    This picture just blew my mind. Its a shot of a sink hole that opened up in the middle of a Guatemalan city after a week of heavy rains and landslides.

    I know! Been looking at any possible reason as to why so much just opened up.Seems to be rainfall or just some weak fractures which just happened to be above an underground cavern.Id say the best and only possible explanation is this.

    An update on the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. It's now regarded as THE worst environmental disaster in US history, surpassing the Exxon Valdez oil spill in 1989.

    They're on their way with the next plan. The new plan is well explained by the graphic in the middle of this page: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/world/10230252.stm

    http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/04/us/04spill.html?partner=rss&emc=rss

    If this fails, they're quite seriously fúcked.

    For regular, unbiased, objective and not at all satirical updates I'd recommend IsraelGlobalPR on twitter.

    Such enlightening bits of news such as:
    Israel wishes to thank Ireland and the Freedom Flotilla for the continued supply of construction materials for Israeli settlements
    Israel has seized CCTV footage from the flotilla: http://bit.ly/deWQpl The rest of the tape was uninteresting and has been disposed of.
    and
    Sneak preview of our impartial investigation: "Israel's response was proportionate and justified"
