That girl in black.... and other fashion colors

You've heard about her. Most likely you've even seen her. I hear she gets around.

Irony for the Anemic Diet

Government officials should probably look at Walmart's career opportunities.

Reason Number 1 -- Kansas being a red, family-preserving, ethics thumping, good old boy state, couldn't protect the future of education. Whether you agree or not that they were forced to come back and do their job... the truth is, they aren't doing it. If they don't want to protect and better the public, then why try so hard to get the job? They should have stayed home.

Reason Number 2 -- A music guy should not have to organize a global rock event to make politicians do their job. The dude's even been knighted , presumably for his humanitarian efforts and not his recording achievements.

While it's awesome to see everyone pull together and give fans access, let's hope that it does some good. You can think that the media hype and public speculation are unreasonable. But what else is going to make decision-makers get up off their duffs and show some productivity? Optimism has limits. To quote SGM; "past performance dictates future response. "

Ok -- Live 8 was a rousing success, but does anyone really believe it's going to make a huge difference in the socioeconomic situation in Africa.

Lemme sum it up in one word: nope. That's not being cold-hearted, just pragmatic.

The G8 forgiving African countries of crushing debt would be a start.
