Our newspapers (and their online equivalents) are filled to the brim with stories about the unrest in the Middle East. Today's papers brought us the horrific news that the riots were spreading to Saudi Arabia. Libya has been under UN economic sanctions that are just started to hit home, with many major American oil companies supposedly cancelling their trade deals with that broken nation. If the riots in Saudi Arabia spread, we could witness a global shortage of oil (being that they are one of the largest oil producing nations in the world).
Oil problems aside, the Democrats from Wisconsin have finally agreed to end their childish ways and return to the state. This will allow the state legislature to pass a bill that will harm the unions. It made me incredibly frustrated that the people of Wisconsin would elect men (and women?) who think so little of democracy that they believe the world should revolve around their ways.
As this is the first Monday night current event (that will post as Tuesday...Awesome, right?), I think I'm going to end it now. I'm not really sure how long I want these to be, so it will have to be trial and error.
