Anonymous Hacks Syrian President’s Email Accounts

Anonymous has released hundreds of damaging e-mails stolen from a web server used by Syrian President (and murderer) Bashar al Assad as well as members of his cabinet.

The group claims that many of the account passwords, including al Assad’s, were 12345.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past few months, you probably know that this is the guy who’s been ordering the slaughter his own people, who want him out of office.

Egyptian Football Riots Leave 74 Dead, Hundreds Injured

Deadly riots broke out in Egypt today following a football (soccer) match. Authorities say that 74 are confirmed dead and hundreds more have been injured. It’s unclear whether intense sports rivalries or political unrest caused the clashes, which occurred in the city of Port Said.

Many of those who died fell from bleachers inside the stadium. Others were killed in fights and clashes with police. More than a thousand injuries have been reported and the death toll is expected to climb before authorities can restore any semblance of order to the city.

Twitter Now Censoring Tweets In Certain Countries

Twitter just announced changes to their system yesterday that allow them to hide your tweets from viewers in countries with differing interpretations of “freedom of expression”. I don’t even know what to say about this one except, “For fuck’s sake, guys. Really?”

Seriously. The irony. The fucking irony of it all.

Wikileaks announced this week that Julian Assange is preparing to host a TV show. The series will focus on interviews conducted by Assange with “key political players, thinkers and revolutionaries”. It begins airing in March. Expect an initial run of ten half hour episodes.

Gingrich Promises Moon Base

Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich made a hilarious promise during a speech in Florida yesterday: a permanent space station on the moon by the end of his second term.

Honestly, I hope he finds a way to make it happen even after he loses the race – so we can load his dumb ass onto a rocket and send him there to live.

US Navy Seals Kick Ass In Somalia

The same team of US Navy Seals that killed Osama Bin Laden are making headlines again today after successfully rescuing two US aid workers from kidnappers in Somalia.

Jessica Buchanan, 32, and Dane Poul Thisted, 60, are in “good condition” and were put on a flight home last night after the rescue operation. No American forces were injured in the mission. All of the kidnappers were killed.

Considering what these guys have done just in the past twelve months, it’s hard not to think of them as a band of BAMF real life action stars.

Potato Head Dictators

Artist Stephen Ives thought it would be fun to turn some of history’s most notorious dictators into Mr. Potato Head style toys, so that’s exactly what he’s gone and done. Awesome.
