ABC on the cholera outbreak

- Where's Margaret when you need her? Wondering why things happen in the world around us? The contributors to this blog, Hotpants and Hotstuff, have been complaining about and questioning random stuff for years, and they have come together over their love of wanting to know WTF? So, to pick up where Margaret left off, they have created this blog!
the drill
Hotstuff and Hotpants alternate WTF posts (almost) daily and then every weekend we drop our WTFs and "thank god" for something great.

This is terrible. Zimbabwe is also in crisis. Yet, most news outlets would have us believe the most important problem right now is what to purchase for the holidays.
Executions, murder, argh.
Still, the use of rape (against men, women and children) as a weapon is perhaps most disturbing? Crimes against humanity, these are.
The Hague, eat your heart out.
