VLADIMIR PUTIN CRIED THIS WEEKEND
He also won an election(via)
Vladimir Putin cried in public this weekend. He also won a presidential election, but everyone knew that was gonna happen anyway. He claimed a resounding 63 percent of the counted votes in the elections, and with exit polls suggesting he took 58 percent overall, Putin will replace Dmitry Medvedev as the country's president in May. Medvedev appeared alongside his successor at a rally in front of the Kremlin. It was there that Putin's waterworks kicked in as he told the crowd: "I promised you we would win. We have won. Glory to Russia." But just like with the preliminary vote in December, independent election monitors are calling bullshit on Putin, presenting evidence of fraud on a wide scale. "Putin has named himself the emperor of Russia for the next 12 years," said anti-Putin protest leader Alexey Navalny. "We announced earlier that we will not recognise these elections. The powers here are illegitimate – this is their only way to remain in power." Officially at least, Putin's opponents took a hammering. The Communist leader Gennady Zyuganov came in second with approximately 17 percent of the vote, while billionaire Mikhail Prokhorov and far-right nationalist candidate Vladimir Zhirinovsky will probably end up taking around eight percent each. The polling booth where Putin and his wife cast their own votes was invaded 15 minutes after they'd left by three women who took their shirts off and started shouting "Putin is a thief". One of them was sentenced to ten days in jail.Religion
A CATHOLIC CARDINAL COMPARES GAY MARRIAGE TO LEGALISING SLAVERY
He has been accused of "scaremongering"
(via)
Keith O'Brien is a Catholic Cardinal, so I have no idea why people are pretending to be shocked that he's against the idea of gay people getting married. I guess the only surprising element of this story is the language O'Brien's used to put across his argument, because he said that if gay marriage is legalised we may somehow end up legalising slavery, too. It's a pretty confusing logic perhaps best summed up by whoever does that Drunk George Osborne Twitter:
Cardinal O'Brien went on to accuse David Cameron – who's personally pledged to bring about the change in UK law – of trying to "redefine reality".
"Other dangers exist," O'Brien wrote in his column for the Sunday Telegraph."If marriage can be redefined so that it no longer means a man and a woman but two men or two women, why stop there? Why not allow three men or a woman and two men to constitute a marriage, if they pledge their fidelity to one another?"Nature
THE HUMAN RACE REMOVED BRITAIN'S LARGEST EVER FOX FROM EXISTENCE

Britain's biggest ever fox was shot and killed by a farmer who was almost the same size as it this weekend. Alan Hepworth lives in Aberdeenshire and he was fucking sick and tired of this damn fox killing his lambs. So he blasted it to death. It was nearly five feet long and weighed almost three stone.International
