Here's a short primer for people who don't know about the war in Yemen, there's 2 (main) sides, both alike in indignity.

The Houthis who actually run the country and have done for 2 years, backed by Iran (they fuckin blow btw).

The Yemen Arab Republic's theoretical government which is basically just Aden, whose legitimate leader won 98.9% of the vote in an uncontested election, meaning he must be popular, supported by the Saudis/US (obviously blow also).

There's like al qaeda and stuff there too and I'm sure ISIS has a few guys but those 2 are the important ones (plus the civilians obviously).

important to note that US + Saudi forces have killed an enormous number of civilians in bombings and basically declared anyone inside the borders of Yemen a terrorist (except the Saudi puppet government obviously)

link on the side talking about MSNB making CNN eat ratings poo poo or something

http://thehill.com/homenews/media/322003-msnbc-president-ratings-on-rise-because-we-give-smartest-coverage-out-there

quote:

Across all of basic cable, the network is fourth in total primetime viewers, behind only Fox News, Nickelodeon and HGTV, its best ranking in the network's 20-year history.
Of all of MSNBC's ratings increases, the rise of Rachel Maddow's in primetime has been most notable, as the 43-year-old Oxford Rhodes Scholar has enjoyed her highest ratings since 2008 for her 9 p.m. ET program "The Rachel Maddow Show."

"Nobody works harder than Rachel," Griffin said. "Rachel is a student. She is just a different kind of communicator. She weeds a story every day in that first 20 minutes of the show that connects dots, pulls things together, pulls historical references that really is just an amazing piece of work.

"And you come out of it, smarter. It's as simple as that."

In terms of total audience, Maddow has dominated her timeslot when matched up with CNN, beating its cable news rival 45 consecutive months.

did you honestly think the president was elected...? no, the president is the puppet of the changing god, the ever-shifting entity that is constantly running. who's the changing god? that's...hard to say. an early pagan shaman that stumbled upon a galactic secret behind their ken? an alien consciousness on the run for millenia? who knows. the only people close enough to ask are the ones that are the meat shells infested by the entity in its ever shifting agendas and goals. nobody is entirely clear on what the god wants. every time we think we get close, and we can see where it's going...it changes its shell and goes the other way, undoing its own work and foiling its own schemes.

one thing we are certain of, though - whatever the god is running from, it's catching up. the god is becoming more desperate, more panicked, more unhinged. those of us who have lived a while look back at the days of franklin delano with a quiet, dark nostalgia. whether the god's new puppets are consumed by their obsessions, their cowardice, or their own egos, they're all utterly destroyed by their own doings now, in their own times.

in one way, it's made our jobs easier. there are no more urgent meetings in the middle of the night with some new scrap of information, no 11th hour raids into the sprawls to foil one of the god's designs. in that way, it's a relief.

but in reality, the stakes have never been higher. the changing god has been leading human development, in one way or another, for the entire history of our civilization. we've got paintings of the sterile, shredded realms of the god's failed plans from his abandoned lives, and stories of endless graveyards of heroes, their dusty and grimy headstones spewing mental impressions of their occupants' deaths. look at the orange baboon in the white house. the god is crumbling before our eyes. and there's no way out but down.
