The wave of pro-democracy protests that started with Georgia then Ukraine and Lebanon have now spread to Kyrgyzstan where protesters have seized control of a city. A police station has been destroyed but there have been surprisingly few injuries as the government so far refuses to use force. These protests stem from last week's elections.

Prisoner of Conscience Freed
BBC
The University of Richmond Amnesty International Chapter has had its second prisoner of conscience freed and this time we didn't even do anything. We were going to hold a special event about her next week, but now we have to make other plans. The Chinese are always trying to foil our plans.

More Virulent HIV Virus Discovered
New York Times
New York City health officials have confirmed a case of new strain of HIV that is resistant to most anti-viral drugs and progresses to AIDS in a matter of months instead of years. Officials are now searching for any sexual partners that the man with this virus has had. If you've have sex with a meth addict in New York in past two years, please contact the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Also, let me know what "Mental Hygiene" is.

My Fridge is Bleeding!
It was a lovely day outside, so I decided that I would go out and read for awhile. I picked up "Neverwhere" (which I finally finished) and my macroeconomics textbook and headed to the fridge to get some Cheerwine. I opened the door to discover this:
There was red liquid everywhere. The Cheerwine on the table had congealed into a thick syrupy substance that looked just like blood, except it was sticky.
I found the culprit. The can that was directly underneath the freezer was frozen solid. Luckily, it still had most of the Cheerwine still in it.
My roommate and I don't remember hearing any loud noises coming from the fridge. Also, the last time I had opened it was a few days earlier. Most of the Cheerwine that had leaked out of the fridge was hidden underneath it, so we probably wouldn't have noticed it for awhile. I speculate that it happened sometime between 5AM Saturday and 3PM Monday.
In anycase, my fridge is now the cleanest it has been in years.
Yay! Happy Fridge!
