You’ve probably heard by now how Ms. Shirley Sherrod was rail-roaded out of her position as Director of Rural Development at the U.S. Department of Agriculture by an Obama administration that is gradually abandoning all pretense of working for “change”. In case you have not heard, let’s quickly recap.

I usually do not bother myself with the shallow lifestyles of “celebrities”, but there is something about the Tiger Woods divorce that irks me a little bit. We all know the story by now of how he cheated on his wife ( a very rare occurrence in the U.S.!). We also know about the charade of rehab, remorse and public spanking. What no one has told us is how this all came to be. It is a strong part of the media-driven culture in the U.S. to abandon rational thinking whenever one of these stories break out and focus on the superficial.

By now, we’ve all head or read the story about how North Korea allegedly sank the South Korean patrol boat, the Cheonan. What we do not have so far, is categorical evidence that the North Koreans were involved. What we do know for a fact is that on the night a torpedo-armed North Korean submarine allegedly sank a South Korean patrol ship, the U.S. and South Korea were engaged in joint anti-submarine warfare exercises (an annual U.S.-Korea war games called Key Resolve/Foal Eagle, which are intended to keep forces ready in the event another major war erupts on the Korean Peninsula) just 75 miles away.

It’s becoming really embarrassing and depressing to see our hopes for a different world under U.S. President Barack Obama continually dashed by status quo policies implemented by the administration. The latest comes in the wake of the massacre of innocent concerned citizens who were trying to do what the United States lacked the courage to do: intervene in the 3-year long suffering inflicted on the people of the Gaza Strip by Israeli blockade.

We all think eating fruits means just buying fruits, cutting it and just popping it into our mouths. It’s not as easy as you think. It’s important to know how and when to eat. Read the rest of this entry »

What in the world is going on in Nigeria? It’s been one terrible news after the other. First, I received this really, really gruesome pictures of the utmost display of human brutality. Armed bandits stopped a bus full of travelers on the Lagos- Benin expressway and asked them to give up their money. Those who had money on them gave it up. But the horrible aspect of this story is that the gangsters then asked the passengers who had no money to give to lie down on the road and forced the driver of the bus to drive over these poor innocent passengers who were just trying to get home or their loved ones!

I’ve heard about it for quite some time but always thought it was one of those stories you can never verify. Until I experienced it first hand at a major clinic in Round Rock, TX. Imagine going to a hospital and no matter what ailment brought you to the hospital, you are always required to have “lab work”. Strange. Even more strange is when those lab results always turn up wrong or with bogus results that throws off any reasonable diagnosis. This creates a situation where you are made to do the “lab work” over. But you end up paying twice – co-pay and all. Read the rest of this entry »

This week, it was revealed that retail giant Walmart and H&M took capitalist greed to a new level by slashing and burning what they could not sell. For these pillars of capitalism, instead of taking unsold items to sample sales or donating them to people in need (and there are many, especially in these very tough economic times where one-third of New York City’s population is poor), H&M and Wal-Mart have been throwing them out in giant trash bags. For good measure and to ensure that people who stumble on these bags of unsold items do not try to keep or re-sell them, these companies have gone ahead and slashed up garments, cut off the sleeves of coats, and sliced holes in shoes so they are unwearable. Hundreds of Wal-Mart tagged items with holes made in them have been found dumped: “gloves with the fingers cut off, warm socks, cute patent leather Mary Jane school shoes, maybe for fourth graders, with the instep cut up with a scissor, men’s jackets, slashed across the body and the arms. The puffy fiber fill was coming out in big white cotton balls.”

“We will not succumb to a siege mentality that sacrifices the open society and liberties and values that we cherish as Americans, because great and proud nations don’t hunker down and hide behind walls of suspicion and mistrust. That is exactly what our adversaries want, and so long as I am president, we will never hand them that victory. We will define the character of our country, not some band of small men intent on killing innocent men, women and children” – President Barack Obama
That mindset and mentality is to be applauded. However, the incident that prompted the president to make that statement has to send some chills through the spine of most people all over the world. It is chilling because while many people are breathing a sigh of relief that “no-one was badly hurt”, we seem to totally miss the point that this could easily have turned out in a very ugly way – like American fighter jets raining five thousand ton bombs on Abuja kind of ugly.

For all intent and purpose, it is safe to say that as long as Obama is president, he can rule out any contributions from most of the leadership of the Republican Party. I will actually go further and say it right now, that the Republican Party and its supporters are Fifth Columnist who are willing to engage in espionage or sabotage within our national borders with the intent of undermining the government from within and bringing down the Obama administration. In the course of this “Obama must fail” campaign, the right-wing master puppeteers of the Republican Party are blind to the national security implications of their opposition to anything the current administration wants to do.
