Emperor Darth Misha I has an intriguing rant about the state of World Hunger over at the Anti-Idiotarian Emipre. For those who need soemthing to make them click the link here you go :

...one of which, at least if you're a Barking Moonbat writing shoddy copy for a "newspaper", is to dig out stories about how we should all feel bad while carving the turkey or whatnot for all of the poooooor people in the world. After all, it's our fault and our fault alone that they're starving. If only we'd FedEx aforementioned turkey to them, all the trouble in the world would be gone.

More likely, the sudden arrival of some 20 odd million rancid turkeys would be classified as "biological warfare" by the Useless Nitwits, but then we'd only have more to feel bad about.

But we digress... LC Stavka was kind enough to point us towards one of the annual tear jerkers, the which we read while drinking vodka and shoveling Beluga caviar down the old hole.

The number of starving in the world has increased by nearly 20 million since the mid 1990s.

Imagine our surprise.

Of course, the article fails to mention that, in the very same period, the population of the planet has gone up by about 800 million, most of whom weren't born in affluent countries.

Now, it may be surprising to some that 2.5% of these would happen to be less than adequately fed, but outside of Special Ed classes it should come as no big revelation.

There is an old saying that goes: "If you and your missus can barely scrape by on what you've got, having 16 kids ain't exactly a brilliant idea."

There's even a corollary going something like this: "If you choose to ignore this advice, TOUGH FUCKING SHIT!"

Misha makes me chuckle... Full story here.
