Highlights of Obama's Speech in Germany, 200,000 people attended:

"I come to Berlin as so many of my countrymen have come before. Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen – a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.

I know that I don’t look like the Americans who’ve previously spoken in this great city. The journey that led me here is improbable. My mother was born in the heartland of America, but my father grew up herding goats in Kenya. His father – my grandfather – was a cook, a domestic servant to the British.

I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.

People of the world – look at Berlin, where a wall came down, a continent came together, and history proved that there is no challenge too great for a world that stands as one ."

No American President since John F. Kennedy has charmed Europe and the world until a brilliant young first term senator surfaced in the limelight as the likely next President of the United States of America. The young generation embraced him in a rockstar adulation and the old establishment watches cautiously, jealously but nonetheless quietly admire and respect the undoubted intellect, eloquence and charisma, that was lacking in the seemingly forever idiotic caricature of the Bush's years.

Ironically, while Europe already voted for Obama as their choice for the next U.S President,
MaCain has actually been slowly catching up in the polls.

Obama maybe the citizen of the world and the rest of the world will embrace him, but the most difficult task of all is to convince the Afro Americans, that he share their hopes and values as he is not the typical American Negro, and the white Americans, that he is truly an American citizen in unfortunately still a - John Wayne America!

The Beijing Olympic Games is the most expensive Olympic Game so far.
The Chinese government is investing billions of dollars to promote Beijing as a world class city to lure the Western investors to pour on their investments here. The extreme makeover into a Western city with it's showcase from modern, sprawling airports,Olympic Stadiums and Arenas are an architectural feast for the eyes.

But the fast paced change is not limited to infrastructure
but Beijing is also cleaning it's old cultural habits. Beggars, masseuses, fortune tellers were all instructed to vanish from the sight during the duration of the Games. Smoking sections in restaurants will also be disallowed.

More importantly all restaurants were ordered to remove dog meat in their menus!

woof-woof!!!

The latest incident involving Jesse Jackson remarks about Obama, caught with the mic live prior to a TV interview, that Obama talks down to black people and that "he's gonna cut his nuts off!"

When the incident caught live spread across the wires, he apologizes and explains:

He wanted to castrate Obama's scrotum that's what he said and that's exactly what he meant and anything said thereafter is plain bullshit!

Jesse Jackson has been on the limelight of American politics but most Americans are now questioning if he really stood for the good of the black people or he actually used them to promote his own credibility.

He was no Martin Luther King, and his actual contribution to the black community is nil, if there is he further enflamed the racial divide in America.

Barack Obama spoke the truth about the social problems amongst the black community in America and dare them to change attitudes, pursue education, drive to excellence no matter the colour of their skin - as he did!

The black power fist raising militant days of Black Panther and Jesse Jackson is over. The new message of hope and change is the way to improve the conditions of Afro-Americans.

The Jackson's comment live:

Jesse Jackson and his likes self annointed irreverends for the Afro-Americans but actually
feed through them should acknowledge, their time is gone and must simply fade away and should...

SHUT THE FUCK UP!

..or perhaps what he really meant was to give Obama's nuts a brazilian?

How will history write George W. Bush?

Bad or good, he sure was a President like no other!

...PLAYERS!!

I know an Italian girl who was routing for Portugal in the last EuroCup, she showed me why!

... and they say we are bad!!

i like to watch women's beach volleyball too, it is such an exciting sport of extreme precision, agility and talent!

WTF?

If Obama was an Ayatollah, the cartoonist will have a million$tag for his head,
If he were a Muslim leader, the cartoonist head will be slashed live on A'l Jazeera,
If he were a Chinese leader, the cartoonist will be a target practice in the firing squad tomorrow!

Is this abuse of freedom?

We were planning to have an outdoor party today, barbecue, swim at the pool, dancing and drinking then I looked outside and as if there is an eclipse at 9:00am, dark and it is gonna pour hard, it will be a pissy day! F%%%!!!!

Looks like we're gonna be dancing under ella-ella-e-e!!!!!!!!

i think i'm gonna move to some sunny island and just feed on sardines, bananas and rihanna!

Beauty of Mathematics !!!!!!!

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98

111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321

Now, take a look at this...

101%

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint:

What Equals 100%?
What does it mean to give MORE than 100%?

Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%?

We have all been in situations where someone wants you to
GIVE OVER 100%.

How about ACHIEVING 101%?

What equals 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help
answer these questions:

If:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

If:

H-A-R-D-W-O- R- K

8+1+18+4+23+ 15+18+11 = 98%

And:

K-N-O-W-L-E- D-G-E

11+14+15+23+ 12+5+4+7+ 5 = 96%

But:

A-T-T-I-T-U- D-E

1+20+20+9+20+ 21+4+5 = 100%

THEN, look how far the love of God will take you:

L-O-V-E-O-F- G-O-D

12+15+22+5+15+ 6+7+15+4 = 101%

Therefore, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that:

While Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will
get you there, It's the Love of God that will put you over the top!

Have a nice day & God bless!!

he came out of the bathroom, just wrapped in a towel,

As he walked slowly towards her while her eyes transfixed from the waist down,

The towel slipped down the floor!

She suddenly pulled the sheet up to her neck, as she exclaimed:

Ringo's CHICAGO'S Sidewalk Birthday Bash!

On his 68th Birthday, England gave Ringo the most awful gift of non recognition and declares Ringo a "nobody", by denying to grant his birth home, 9 Madryn Street, Toxteth, Liverpool 8, a heritage status, although granting one to Pete Best, the first Beatle's drummer.

Whether or not Ringo professes he has no connection with Liverpool, who now lives between Monaco and L.A., the Ringo haters cannot rewrite history.

"The Beatles will always be John, Paul, George and Ringo. The Beatles sound wouldn't have been the same to a bit of a different drum."

Ringo is not the best drummer in the world but was a unifying force of the Beatles. After their last concert in the late 60's, it could've been the early end of the group that changed the world of music forever. The ever deepening strangeness of John Lennon since Yoko has split the relationship with Macartney, George has distanced himself away and pursued his own mystical music brand - Ringo never parted. A difficult recording reunion was established in the early 70's, John, Paul and George, three geniuses in a tense session, with 3 leaders, instead of just John and Paul in the past, Ringo cemented it and they have produced the most important album in Rock Music, titled the White Album.

With England's slap in the face to Ringo, this is his tribute to Liverpool:

Happy Birthday Ringo!

Here's bit of mem'ries!

20 million dollar in the hole, after an unsucessful campaign, Hillary has been acting real funny lately and maybe competing against Linsay, Britney and Paris.

".. i see double shots ??"

"..12th tequila?"

"..fak yo obama, and o' yaw muslim ancestors!!"

At the same time, a tell all book by Clinton of her true love for the Jewish intern does not help the situation either.

"My Life Sucks, The White House Final Years">

And as most past Presidents are honoured with some kind of a memorial, and the two final artist's impressions to commemorate the Clinton legacy are:

All these have also affected Chelsea, who just lately was summoned to advisory counsel's office as she bit a classmate on the neck as a psychological dracula like transition has been suspected of her and Hillary - a sort of post traumatic thirst for blood revenge syndrome!

"..i want yaw blood!"

President Clinton remains one of the most popular Presidents in America.*

The U.S. was about to make history in Hilary Clinton as the first woman President, it will likewise make history in Barack Obama as the first black American President.

Three years ago, Canada has appointed a Governor General, constitutionally the highest post in
the country, as the Queen's representative she alone has the power to dissolve the entire parliament and approves a new election and entitles the members of Parliament including the Prime Minister. The name is Michaelle Jean, she is black and a woman. Below are some photos of
Canada's regal Governor General.

"Watch it Nicolas... Carla is peeking.."

"...you can export all your seal skins over here Michaelle!"

"the beauty and the beast!"

"fashion lady"

Below is a photo of the beautiful governor when she was 30 something, she is now still a lovely 48 years old.

"..michelle ma belle..sont les mots qui vont.."

Here's bits of historical background:
Michaëlle Jean, CC CMM COM CD [mi.ka.ɛl ʒɑ̃], (born September 6, 1957, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti) is the current Governor General of Canada. Jean was appointed by Queen Elizabeth II, on the recommendation of Prime Minister Paul Martin, to succeed Adrienne Clarkson and become the 27th governor general of Canada since Confederation in 1867. Prior to this, Jean was a journalist and broadcaster on Radio-Canada and the CBC.

As the current Governor General of Canada, she is entitled to be styled Her Excellency while in office, and The Right Honourable for life; given current practice, she will be sworn to the Queen's Privy Council for Canada after her term as the Queen's representative has ended.

An official announcement about the appointment was made on August 4, 2005. Her investiture took place on September 27.
