Do South Africans care who gets elected President of the United States Tuesday, November 04 2008?

I believe that Barack Obama is an outstanding presidential candidate. Americans should feel privileged that they have the opportunity to vote for such a fine man.
John McCain may make a good president too, but I feel he made a poor choice of running mate, Sarah Palin, who has publicly expressed the fact that she doesn’t even know what the office of the Vice President does.
People all over America are wondering how this woman has got as far as she has in politics, with her ignorance and naivete. This might go over well in Alaska (Palin is currently the governor of Alaska), but it’s not going to fly in California, New York, Boston etc. where people have more sophisticated demands of their political leaders.
Sarah Palin has yet to express herself coherently. At rallies where she accuses Obama of being sympathetic to terrorists, her supporters yell out that Obama is a nigger, without her pausing to denounce such an outburst.
If she were an honourable woman, she would stop right there in mid speech and tell the person that they don’t get to call Obama a nigger and if that costs her their vote, she’s happier without it. She should probably say that if anyone thinks that Obama is a nigger, they should please not vote for her, better yet, they shouldn’t vote at all because America needs to rid itself of racism, period.

Madonna remains one of my all time favourite pop artists. This single, “Give it 2 me” is a track off her Hard Candy album, released on April 25 2008. Hard Candy is the last album Madonna released via Warner Bros. She is now signed on with a new record company, Live Nation.

Driving Miss Daisy

The obvious thing to do when you’re hopelessly drunk and can’t risk driving is to ask your 9 year old daughter to drive you home, right? Right?
Well this was the best idea that occurred to a hopelessly inebriated Ontario woman earlier this month. Please my fellow South Africans, do not emigrate to Canada (or anywhere really).
