Think your day is going bad? Here's a little perspective to make you feel better.
It was not such a good day for the mega-awesome rebel movement in Libya the other day, when it was confirmed that their top military commander, Gen. Abdel-Fattah Younis, had been killed by a group of his own soldiers. The assassination seems to indicate some discord amongst the rebel alliance. On a brighter note, it did produce one of the best quotes since the crisis began when, after admitting that the general had been murdered and his body dumped...setting off a series of violent skirmishes involving machine guns and rocket propelled grenades...Rebel Governing Council spokesperson Ali Tarhouni was quoted by the Associated Press as saying, "Everything is under control. This is just a rough stage we are going through."
Cool. What's next? "It's not you, it's me. I want to start seeing other people. Now stand over there and face the wall."?

For the record, this is not the Capt.
When people picture you in diapers, it's never a good day. Just ask Lisa Nowak, the former astronaut who was accused way back in 2007 of wearing a diaper while driving non-stop from Houston to Orlando to assault the romantic rival she believed was trying to steal her guy. After dragging out the process for 4 years in the hopes that everyone would just forget, her employer, the U.S. Navy, is finally letting her go. Unfortunately for Capt. Nowak and the Navy, some memories just don't go away.
Which ones?
Depends.

And it looks like a lot of bad days may be coming up for any residents of New York State who don't normally travel around carrying bazookas. According to a Reuters report, New York is experiencing an alarming population explosion of non-native feral swine, otherwise known as wild boars. Hundreds of the aggressive beasts, which can reach weights of up to 400 pounds and have large sharp tusks, are currently roaming the New York countryside, wreaking havoc, killing livestock, attacking pets, chasing people, and settling down to raise charming swine families averaging 4-6 piglets each. (Feral swine are not required to pay taxes and apparently refuse to practice birth control) Some of boars so far captured, have tested positive for rabies. Even better, wild boars have such uniquely thick skulls that often, even when shot point blank, bullets bounce right off of them. A lack of funding by government agencies means that at this time there is only one official person currently assigned to battling the invasion, and he is losing hope. Despite the suspicious funding imbalance, supporters of the animal are quick to point out that no wild boars are currently under investigation or indictment, and that there are no "known" Wild Boar PACs currently registered at either the state or federal level.
