Emo-Agricola International Edition

Did You Know: The California Aggie's original name? ...take a second to realize you have no idea or make a guess which will be wrong -- it was "The Weekly Agricola." Yeah I don't know what that is either, but I think it would make a better mascot than an "Aggie." (credit Daviswiki creator [livejournal.com profile] codetoad for discovering this during the extensive investigative journalism only Daviswiki provides)

News Fact of the Day: Today the Bolivian Congress REJECTED the resignation of Bolivian President Carlos Mesa. Normally people are fighting to become the President, not to leave the post (Mesa became president after being vice president to the previous president, who resigned).

   Also in the news, official Chechen resistence leader Aslan Maskadov has been killed "as a result of the interchange of gunfire with federal forces." Apparently FSB (successor to the KGB) troops raided the village he was in and intended to capture him alive but he was killed by one of his bodyguards (possibly accidently). While more moderate than other seperatist leaders, Maskadov still claimed presidency of the "Chechen Republic of Itchkeria," which laid claim to the entirety of the Russian territory of Chechnya. This reported here because Chechnya is my favourite topic.

Question of the Day: What do you call someone who would be a felon if they only got caught? A closet felon?
