The witch is on FIRE

In what only sounds like a reapparance of the Salem Witch trials,  A 60 year old woman in Nepal who was accused of being a witch has been punished. She was stripped naked, beaten, her head was shaved and she was made to eat extrement(or feces....or whatever you're calling it this week).

Apparently a 40 year old woman tried it last year and was burned alive.

Witch Which punishment is worse exactly? I guess she's still alive so there's still hope right??

Yay! I think

In the latest edition of "really though?" The ban has been lifted and women can now transport themselves around town in Saudi. Except they still can't drive. And technically can't even use out for transportation. Entertainment only. Alternative transport?  biking. AND they'd have to wear full covering and be accompanied by a man...all while riding a bike. Here I was still trying to figure out how to bike with my suitcase on it.

Meanwhile: America makes history.

As you are reading this many of your friends are probably changing their facebook profile pictures and /or protesting at the US Supreme Court. Its a historic day as today will determine the fate of Prop 8. A measure which only allows marriage between a man and woman in California.

Note:signs of our times. The second picture shows a news ticker about today's historic events on LOGOtv; a channel for the LGBT lifestyle.

Hopefully the American justice system will recognize human rights and be on the right side of history.

Rest in Peace Chinua Achebe

An hour ago literary giant Chinua Achebe passed away in a hospital in Boston, Massachusetts where he was suffering from an undisclosed illness.  The Nigerian native was 82.
Many of us have read his books like things fall apart and man of the people. His works live on as his legacy . May he rest in peace.

Obama is Bold and Driven in Jerusalem

Israel is the most powerful country in the region and it is supported by the most powerful country in the world.

Obama speaks of America's support for Israel in a visit to Jerusalem speaking to young Israelis.

"So long as there is the USA you are not alone."

Heckled more than once Obama laughed off the critics saying "I feel right at home." This was a very bold and nonetheless historic speech. Obama has also visited Palestine and enforced his support stating "Palestine deserves their own state" restating that Palestinians

"Treatment of Palestine is not fair...Must be recognized."

However, this courageous speech has shown that USA as has done in the past still stands behind Israel. Obama's speech to the youth has been described by Foreign Affairs professionals as "going over the heads of Israeli leaders" whom in the past he's called cowards, in an effort to fastforward change and peace in the region. Updates to come.
