While Robert Mugabe Sips Champagne,Zimbabweans Drink Cholera-Infected Water!

As cholera & starvation spreads rapidly through Zimbabwe,Robert Mugabe celebrated his 85th birthday as if he doesn't have a care in the world!It amazes me that he is sipping champagne while the people of his country die from not having one of the barest necessities of life,which is clean water.Not only that,Robert Mugabe asked for contributions from Zimbabweans for his lavish weeklong birthday celebrations.How deplorable!This man has no soul.Here's more from Sky News:

"A week of birthday celebrations culminates today for the Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe, as his country remains in crisis.
Mr Mugabe turned 85 last weekend and is today set to enjoy a huge public feast and concert at Chinhoyi, about 50 miles west of the capitol Harare.

Critics say it shows a continued confidence by Mr Mugabe - just weeks after he agreed to a power-sharing deal with the opposition MDC leader Morgan Tsvangirai.

The lavish event promises to be a party fit for a king.

It is reported to include 2,000 bottles of champagne, 8,000 lobsters, 100kg of prawns and 4,000 portions of caviar.

Yet whilst Mr Mugabe feasts, half of his population survives on just one meal a day in a country battling hyper-inflation and a worsening cholera epidemic.

Controversially, Mr Tsvangirai has said he will attend.

He evidently believes his best hope of bringing real change is from within government, not outside fighting Mr Mugabe in opposition.
Last year, Mr Tsvangirai railed against Robert Mugabe's birthday celebration as "a gathering of the satisfied few" in a nation crippled by food shortages.

His spokesman James Maridadi said of today's bash: "Morgan Tsvangirai was invited and he is attending.

"It is courteous on (the part of) his party and it is in the spirit of national unity."

As leader of the opposition, Morgan Tsvangirai faced intimidation, physical assault and at one stage was charged with plotting to kill Mr Mugabe.

However, in February he was sworn in as the country's Prime Minister.

The Mugabe birthday celebrations will reportedly cost £350,000 - amid suggestions it would take more than £3bn to rehabilitate Zimbabwe's collapsed health, social and education systems."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Apparently,Morgan Tsvangirai used some good judgement & decided not to attend.Here's more on that from Zimbabwe Metro:

"President Mugabe invited Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai, but Press Secretary James Mariradi said the majority party leader turned it down. Tsvangirai said it is a political party function and as the prime minister, he is not obligated to attend, the spokesman said.

The spokesman would not acknowledge whether Tsvangirai had initially agreed to attend, but it was widely reported in Zimbabwean media that he had agreed to do so."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

Is Rihanna Really Back With Chris Brown?!!! Some Women Just Never Learn!

I can't stand Geraldo Rivera,but damned if he wasn't right!He said that Rihanna was probably going to get back together with Chris Brown & she would refuse to press charges & testify against him.It looks as if he was right about the first part at least.Look what the Seattle Pi is reporting:

"Could Rihanna and on-again/off-again beau Chris Brown really be spending time together just three weeks after his arrest?

People reports the singers are at one of Sean "Diddy" Combs' homes on Miami Beach's Star Island. "They care for each other," a source tells the magazine. "While Chris is reflective and saddened about what happened, he is really happy to be with the woman he loves."

Brown was accused of attacking a woman and booked for making criminal threats in the early hours before the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Rihanna, who along with Brown canceled performances for the Feb. 8 show, was widely reported to be involved in the case, though police have not identified the woman.

Brown, who has not been charged, said he was "sorry and saddened" a week after his arrest. "I am seeking the counseling of my pastor, my mother and other loved ones, and I am committed, with God's help, to emerging a better person," Brown said in a statement.

Rihanna has not commented on Brown's arrest, but thanked fans a week ago for the support "she has received during this difficult time."

Brown reportedly reached out to Rihanna for the first time since his arrest on Feb. 18 - her 21st birthday.

Rihanna's father, Ronald Fenty, tells Us of the apparent reconciliation, "I love my daughter with whatever road she takes. I'm behind her win or lose. I will be supportive. If that's the road she wants to choose, I'm behind her."(END OF EXCERPT)Read the rest here.

WTF are you thinking,Rihanna?!!!! Some women just never learn!

The Great Hypocrite,Rush Limbaugh,Asks,"Why Does The President Of The United States Want To Destroy It?!

Rush Limbaugh tells the "drive-by media" today at CPAC that "he doesn't need a teleprompter to speak".Since nothing he says is of any real importance,I would hope that the crap he spews "comes from the heart"!But after he made that dig at President Obama,he even had to admit that President Obama is "one of the most gifted politicians & men".That's the best thing he's ever said about any black person besides Clarence Thomas.Kudos to him for his brief foray into honesty.


With all of the racist things that has come out of Rush Limbaugh's mouth,he claimed that he "wants every American to be the best he or she chooses to be".And according to him,everyone has equal opportunities,which he later contradicted by saying that capitalism causes inequalities!As an African-American female,I have seen my share of inequality & racism.More often than not,your choices are limited.

Unfortunately,I'm not one of those liberals Rush Limbaugh is talking about.I have no reason to pretend that there is discrimination when there is not!I'm not a democrat that's using race or gender to get elected.Heck,I've got no political ambitions whatsoever.I am simply a blogger that can speak from her own negative experiences.

Then,the great Limbaugh went on to say:

"The racism in our country was fully on display in the Democratic primaries."

And on President Obama,this whining rich man says:

"We didn't ask if he was authentically black."

"It doesn't matter to me what race he is."

"He just wants to expand the welfare state."


"Why does President Obama leave out the recession of the 80's? Because we got out of it with tax cuts."

"Do you know that President Obama has proposed more spending than from the founding of this country until his presidency?"

"He pursues a path that punishes success & achievers."


And on why there continues to be poverty & a great disparity in wealth in America:

"They remain poor because government destroys education & ambition."

"They destroy people's futures."

"The government destroys families and pays people to keep having babies."

"It's not about revenue generation with them.It's about control.

"Liberalism is about feeling good about themselves."

And on the past racism that Vice President,Joe Biden has shown towards Indians:

"I made a joke about the bigotry of the VP of the United States,Joe Biden."

On why the conservatives and liberals can never be bipartisan:

"The notion of partisanship,false premise,let me defined bipartisanship..."

"Bipartisanship only occurs after one other result and that is victory."

"To us,bipartisanship,is them being forced to agree with us."

"Where is the compromise on all of this spending? Where is the compromise in all of this punishment of the achievers?

"Where is the compromise between good & evil?"

And on the Iraq war:

"They wanted George Bush to fail".

Those are some of the things that Rush Limbaugh said that really stuck out to me.He tried to paint the conservatives as the party of good & the democrats as the party of evil.Then,he claimed that conservatives "love people" & the conservative Limbaugh went on to demonstrate just how much he "loves people" by calling a media focus group with Obama supporters "a bunch of losers".If you love people,you don't try to divide them.You seek to unite them!

Most of what Rush Limbaugh says is downright evil & full of contradictions.I found his joke about God thinking that he's Rush Limbaugh to be blasphemous & far from funny.What's good about Rush Limbaugh? Not one damn thing!This man demonstrated today that he is all about division.In this country,Limbaugh is promoting the idea that it's the conservatives against the liberals!And the achievers against the non-achievers.If you haven't made it,then it's because you are a loser that's depending on government.

He said that the liberals want to punish the people at the top for the inequalities of capitalism.There are a lot of women & minorities who don't receive equal pay & opportunities.And according to Rush Limbaugh,it's because the Democrats tried to have "a great welfare state" for the past 100 years.They have told women & minorities that the world will discriminate against them.

Unfortunately,as an African-Amercian female,I can tell you that I have worked for my living despite the very real discrimination that I have endured.I haven't been taught by my hard-working ancestors,who faced the very real possibility of being lynched by racist whites,that I should depend on welfare.My folks taught me that I would have to work three times as hard as a white person to be afforded the same opportunites.And affirmative action has never gotten me any grants,scholarships,or job promotions.In fact,I have lost chances at success because I have dark skin!The "great welfare state" has not helped me or my family one bit!

The real truth is that folks like Rush Limbaugh need the division in this country to continue in order to make a living.Limbaugh had no complaints about the way George Bush has destroyed America.Why is that?If he loved people so much,then he would use his big platform to give them the truth.While President Bush destroyed this country,Rush Limbaugh kept talking against liberals!He didn't say one negative thing about President Bush then or now!

He calls President Obama a fear-monger,but we all know that President Bush used fear to start the war in Iraq,spy on Americans,& get re-elected.Where was Rush Limbaugh's passion for the future of America,then? His only concern is to support an ideology,whether it is right or wrong.He asked why President Obama is trying to destroy America when he should have posed that question to George Bush.President Obama is trying to repair the mess.So,my question to Rush Limbaugh is why are you trying to destroy the president of the U.S.?

It's remarkable to me that a comedian like Rush Limbaugh is taken so seriously by the conservative party.How unfortunate for them!
