Idiots!
A hater just told me that if I died he won’t cry. Evidently, he’s so stupid he doesn’t know that even I won’t shed when I die — even though, unlike him, I will be at my funeral surrounded by people crying.

No thievery is more lucrative than the kind done within the limits of the law.

‘Buying local’ vs. protectionism
I’m in the middle of talking about what my African people need to gain food stability and this World Bank idiot interrupts me — in the most bureaucratic, condescending voice possible — to say, “Protectionism can get you in a lot of trouble.”
That’s not what I was talking about, but since he brought it up, here is a question you don’t have to answer: Why doesn’t any of these idiots screaming, “If you love your country buy ‘MADE IN USA’” ever get in trouble for preaching protectionism?
And why is it acceptable for liberals foodies to cry, “buy local?”
Funny how we trust me to know what’s good for our American kids at the university but not what is good for my family in Africa.

Why Bruno Serato is my ‘CNN Hero of the Year’
I don’t mean to suggest that Bruno Serato’s work is more important than that of the award winner, Robin Lim, who saves the lives of so many mothers and babies by ensuring they get healthy births. Lim has done more for the world than those Hollywood celebrities, who CNN allowed to hijack the gala and turn it into a mini Academy Awards. But Serato is my “CNN Hero of the Year.”
I like Serato because of what he said to those underworked and overpaid men and women, whose only problem in life is figuring out how to evade paparazzi.
“I want to feed kids who are starving all over the world,”said Serato, a restauranteur who for six years has fed hungry children in Anaheim, Calif. “But before I do that, I want to feed the children here in America. We should not have hungry children in our own backyard. It is time to do something about it.”
Anyone watching the awards from outside the US might find it difficult to fathom that children in a country that often describes itself as “the greatest nation on Earth” should go hungry. But there are more than 60 million Americans of all races who live in abject poverty. (Add the ones who are in denial and have taken massive debt to perpetuate the dream and the number gets much higher). (More …)

Why would anyone use a $70,000 BMW to haul manure?
I don’t know, Mr. Okong’o. Could be because they bought it at an auction at the price of a beat-up Chevy pick-up truck. Or because the law stipulates that all farmers must have at least one BMW in their farm machinery.

Know how to end famine? Then shut the fuck up and do it
Since news of famine in the horn of Africa resurfaced, I haven’t been able to watch my TV without being interrupted by this one commercial that features a bunch of overpaid celebrities proclaiming that famine is man-made. The self-proclaimed messiahs go on to say that they know how to stop famine. Why the fuck then haven’t they stopped it? Seriously, what the fuck is the point of the advertisement?
It’s so fucking annoying to see these greedy idiots spend so much time and money doing shit like this while at the same time claiming to be fighting poverty. It makes me so fucking sick. (More …)

African Witchcraft 101: A lesson for Pope Benedict
How ironic is it that Pope Benedict — the leader of one of the most consistently villainous institutions in the history of the world — was in Africa urging our goons in government to be kind to us? Even more disgusting, though not surprising, was the media’s trumpeting of the pontiff’s message without anyone pointing out the apparent hypocrisy:
Do not deprive your peoples of hope. Do not cut them off from their future. There are too many scandals and injustices, too much corruption and greed, too many errors and lies, too much violence which leads to misery and to death.
As you might I have already guessed, I have no love for the leaders Pope Benedict’s message was directed to. But had they hired me as a public relations consultant to respond the on their behalf, my response would have been only a slight alteration of the pope words: (More …)
