In the ring with Granny.

The woman above is Gladys Tsenene. With a name like Gladys, you'd never expect that at 70, she'd be a female boxing promoter. Yup! you read that correctly, Tsenene is a boxing promoter/coach in Eastern Cape, South Africa. From miles away you can hear her shouting "left hook!" and "upper cut!" to the boxers in her gym. She can also be seen scouring local gyms for new talent. Tsenene owns Rainbow Boxing Promotions and represents around 30 18-26year old boxers. I'm sure that, despite her age, her profession keeps her young at heart.
Keep it up Granny!!! Hey we've all known better than to mess with Grandma. This is just another reason why.

The Noble Nobel Winner.

You are looking atDr. Wangari Maathai. The Kenyan Noble Peace Prize winner. She won the Nobel Prize for paying poor women in Kenya small amounts of money to reforest Kenya. It is sad to say that Dr. Maathai passed away after a bout with Ovarian cancer. She was 71. May she rest in peace.

Karma is a .....(fill in the blank).

Wikileaks founder whom you probably know from this article AND from probably pissing off just about EVERY world leader is angry that his memoir is being (wait for it) LEAKED!! Assange says he wasn't ready to release the book and had stopped his work with the ghost writer...He says he's disputing descriptions about him in this book.
This only makes the stars shine even brighter knowing that the world has balanced good against evil. You know what they say: Karma is a ......

Praying For Justice

Troy Davis, a Georgia man-who was convicted of Murdering a police officer in 1989, was set to be executed at 7pm on 09/21/2011. This will be the fourth execution date for Troy Davis. The evidence against him was not strong enough for him to be executed.This leaves the question as to why he's still on death row. Many societies like ACLU, and NAAC as well as celebrities like Diddy and activist, Russell Simmons have come out on Davis's behalf. Down to the last minute, his lawyers have reached out to the Supreme Court. With 9 justices on the bench, only 5 are needed to stay an execution. It is now 9:11pm EST and the Supreme Court has yet to reach a decision. We are all keeping the faith to free Troy Davis. The picture above says it all.

The big bust

You are looking at a picture of cocaine. All of the orange you see are capsules of cocaine. 72 capsules of cocaine were expelled from the stomach of a 20 year old Irish man who tried to transport the drugs into Brazil.
