MIMBARI'S VIEWPOINT:

May 09-2008:

BURMA'S UPDATE:

It is now estimated that over 100 thousand natives may have lost their lives in the cyclone Tsunami. While the military government drags it's feet on allowing the UN and others VISAS to deliver aid to the affected areas.

Meanwhile, the people are starving, exposed to water borne diseases, starvation, and dysentery.
Currently there is a three days holiday in Burma. So millions of Burmese will have to wait until it's callous government officials return from their holiday to continue the SPARCE distribution of donated food to some lucky Burmese.

The government wants to do the distribution by themselves. But they do not have the logistics, experienced personnel, nor the capabilities to do so on their own.

So the world waits until that government gets real, practical and humane!

WORD-UP:

The Spelling Eccentric's Crusade In America!

A male eccentric is walking the streets and states in America to correct the spelling, pronunciation, and apostrophes displayed on public display boards, signs, advertisements, and any word that is spelled incorrectly in public.

Even on the menu cards in restaurants!

This individual has his work cut out for him. Because I believe that he is ignoring the educational root of this problem, to tackle the effects of it.

Which will be a daunting and incomprehensible task.

WORD-UP:

Make Room For My Dinosaurs!

I think Hillary Clinton is tacitly saying to the democratic Party, to make room for her dinosaurs.
Because she feels that they are the foundation from which this party have survived and thrived over the years.

And failing to give recognition to that constituency, may cause the boat to rock un-steadily, and possibly sink.

Go figure!
