Saudi Arabia withdrawing ambassador from Syria

It's a sad commentary on the lack of American leadership in foreign affairs that 'our friends, the Saudis' are taking the lead to do what America should have done weeks ago. After 70 more people were killed by the Syrian army on Sunday, the Saudis have announced that they are calling home their ambassador from Syria for consultations. When will Obama and Clinton wake up and do the same? "What is

The Obama epic fail from A to Z

Bret Stephens does a masterful job of categorizing the Obama Presidency's epic failure from A to Z, although I hope and pray that he's wrong about Z. Here are some highlights. A is for the Arab world, and our standing in it: This year, Zogby International found that 5% of Egyptians had a favorable view of the U.S. In 2008, when George W. Bush was president, it was 9%.B is for the federal budget

Hillary Clinton's reformer murders 121 in Hama

Troops acting on behalf of the man whom Hillary Clinton called a 'reformer' and 'capable of change' four months ago massacred at least 121 people in Hama on Sunday (ignore the number in the video).Let's go to the videotape.Notice that in Syria. when they start firing, everyone ducks for cover.Here's another one. Let's go to the videotape.Were they firing from the minaret of a holy mosque? Can you

Clinton wants Obama to veto foreign aid bill

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has asked President Obama to veto the foreign aid bill voted by the House Foreign Affairs Committee if it reaches him. In particular, she mentioned provisions cutting aid to the United Nations, and restricting aid to the 'Palestinians,' Egypt and Pakistan. Clinton said in a letter Tuesday that she would urge President Barack Obama to veto the bill if it

Your tax dollars at work paying terrorists

In a report to Congress, Palestinian Media Watch has confirmed what I reported previously, namely that the 'Palestinian Authority' is using American aid money to pay salaries to 'Palestinian' terrorists being held in Israeli prisons. But they have also quantified it: The 'Palestinian Authority' is paying over $5 million per month from US aid money to terrorists in violation of US law. In effect,

Obama administration eases up on Syria again

Well what a surprise. The Obama administration has eased up on its criticism of Syria. It's no longer calling for Assad to go. But Clinton backed off on Saturday, saying the administration still hopes that Assad's regime will stop the violence and work with protesters to carry out political reforms. On Monday, European Union ministers also called on Assad to implement reforms and made it clear

SAY NO TO 0870 (UK READERS ALERT!!)

This website, sent to me by my sister, made my week! http://www.saynoto0870.com/

Many people do not realise that there are many phone providers offering cheaper alternative numbers to 0844, 0845, 0870 or 0871 telephone numbers.

If you have an 'inclusive landline calls' phone package, then it is very rare that 0844, 0845, 0870, or 0871 numbers are are included in your 'free minutes' allocation, unlike normal numbers. Many mobile phone packages also exclude freephone 0800 and 0808 numbers for your bundled minutes.

Many companies advertise a separate number that can be used when calling from abroad - This usually begins in the format +44 - There is nothing to stop you using this number from the UK (as it is a normal rate telephone call), and will be included in any inclusive minutes provided by your landline or mobile phone provider. Many others will give you a standard number if you ask.

Use their Search Page to find an alternative landline number to your 0870/0844 number

Videobyte: Obama - Yes We Can

I must confess I have not necessarily been following The U.S. Election especially as it was Super Tuesday yesterday (see link). Unlike my fellow friends and relatives, I just catch a glimpse of updates every now and then. I am backing Obama though and I really like this video - of course because there is a lot of celeb dropping (re: name dropping) - the likes of Tatyana Ali, Scarlett Johansson, Will.I.Am, John Legend, Common, Nicole Scherzinger, Tracee Ellis Ross etc. Go Obama! YES WE CAN! P.S. Why did Nick Cannon look like he didn't want to be there?

Super Tuesday is still going on for those who are not following and Hillary Clinton and John McCain won votes in California while Barack Obama leads with 13 states alongside McCain (in a tie).

Speaking of special days, fellow blogger Lil Mama sent me this flyer for an alternative First Fridays to attend rather than the so called "stiff" First Fridays event in Lagos. Lol.

If you are in Lagos still try and go for the event sha and see for yourself.

Anyway the flyer was just an ad as the Trini First Fridays Bash has now passed but I have a free Caribbean PROMO ONLY mixtape for you to download.
