that my mother and my family have been committed to the belief that we can believe as we want, but we will not force our beliefs on others on that matter. And you will not see me wavering on that.
