Ego-tripping For Poverty

- is one thing Bob Geldof has done for Africa and the world's poor. The amazing power of the media to simultaneously bear the duality of strategic instrument and vain distraction.

Also - Bolton is a fucking joke. His 750-odd amendments to the draft document to be signed at the upcoming Summit basically eliminate the key provisions of the MDGs. I actually recall reading somewhere that Bolton was quoted saying something along the lines of, the MDGs are irrelevant. Dude, you are irrelevant. If the Congress and a big chunk of the American public are anything to go by.

Kofi Annan has called for the document to be salvaged.

I am so angry.

    haha, that "I am so angry" reminds me of some show where a supporting character said that same line because she had a botox done to her face and she cannot express her emotions.

    We all know the Americans are..well..just being Americans...so don't get too worked up bah.

    i feel for the american citizens whose national pride is defiled by one so-called leader who is unitarily a travesty to the values and battles that built the greatness that embodied the country to begin with.

    and, botox? dude, you're like, totally off on a tangent, man.. lol.
