Are they really Saving the Children?

This picture and others like these is why I went into International Relations. I wanted to help people and I still do.
That's why I get angry when I read articles like the UN briefing today where the NGO "Save the Children" calls Niger the "Worst place for Mothers."...Really??
Really "Save the Children?" The worst place for Mothers? You couldnt find a better term. After all this is diplomacy. I'm sure diplomats and all IR professionals know how to play with words. Couldn't they have launched a larger campaign instead of the one I've seen since I was 16 about Jose who doesn't have shoes (c'mon you know you've seen that too).

I remember my senior year of college learning about the drought Niger had, the ant invasion that came after, and the massive deaths of babies that came later. All pictures too graphic to post. I understand the mal nutrition, poverty levels, and low employment that Save the Children used to justify  their label of Niger. However, I do not understand how using a negative label will change the situation. Such labels dispel support and create a hopeless image of an otherwise promising country.
So "Save the Children" think of your organization's name next time you issue international campaigns.Think of who you're hurting, rather than helping.

SAY IT ISN'T SOOOO!!!

OHHHHHH....S*IT, sugardumplings Sugar Honey Iced Tea (you know what I'm trying to say. The thing is, everyone saw this coming but me. Ever the optimist, I never thought this would happen. Sarkozy is no longer the President of France?? Say it isn't so!!

Well this is how it went down
Zee run down:
(hush toned voice): So this is how it went down. A runoff election happened in France giving Francois Hollande (a socialist party member) 52% of the vote and Sarkozy 48%. Sarkozy;close to tears then issued a statement saying Holland is the President and "Should be respected" [insert an "mmmmhmmm" here"]
Now that you've been brought up to speed let's look at the implications. Remember not so long ago when Greece and Italy were having debt woes? Sarkoy (France) and Merkel(Germany) were negotiating deals. What is Hollande going to do about all of these deals? EXACTLY....you know he's scrappin' it. He said he's going to re-negotiate the Eurozone debt crisis, which means Greece and Italy better get their acts together, because as Will-I-Am said in his video "It's A New Dayyyy."

I'm holdin on tight, and I hope you are too, because this is gonna be quite a ride.

She said "I got sumthin for yo' a**"

So "What do you do when your boyfriend breaks up with you?" Tow his car? Maybe key his car? Well as these sound like extreme measures they're still more common than what I heard today. In London, UK a man decided to break up with his girlfriend who (by the way) happens to be a dentist. If that sounds like he's stupid you haven't heard anything yet which says to me that he deserved what ended up happening to him in the first place. This fool scheduled an appointment with the said "dentist/girlfriend" and what did she do????? She extracted all 32 of his teeth....
Now THAT'S FUNNY...but you still haven't heard it all. The gentleman's new girlfriend broke up with him because she just couldn't bear having a bf with no teeth....awww, how pragmatic. Obie Trice said it best: In his "Gotta have Teeth!" video. It sucks to be him.

Zee run down: So the man 45 scheduled an appointment with his 32 year old ex girlfriend saying "I thought she was a professional." However the girlfriend was thinking "What a bastard." He said he knew something was wrong when he " woke up and couldn't feel any teeth in his mouth."

You know, this is why some guys dont like to be with us young girls. I mean I'm not in to that sort of thing but do you know how bad she's made it for girls around the world seeking sugar daddys? Geesh...she done messed up the game.. Anyway, she's in jail for three years and he's saving money for dental work mmmhmmm.

Trayvon Martin March for Justice

Here we go...

How pathetically ironic can Zimmerman get. I mean really????? really. I'm all for defending yourself even when you're backed up against the wall but.......really? Zimmerman still claims #Trayvon Martin chased him (not vice versa). However there's a tape where Police dispatchers are telling him NOT to pursue Martin.

By the way that tape reminds me of someone trying to fight a bully with no back up...you look like a fool. Zimmerman not only looks like a fool, but he looks guilty. He has a lawyer who I'll bet you my entire student loan debt is writing a book about this case as we speak. Let's face it Zimmerman is going to jail as he should. However, I guess it wouldn't be entertaining if we don't add the right amount of suspense and drama.

Let's watch, shall we...

RIP #TrayvonMartin

We shut City Hall DOWN

Oh my my my....The events that have happened today have been long awaited. Trayvon Martin's murderer Zimmerman has been charged with 2nd Degree murder and is currently being held without bail after turning himself into authorities earlier today.
Well it's about time...Isn't it? Zimmerman used the "Stand your Ground" Law; allowing one to shoot and (possibly) kill another person on the basis of "feeling threatened.", as his defense to kill Martin. Trayvon Martin was walking to his home holding candy and an ice tea. All we asked for was for his killer, Zimmerman to be brought to justice.

Desolved:
February 28th-Trayvon Martin 17 shot
March 13th Police chief says Zimmerman won't be charged
March 15th-Police release 911 tapes
March 19th investigation lauched
March 22nd-police chief "steps aside"
March 23-Obama announces "If I had a son he'd look like Trayvon"
March 28-29 Zimmerman's father and brother appear on Television
April 11th-Zimmerman turns himself in and charged

We have signed petitions, we have stood in the cold and NOW justice is done. Though we had leaders on our side recognition must be established. Young people like myself, or even younger than me are responsible for not letting this case be ignored.
VICTORY IS OURS!! VICTORY IS OURS!! Martin your death is NOT in vain.
