BBC NEWS | UK | Video shows kidnapped aid worker
I believe that these people don't have a right to live not because they are fighting for a cause (If I can safely say that) but because of their stupidity. Margaret Hassan is married to an Iraqi and has been living in Iraq for the last 30 years. She has already voiced her opposition against the war and moreover this is not the first case where Iraqi sympathizers have been kidnapped. In a way we can assume that the terrorists are in trouble because their new hires are really stupid, I mean they make Bush look like Einstein. Why does this always happen, there is a movement that starts spurred by a true cause and then somehow or the other morons take over. This theory is true to almost every country in the world. Is it because we have so many stupid people walking around not knowing that they are stupid? Or is it that we have a tendency to support dumbasses? I don't know the answer because I'm not that bright and I think it is a safe assumption because - "who is worse than a moron, a moron who thinks he/she is smart".

CNN.com - Police kill India's 'Robin Hood'� - Oct 18, 2004
I have an enormous respect for the American media and their part in acting as a control in a number of issues but they seem to have limited information about the "rest of the world". Veerappan did not help poor people, he was a smuggler and at one point I was fascinated with his ability to elude the authorities. Secondly who the f**k (want to keep this blog PG 13) is Rajkumar and I'm very positive that he is not one of the biggest stars in India. He might be a popular actor in Karnataka but ironically even the Kannadigas don't watch Kannada movies. Now a pick-up driving, steak eating farmer from Southern Indiana would have a wrong opinion about veerappan (Although his/her opinion hardly matters to the world except in the presidential elections - I feel for you man). It is very critical for well renowned news channels like CNN to be careful how they paint the picture because we the readers trust them. Hence unless it is related to Darfur, because nobody knows what going on there (maybe a few do but they don't have oil and we don't care about their stupid wildlife - I have seen it on discovery channel) the media is our eyes and ears they have the responsibility to show the right picture.

BBC NEWS | Programmes | From Our Own Correspondent | Dark humour for dark times
I'm a very difficult person to please if it does involve stripping but this article has caught my attention. The Moslem world is coming out and interacting with the rest of the world on a social level. There is no question that Humor along with stupidity is a common factor among humans and a few other species (We cannot exclude Jackson) and it is the best way to connect to the rest of the world. I was a little pissed because in the present times non-Moslems are always told to better understand the Moslem culture (sorry if I'm grouping Moslems culturally but you have to give me that, I'm from the hood) but there was hardly any talk about Moslems trying to understand the rest of the world better. I'm not planning to participate in the MS Universe competition next year but I guess I can still want "World Peace". It is very critical that we get along better and look beyond our differences cultural or religious because we have to remember that before everything we are "Human". I'm an optimist, always look at the glass and think well I still have shot of rum left and truly hope that all of us get along (If not I can still move to Canada).

The REAL O'Reilly factor: His ego
The REAL O'Reilly factor: His ego
The spin did not stop with his show. I don't care about people's fantasies because everyone is entitled to them but people like O'Reilly lambaste others for having the same fantasies. What is it that drives people to do this, strangely I sympathize with this guy, and he must have felt guilty through the best years of his life. Well I'm sure President Bush can bless him and relieve him of all his sins. I have no problem with Bill's views but his crudeness in representing them on other people is what makes me mad. There is a vicious trend out there that you have to be either conservative or liberal, you can't be yourself. I like to have my opinions and don't care whether they are left or right wing. All said and done I'm human too so I would love to see this guy go down in flames and watch the drama. More over I'm sick of the Bush and Kerry jokes and this would be a welcome break.
