February 18th, 2005 Corporate America taking over your rights
Today corporate America had a victory again as a limit on malpractice law suits is signed. Are we all sleeping and letting our own rights slip way and fall into at the mercy of Corporate America. Who is representing the hard working, over worked, Americans? What are the people we voted into office doing to protect our rights?

February 15th, 2005 Priest Paul Shanley defrocked
When will the Church get it. The Church expects the priests to wear frocks and then expect them to be straight and bearers of high morals ...hmmmm think about what is wrong with the picture. Now that he is defrocked guess he will be wearing pants and jockeys? I guess the real punishment would be to make the priest from the Boston Archdiocese to wear a frock in prison. Lets not forget the ongoing Christos's exhibition of gates in central park. Some one remarked, "no one can tell me that those curtain are saffron colored. They are orange, I mean orange the visitor barked and they are ugly".

February 13th, 2005 Shias win in Iraq - Gates in Central Park
Christos's river of color finally flows through Central Park after 26 years. Finally the bureaucratic dam was broken by Mayor Blumberg. Masses of people armed with camera's walked under the 7,500 gates, 16 feet tall, and running for 23 miles. They looked very festive. Is it art, what is art? ... lets leave that debate for another day. All gates are 12 feet apart and each of the gates sits on land, accept for the trio that rise from the Harlem Meer. We walked through and around the gates and walked away not inspired and without any awe, other than the fact, how was Christos able to raise more than $20 million? It was a welcome walk in the park, as we head towards cold and wet week. Want to see more pictures for today please click here =>

The shias win in Iraq elections. Does that mean that we have handed more power to Iran?

FEEDBACK ->
The gates didn't impress me, but the trees were beautiful....nice photos! Thanks!

February 10th, 2005 Muslim New Year
Muslims Celebrate the beginning of the year 1426 across the world. The first month in the Islamic Calendar is called Muharram. Its considered a holy month and war is forbidden. Will this month abate the attacks in Iraq? But the attackers are they real Muslims? For they are killing innocent people including children in cold blood? Islamic Year has twelve months and is determined by the lunar calendar. Each month has 29.53 days. The Islamic calendar is shorter by about 11 days compared to the Julian calendar at times referred as the Christian calendar.

February 9th, 2005  Human Cloning - Year of the Rooster
Yes its the Year of the Rooster and we wish you all a Happy New Year and Gong Xi Fa Cai ( may you have wealth and prosperity). We hope you are all blessed with the joys that come with the year of the Cock. Hope Condi gets some blessings of the cock (Rooster) too as we ring 4703. This year should bring advancement in medicine... does that mean cloning will be permitted back home? Today is also Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent in preparation for Easter. Yet tomorrow is a the first day of the Islamic New Year 1426.

The Europeans are going right ahead with human cloning for medical research, especially the British . Should we look forward to seeing another Thatcher or Queen Elizabeth?

February 8th, 2005 Nubian Princess of darkness
The Nubian Secretary of state or is it an Oreo trying to build a legacy that would enable her to be the first Black female President of the US. That would certainly be a dark day in the history of our country. She is not qualified by virtue of the evil that resides within her policies, her heart who knows. We would be stupid to vote for her if ever that moment came in history. Listen to her address in France it has all the trappings of one trying to build her heritage as she cajoles the European community to join hands with the US. The tilt of world power is happening more so the economic tilt. China and European are the emerging economic giants with India in close toe. We can see that President Bush is working hard to build his legacy and he has four years to build. In the process we hope Social Security is not destroyed or who knows his legacy might be the man who destroyed Social Security?

February 6th, 2005 Bazookas & hiccup dilemma
At least 30 killed in Iraq attacks  Are we to believe that Al Qaeda has totally abandoned Afghanistan and are working in Iraq. Why is it so hard to believe that its the darn Iraqis who are fighting and committing these atrocities against their own people and coalition forces in the hope of ridding Iraq of 'occupation' forces. 10:53 pm
Guess we have been working too hard and totally disappointed with the no wardrobe malfunction. Or did someone party too much. After the game was over ... ok ok ... it was I who developed a severe case of hiccups that would not go away. Tried everything from drinking water upside down, sucking a lemon having another shot of tequila and even contemplated jumping out of a plane without a parachute as suggested by someone. But the hiccups persisted. Five hours of hiccups is no fun at all ... trust me on that. Well finally someone's remedy helped and if you need help try it. (Hiccup Cure ).It at least worked for me. Someone commented that I was being punished by God for wanting to see a boob, breast, teat, jug, bazookas or just mammary glands. May be seeing a wardrobe malfunction would had prevented the hiccups.  What a way to start today's blog? Well blame it on hiccups for lack of anything else or ... never mind.  3:03 am

February 5th, 2005  Super Bowl Sunday - Wardrobe malfunctions?
The Patriots won 24 to 21. Well we were not rooting for any team but were hoping for some malfunctions. Can you tell for once SW is buzzed today? Well tomorrow is another day to be coherent. Hey Jude ... Take a sad song and make it better. Great song. Love Mcartney 10:26 pm

Half time and Paul Mcartney was on. NFL really played it safe. The only wardrobe malfunction that could had happened would had been a unzipped fly. We are sure his fly was checked and rechecked. 8:35 pm

Super Bowl is about to start but we have received reaction to the topless cheerleaders. Someone Fung was offended but the streets Shui wants topless cheerleaders. A reader writes, " No, I don't think the cheerleaders should be topless, or anyone else for that matter.  I have my own boobs...if I wanted to look at one I'd look in the mirror.  Geeeezzzz ( name withheld on request)" . Probably not all our readers have boobs so the need for topless display?  Anyone bold enough to send us their boob shot and we shall post them here. 6:15 pm

Hey do you know Osama bin Laden has been captured! Don't believe it? Go to Ebay and you can bid for him. Cheap bastard as he is, is only going for $10.51 and there are 17 bids for the moron. There are still four days  and 22 hours left before he is total toast. The fastest way to capture and destroy the Taliban Fung Shui and to make them surrender is to send topless female marines.<had to put this here> You think we could convince Janet Jackson to offer her services in the name of patriotism?.  2:57 pm

Its that time of the year again when super bowl happens. So lets all take a break from the gore and pain, spins and plots of world politics, open a six pack and watch the game. As the Patriots and Eagles duke it out in the field, we shall keep our fingers crossed for some wardrobe malfunction to happen again. Powell is gone from FCC and hope there is a mature adult at the FCC helm, someone who does not wet their pants at the sight of mammary glands. Someone whose religious Fung Shui is not violated at the beauty of human nakedness. Last time it was chocolate flavored nipples lets hope we get a new flavor this year. Regardless  of who wins we shall stay focused on the wardrobe malfunctions. Send us your feedback if you feel that the cheerleaders should be topless. 1:40 am

February 3rd, 2005 Iraqis Victimized thrice - Social Security
Who will reign in Lt. Gen. James Mattis for making a crass comment which  probably is a true reflection of current leadership of US forces ..."Actually, it's a lot of fun to fight. You know, it's a hell of a hoot. ... It's fun to shoot some people. I'll be right upfront with you, I like brawling." The General thinks exactly like the insurgents or Talibans. The insurgents or Talibans want to kill us because our values are different and the General enjoys killing them because their values conflict with the Generals. Who has a higher moral ground in this whole fiasco of values and cultures?  3.11 pm

Social Security a well crafted plan to push Americans towards poverty with nostrums of better returns if Social Security is privatized. The President has taken his SS circus on the road. Its a panacea of deceit and deception. To the 59 million gullible folks please don't bite the SS bait. Its a great plan for your future insecurity. He is wearing the same tie and suit he wore last night at the Sate of the Union address, with the exception of a fresh shirt. 1.55 pm

Poor Iraqi's is there no end to your misery? First by Saddam, then US and now once again will be by its American appointed Iraqi Generals who are threatening to wipe out any village that puts up a resistance. Dear Iraqis in the over all scheme of world geography, politics and history, you are born in a bad place. Your lot has taken the brunt from Genghis Khan to the 21st Century denizens of liberty and freedom in your country. The first chapter of Iraqi history has not yet started we are still on the prologue, the plot is being created the actors are being screened after which the poor Iraqi's will be brutalized once again, either by the religious fanatics or the alien demi-gods of freedom. We always had Saddam and he was our brain child. Lets take you down memory lane. How conveniently the politicians forget? We created the terrorist, we blessed him and we provided him with the know how to kill and suppress and destroy human rights and human dignity. 12:03 am

February 2nd, 2005 State of the Union
State of the Union speech was unbelievable with good props and emotional moments choreographed to touch audience over substance. An Iraqi woman embracing the mother of a fallen American soldier was touching but delivered nothing. Talk of freedom is hollow if the reality on the ground is gruesome and ugly. We are committing atrocities and our media is not reporting either one of them. All the applause to President Bushes speech can not drown out a single scream of terror from a Iraqi child that has witnessed atrocities at the hands of GWB liberators. Freedom is being taken away from us right at home under the guise of homeland security.

 Did you see Bush practically kiss Senator Liberman? Probably Liberman is one of those politicians who is malleable and likes to play both sides. After four years the Prez has still not learnt to say the word Nuclear. Laura you are falling behind leaving your man behind ;)... forget about leaving no child behind. 10:40pm

When you listen to the State of the Union address, don't be swept away by lofty ideals and slippery language. The State of the union is in anguish and the soul of the nation is going through another four years of trial and tribulations. Elections in Iraq will not bring democracy to a nation suffering under our occupation and atrocities. When the Twin Towers fell in New York city we agonized day in and day out about how our children's minds were scarred by the images of the falling towers and the news of death and destruction was giving them nightmares. If we continue to commit atrocities on the children of other nations and not sympathize with their reality then we should not accept anyone else to be sympathetic to our pain. 9:30 am

February 1st, 2005  Iraqi elections over,  and our dark legacy
The Iraqi elections are over and the results will be out in a week or more. Will the Iraqis accept the new leadership and if the newly elected government asks us to leave within 60 days are we ready? After all that would be the will and the desire of the new democracy in Iraq or would we continue to impose or hegemony on a free nation under the guise of stability and freedom.

We are so bogged down with our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and mourn when ever a body comes home in a body bag yet we fail to look at the legacy we shall be leaving behind and also brining home some of that dark legacy. Will we wonder a decade from now why the Iraqis hate us after we 'liberated' them? Check this video out and let us know what you think and we shall post your comments right here.

Trying to eliminate Saddam, extending the ground war into an occupation of Iraq... would have incurred incalculable human and political costs.

Had we gone the invasion route, the United states could conceivably still be an occupying power in a bitterly hostile land
