You thought 2014 was going to be better than 2013? Silly you ...
One person was killed and 13 others injured when a bulldozer at a construction site in Germany dug up an unexploded bomb left over from World War II; according to the United Nations, at least two children have been beheaded and thousands more recruited as soldiers in the ongoing war in the Central African Republic; according to a report in a Chinese newspaper, the disgraced uncle of North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un was not shot as earlier reported, but tossed naked into a cage to be eaten by dogs; an editorial in the New York Times has advocated clemency for self-absorbed windbag and despicable traitor Edward Snowdon*; and the parents of a three-year-old girl in Hawaii are suing the dentist they claim reduced their daughter to a vegetative state by using incorrect doses of improper medications.
It's a good thing there's no shortage of cartoons ... heaven knows we need them.
