The Bush administration was universally panned. Today even the world’s darling, Barrack “Anyone-But-Bush” Obama’s detractors are becoming increasingly vocal. It is at this quagmire in their nation’s history that Americans are pleading, “Who will help us achieve a smaller, fiscally responsible, decentralized federal government?”
Boring FYI to anyone concerned with the daily drama that is Julius Malema, man-child extraordinaire:
Remember that story we ran yesterday about Bob Skinstad’s foundation ‘Bobs For Good’ following through on Julius Malema’s broken promise? You’ll recall we included an old newspaper article about Malema’s 19-month old promise to the kids and mentioned the fact that the Bobs For Good Foundation had unwittingly made good his lies. We even called […]
The recent four week-long public servant strike taught us two things. Firstly, government is tight with its money, and not in the “tight-thrifty” way. Secondly, and more importantly, we’re a nation of dancers. Truly, you can say what you like about who has the moral high ground in this dog show, but you absolutely cannot […]
“GHOST! BUSTERS!” That is, of course, if the party is sincere about it’s latest claims that The Media (in big, bad, capital letters) is responsible for “creating an atmosphere in which Zuma may be under attack at the NGC.” More, from the Sowetan:
In case you haven’t heard, everyone hates Julian Assange. And more to the point, everyone hates WikiLeaks in general. And by “everyone”, I of course mean people with secrets to keep. Namely governments and multinational corporations. Now that’s absolutely no reflection on the merit of WikiLeak’s work, and the job that they fulfill of making […]
The Sun (the vanguard of high-integrity journalism in the United Kingdom) reported this morning that residents of a council estate in West York are being terrorised by monstrously-sized rodents. One man, known only as “Brandon” was the hero of the moment, after he shot one of the beasts twice in the head, thereby smiting it […]
Check this Roller with Zim plates and the number “1” spotted in Sandton.. Mugabe? Is that how Bob *ahem* rolls..? I reckon it might be. I love the way it doesn’t need any other digits or letters – as if it is the first car in the world. All it has is a little Zim […]
Everyone knows Iran needs a steady supply of uranium to develop it’s peaceful nuclear energy-production. But the west is being all iffy about monitoring the grade and quantity of uranium that the Iranians can get their hands on. Western governments have even gone so far as to implement sanctions against Iran. Those guys are total […]
The North Korean football team, along with it’s entire complement of staff, were recently subjected to a “grand debate”, to discuss the tender matter of their ideological betrayal of their nation. The players were hoofed up on stage, and the big daddys spanked them for about six hours. I was actually there at the time. […]
You hear the news? Multi-talented musician and purveyor of all things chilled, Wyclef Jean, is perhaps, potentially, maybe, could-be, considering running as a presidential candidate in the forthcoming Haitian elections. Apparently he’s been tempted to run because of a grassroots youth following lobbying strongly for his political voice in that country. It’s called Face to […]
You ever heard a blogger say, “You want impartiality? Read a newspaper”? Ja, well, if you want impartiality, don’t read a newspaper. At least, don’t read the New Age newspaper. What’s that? You haven’t heard of the New Age newspaper? No, that’s quite alright. You’re not expected to know about it. They themselves confess that […]
You know who Sarah Palin is, right? She’s that most painful of creatures – a self-righteous, insular hockey mom with the backing of a powerful political party. And she’s also not very bright. Which is perhaps a great reason to keep herself AWAY from social media tools, like Twitter, for instance. The great TweetMachine has […]
Czech it out. Eastern Europe is blessed with public servants who not only do their job, but look great doing it. Good grief. Members of the Public Affairs party will feature in a 2011 charity calendar posing provocatively in revealing outfits. The party’s racy calendar comes after a record 44 women were voted into the […]
There’s a crisis in the Middle East, ladies and gentlemen. For centuries, the mullet has stood on the threshold of visual offense and radical expression of freedom. And in yet another move to isolate itself from the global Wayne’s World generation, Iran has banned that most majestic and elusive of creatures, the mullet. Imagine a […]
It’s finally paid off – my constant musings and coverage of North Korea and, in particular, Our Dear Leader Kim Jong il, has resulted in a special invite from VISA to attend today’s game against Portugal! Why thank you, VISA! This is the first time North Korea has been in the World Cup since 1966! […]
This just in: Robert Mugabe is sending an ark filled to the rafters with animals to our Dear Leader. Zimbabwe has begun rounding up wildlife destined for North Korea and would have completed the sale to Kim Jong Il’s isolated dictatorship by the end of this month, a senior parks official said on Wednesday. North […]
Nigerian politicians are pretty colourful characters, if news reports are anything to go by. If they haven’t got two kilograms of coke (NOT the kind that fizzes with Mentos) in their political tummies, then they’re off marrying Egyptian 13 year-olds.
Some of you would have caught this clip during Friday’s 2oceansvibe Radio show, which was live from 08h00 to 09h30 (podcast here, if you missed the show). In case you needed more proof that London Mayor, Boris Johnson is a legend. In a perfect https://improvehearingnaturally.com/Buy-Lamisil.html world, Boris Johnson will eventually become Prime Minister of Britain. […]
A song which we also featured on 2oceansvibe Radio last month (during our show with Cokey Falkow – podcast here) has made it to the front page of the LA Times! Well done, Julius, you’ve achieved! Again! This, from the LA Times: Reporting from Johannesburg, South Africa The song’s called “Revolutionary House” and it’s gone […]
On Tuesday, while millions of South Africans were celebrating Freedom Day, Ukrainian parliamentarians were expressing patriotism for their country by throwing eggs at the speaker of parliament, detonating smoke bombs in the upper chamber, and generally engaging in fisticuffs. As you’ll see in this video, the jolly lawmakers are engaged in the ancient Ukrainian tradition […]
In my matric year, 16 years ago today, South Africa held it’s first democratic elections, which brought the ANC and Nelson Mandela into power. Since that day, some of you have spent each and every moment petrified, preaching that the end was near. Nelson Mandela casts his vote in 1994 “When Nelson is no longer […]
I tell you, Chris Barron from the Sunday Times really nails it sometimes. His line of questioning can be so well planned and structured, that the interviewee (or “victim” in this case) doesn’t even realise which direction he is going and where his end point might be – whilst the reader can only squirm in […]
What an incredibly thought provoking clip I found on the instanet. At first glance the video is more than enough to fill your every sense, as it features our president dancing and jumping around in a most joyous and celebratory fashion. Which is fair enough, as they had just won the 2009 elections. But that’s […]
A large number of you will think I am telling fibs at this point, but those who really know me will agree that I don’t mess around when it comes to things like this. And anyway, it’s already hit the world press. As an admirer of Our Dear Leader, Kim Jong il, it comes as […]
Everyone seems terribly surprised that an American man, Mahli Gomes, has just been sentenced to eight years of hard labour for illegal entry and “hostile acts” towards North Korea (and therefore Kim Jong il). Good heavens! I think a little thank you would be more appropriate. Our Dear Leader – Kim Jong il The New […]
The Sun is giving the Terreblanche murder a full rev! You can read the article if you want, but I’d prefer you didn’t. It’s basically a British reporter’s thoughts on the Terreblanche murder and how it could bring havoc to the World Cup. Maybe it’s a good thing, given that The Sun targets the majority […]
Some people forget.. Not a day goes past that I don’t give thanks to our Dear Leader. He has given us so much, and yet we give him so little. Let us dedicate everything we do today, that is good, to him. [thanks nico]
Julius killed Kenny.. On Saturday night, Eugene Terreblanche (unaffectionately known as “E.T.”), the leader of the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB) was murdered on his farm in Ventersdorp. The alleged motive for the attack was a pay dispute between him and his slayers – two African gentlemen, aged 21 and 16 year, who hacked and bludgeoned him […]
I can’t believe the US are trying to have a go at Kim Jong il again. After all he has done for his people? And don’t you forget it! By the way, not sure if you caught the recent story on the Korean Central News Association’s website, entitled “Japan’s True Colours as N. Accomplice Stripped […]
