Hewolf puts Shakiwolf to shame!

As you can recall, I HATE that stupid "She-Wolf" song by Shakira, but...this is pretty damn funny.

Move over Obama!

Brazil's Lula da Silva is the world's most popular politician, according to Newsweek.

Enjoying a 70 percent approval rating, Lula is quite bashful about his success.  Since he won't brag, I'll do it for him. Lula rocks. Brazil is the only country not sinking because of the global recession, and is actually experiencing growth.  He's been able to up the minimum wage, and extend education, health care, and other social benefits without sinking the economy because he has done so pragmatically and logically rather than to please the people or advance his career.  Last point, land redistribution for indigenous peoples and affirmative action round out Lula's awesomeness.

Bravo Lula!

Hopefully Kanye will let me finish my blog entry...

...or maybe not! I've been Kanye-ed

Also, check this out--pure HILARITY.

And, since this is also a politics blog, I thought I would share this:

For the blind, it reads: "Thanks Obama, and Imma let you finish, but Canada had the best healthcare of all time!"

Its Tea Time!

Sigh.  Honestly, once was enough guys.  After their "successful" coast-to-coast journey, the teabaggers (synonyms include racists, closeminded people, the uninformed, FOX news viewers, Glenn Beck followers, Klan, and crazies) are at it again and will be at a city near you!

The "Our Country Deserves Better" Committee (I'm not even going to take that shot, its too easy) announced the next tour will begin on October 25 in California, and become a complete clusterf*ck in Florida on November 11. 

Hopefully they won't have to use the Million Man March photo as evidence of success this time.

No more dancing on the border...

President? Zelaya is back in Honduras!...at the Brazilian Embassy to avoid arrest. Hopefully this time he got off the plane, he wasn't in pajamas and a gun wasn't in his face.

Taking it back to the old school Latin American military rule of the past, the current government has imposed a curfew but Zelayistas are partying in front of the Brazilian Embassy celebrating his return.

President? Zelaya is attempting to negotiate with the interim government, so he can take his throne...I mean office anew.  Need I remind him that Costa Rican President, Oscar Arias, (you know the leader of the most peaceful country in the hemisphere) had a pretty solid negotiation that would have restored order and democracy in Honduras, and the interim government refused.  What makes him thinks he can broker something better?  I mean the interim government hates him, something about changing the constitution, et cetra.

Thanks for taking it back to the Cold War, Honduras!

Psycho Killer....

I was relieved to see no "DC" after Washington, in this case.  Why were they taking crazy, literally, CRAZY inmates on field trips to the county fair?! Hope they catch the guy though!

And just to continue the theme, here's a little music until they get him. Yes yes, I'm going to hell. Enjoy!

Is it me, or does this sh*t look photoshopped?

Mexican officials say they caught this man on security surveillance killin' up a metro station (personally I think the image looks a lil suspect).   Police say that Felipe Hernandez Castillo (what an original, one-of-a-kind-name) began shooting up sh*t after they made him stop working on his art, er I mean grafetti-ing walls in the station (because Mexico City is spotless and grafetti-free, *eye roll*) The incident has spawned Mexican officials to up the security in the subway system; by up the security I mean--they sent an additional 1,000 police officers to protect the capital's 175 stations. What makes this all the most suspicious is that Mexican authorities can't even get their story straight, I mean read for yourself. 

Honestly, I think they're just mad that once again, the target included a police officer.  But hey, police officers are killed everyday in drug violence in the country and the bumbling law can't seem to make an arrest there.  This leads me to believe that maybe they're swift with the metro killer because that's the only thing they  and/or aren't afraid to do? Or maybe this guy was too broke to bribe them. Yo, no se.  

However, I've often wondered why there was no security in the DC metro system.  I mean I've seen a ton of crazies wandering the streets, and I'm supposed to go on the honor system that they won't act a damn fool underground.  Me thinks not, and I drive my car.

Umm....this caused me to write a few letters.

Dear Mexico,

You currently have a drug problem that parallels what occurred in Colombia in the 80s and 90s.  Therefore, I think 1,000 police officers would best be used in border and drug towns.  Also, 175 metro stations is ridiculous.  Please condense them, everyone needs a little exercise, especially when the primary diet is beans, rice, and tortilla.  Thus, I think the Health Ministry would agree with me in saying that metro stops every 50 feet is a bit much. Also, the Transportation Ministry would save a ton of money and with that money you could hire private security guards to protect the metro, and use real police to do real work.  Obvio.

Please get your act together.

Love,

Kashia

Dear Mayor Fenty/Department of Homeland Security,

Has no one really, ever thought about DC Metro Security?!  I mean Mexico is getting metro security, and Chile HAS metro security and surveillance.

Are you going to let these countries beat AMERICA?! (say this with the W accent, its more powerful).

Get me some damn security, you know people in the DMV (especially the D and M) are crazy.

Love,

Kashia
