Michael Jackson’s Memorial

It was beautiful and it was dignified.  Some people thought that Paris’s words were staged by the adults as a ploy because of the allegations that were against her father – I say stuff you – it’s a little child who has lost her father so that’s that.

Here’s a link to view some of the highlights of the event. From Yahoo!

Madoff’s 150 yr sentence

Nobody vouched for Madoff’s character. An opportunity is given to persons to do so when one is on trial for such things an no one said anything.

Here are a couple of examples of what Madoff’s actions have led to:

Carla Hirschhorn mother was living off social security and her daughter had two jobs to pay off her tuition – “Don’t fail us”, she told the judge.

Miriam Siegman of Connecticut told Chin that Madoff “dicsarded me like road kill” and that now she relied on food stamps, collected recyclable bottles and digging through dumps – READ MORE ON BUSINESS DAY

Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Bafana, Brazil

25 June 2009 is a major News Day – Major Legend and Musical Genius who roused major controversy in his later years – Michael Jackson unexpectedly passed away last night from cardiac arrest. Farrah Fawcett also lost her battle with cancer on the same day.

With Confederations Cup in South Africa Bafana Bafana team – ranked 77th in the world held their own against 5 time world champions Brazil, until the 87th minute, where they lost 1 – 0 to Brazil with a penalty kick. Now they’ll be battling with Spain for 3rd place. Nobody thought they’d get this far! Homeground advantage?

Then of course there’s the rate cut that didn’t happen and the electricity hike that did happen – I think the fat cats out there are just asking for a revolution. The recession is biting hard!

SA Election: 2nd update

Well, i guess we’re not as bad… By 0.1% anyways. Those who wanted below 2/3 for the ANC got their little victory. The ANC got 65.90 %, DA 16.66 % and COPE 7.42 %. Insane huh? That’s like just below the mark – the ANC said that they wouldn’t change the constitution – but there have been subtle changes along the way. Don’t trust ‘em but to be sure – I don’t trust any of these politicians. Voting was a struggle since it was a matter of choosing the lesser evil really. Well anyways, the markets are happy, here are some comments from the Global Financial Services Group – Nomura - Business Day.

South African Elections 2009

I feel like we’re the USA when they voted in George Bush for the 2nd term in office. I guess you could draw a parrallel between the US hicks and SA masses.   ; )     Sorry (Lol!!! – I think)

Just look at the stats from IOL:
By 9.50pm, the ruling party had 7,484,389 (66.52 percent) of the 11,250 943 votes counted. Earlier, with just over 10 million votes counted, the ANC had 66.85 percent of the vote.

The DA was second with 1,841,277 (16.37 percent) of the votes. The newly established COPE was third on 861,406 (7.66 percent) votes.

Sad huh? Here we were as South Africans making fun of Americans for voting in the Republicans for a second term in office. Look, it was inevitable that the Z was gonna win but we were hoping to cut down the two 3rds, heck that’s why I woke up so early and stood in line, in the blistering cold for like almost 3hrs.

“Unfashionably Economical”

According to iafrica.com – Milan fashion week opened with “around” 10 fewer shows in the lineup.

While some did “admit” they were being cautious because of economic reasons others cited “strategic” reasons for not being in the lineup. But hey – u need to only look at at those poor starved models to see what the real reason is… ; ) Jokes   -MORE
