They actually are angry about the lyrics, saying it's American South (because of description, the war thing, etc). The image is nasty especially with a Southern lense, yeah. But the lyrics?

American Embassy workers in China are returning with similar injuries to those suffered by staff at the US Cuban Embassy.

This is happening far too often to be an isolated incident, it seems someone really is testing some type of sonic weapon that causes symptoms similar to low level concussions. Why the hell are they targeting Embassy staff though? Unless its an actual effort to harm them and perhaps send a message, since so far it seems only US embassies have been targeted.

*Correction: Canadian Embassy in Havana was also targeted and 10 Canadian Embassy workers had to return after showing signs of the same type of attack.

NASA announce the first find of organic molecules in the top soil of the planet Mars, and also presence of methane varying with the seasons in the atmosphere of the red planet. these two findings are fairly strong hints that primitive life may once have existed or could even still exist over there. The soil, or gravel, where the carbon molecules were found is three billion years old but organic molecules are the building blocks of life. And methane is thought to ges depleted and broken down quickly in any planetary atmosphere if it's not replenished by living biological organisms.  :D

I found this quite an interesting article. It's one person's perspective and all, but it also has some good insights:

This is bigger than the Royal Wedding here!  :o

Amusing side note, here in the US the normally Trump-friendly Fox and Friends accidently called the summit "A Meeting of Two Dictators". lol.

Gang violence in schools seems on the rise. For all of trumps failings and ineptitude, he is right that MS13 and many other gangs like it are a real danger.

It's almost like openly applauding xenophobia and anti-immigrant attitudes has a trickle-down effect into the people being discriminated against or something...

And in turn makes them afraid to go to the police, and seek proper aid, allowing Gangs and other criminal elements to increase in power and influence over others.

I think my point was more that he is warning about a problem he actively made worse.

Interesting mix of French and Korean cuisine - I wonder what wines they'll be having? :)
