HE DID WHAT???!!!

Okay, as Africans say, "It has happened it has happened." Earlier tonight in the luxurious Sofitel Hotel in New York the head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) was arrested for sexual assault. So this is how it happened, a hotel maid was called to his room and when she arrived Mr. Strauss-Kahn was stark naked and tried to "force himself on her." When she was able to escape Mr. Strauss-Kahn made a run for it LEAVING HIS CELL PHONE IN THE HOTEL!!! He was going to run back to France on the soonest Air France plane when the authorities were able to catch up with him JUST BEFORE the plane doors closed.
mm mm mm isn't that exciting? I mean just imagine all the years that he's been doing this and getting away with it? kudos to the maid who stood up to him. However, doesn't it make you wonder? I've seen Mr. Strauss-Kahn before. He's a bit on the heavy side. How did she escape? Did she kick him and run? Did she hit him with a broom or the hotel cell phone? When he ran away did he run in his bathrobe and change at a nearby Brooks Brothers? Was he wearing a navy blue blazer and khakis or was he wearing a suit? You know it would have been much more disgraceful if he was wearing a suit right???
Well we won't know the answers for long, because Mr. Strauss-Kahn is NOT I repeat NOT cooperating with police. This is only the beginning. My eyes are glued to the television and I WILL keep you updated. Why?? Because no sexual abuser deserves secrecy. (finger snap).

Morganza Spillway Opened

Bonjour Monsieur Martelly!!

The man who looks like he's losing his balance is the new Haitian President, Michel Martelly. Martelly is a 50 year old former pop star known as 'Sweet Micky'. Martelly, who promised that he'd build new houses in the Hatian capitol did not exchange words with Preval during the swearing in ceremony which (by the way) took place during a power outage which means if you're in Haiti you probably didn't watch this from home. This election marks a step forward for the Haitian nation which has postponed this election many times. I'm proud of them and of course, I'll be watching to see if Mr. Martelly will follow through on his promises.

Children of the corn.

So corn is something that you and I may eat every now and then. If you're in the East Coast USA like me then you're going to be enjoying corn as summer is almost here and the grocery stores are pretty much forcing corn down your throat...sometimes literally. However, if you're in North Korea, you're probably not reading this and you're probably starving. Why? Because in North Korea, the only thing they've been eating lately is corn...that they grew.
However, now the corn is gone and the only corn available is the corn that's being grown which means there's no corn...or food for that matter. Why? reasons were given like the climate, the amount of corn, but no one said anything about the country's leader being a delusional moron. I mean really, what's the first thing in your International Economics class that you learn? Country's trade, not because they want to, but because they have to. If the only thing your raggedy country has is corn, then you might want to trade other livestock so that you can make money off of your corn and your people can have options(time for a knowledge sigh. say it with me: "ahhhhhh i see"). In this case, North Korea has an absolute advantage when it comes to corn allowing it to export to countries who do not have as much capitol.....anyway before I get too cerebral. We just have to see what happens in the vacuum we all know as North Korea. Currently the World Food Program is deliberating possibly offering food...Not like he'll turn it down...right???

Say it isn't So!!!

In the gulf region of the United States for the past two weeks there have been flood waters that have been devastating towns, washing homes away and in some towns covering the towns with 18 feet of water. The problem now? Flood waters have not stopped. In fact, its coming to New Orleans, Louisiana. We can only hope that this time the waters will hold up. many of us remember that just 6 years ago, New Orleans suffered the most horrendous storm that ever hit it as hurricane Katrina ravaged the city; obliterating the population, destroying stately mansions, and freeing some of the most dangerous prisoners known to man. If you haven't seen Spike Lee's film, "When The Levees Broke," watch it trust me you'll never forget it and you'll understand why I and the rest of the country are praying for New Orleans as they brace for this notorious storm.

Shaken land in Spain
