The world seems to have gotten rather crazy lately, so here's a brief rundown.

Protesters have taken to the streets of Wisconsin to protest the Governor's anti-union proposals, which would strip state employees of collective bargaining rights. I'll be the first to admit that I don't get exactly what that means. I mean...I know what collective bargaining is, but the whole concept of unions is one that is lost on me. At any rate, people are pretty upset about losing their rights. Democratic senators have left the state to keep from voting on the Governor's proposals. Kind of makes me wish that I had paid more attention during political science.

Let's move to the other side of the world. Libya to be more precise. Inspired by other pro-democracy movements in the Arab world, Libya began its own protests against the dictator who has ruled the country for forty-two years. The man is eccentric. Corruption is everywhere. Fighting rages. We'll see how the U.S. gets involved as things continue.

Lastly, Charlie Sheen has flipped his lid. His TV show was canceled, he has been giving interviews left and right, and has been captured saying things like, "high priest Vatican assassin warlock." The man has entered pop culture lore.

In my own life, the most interesting things to happen this week are:

1) We flipped our living room. Everything is backwards from how it used to be.
2) I started working on writing biographies with my uncle for Haggai Institute.
3) Ava has now started referring to herself as "AA." Love it.
