Hipster: Misery Churns in Eastern Sudan, Away from the Spotlight

BTW can you all do me a favor and tell me what browser you’re using and if the blog is loading properly. Can you see the moving message above? I’ve been having some problems viewing the blog with Internet Explorer but I get no problems at all when I use Firefox.

UPDATE: Hey guys thanks for the feedback. It seems only one of you so far has the same problem I have when viewing with Internet Explorer. I just wanted to be sure ya’ll are able to view things properly. BTW is this Kucinich guy retarded??! No seriously WTFish is wrong with this dude. No offense to all the Donkeys in the house but do you all realize the consequences of what some in your party are suggesting? Maybe you should read what she’s saying. This is unbelievable!! No wonder the Elephants are so pissed off and depressed.

1 Um Haleema 11.15.06 at 9:02 pm: I’m using Internet Explorer 6 and I see your Welcome banner moving at the top.
2 Drima 11.15.06 at 9:24 pm: Oh thank, then I probably think it’s my own IE that’s giving problems… Are the side bars loading okay too?
3 John Powers 11.15.06 at 9:45 pm: I’m using Firefox 2.0 and see the moving banner and everything loads well.
4 Black Kush 11.15.06 at 10:13 pm: I use IE. I see the moving banner at the top, but the side bar on the left is not loading properly on the front page, but does so well anywhere else on the site! There is a snag somewhere, Drima.
5 Drima 11.15.06 at 10:31 pm: Ah yes IE and that damn left banner… gotta fix it
6 nominally challenged 11.15.06 at 11:32 pm: Using IE 7 and FF 1.5 - banner works on both of them (but only on your main page, I presume that’s the way it’s supposed to be, right?).

Can’t see any problem with the left banner …
7 europia 11.15.06 at 11:33 pm: using safari and works as intended… just tested flock and camino on it, just runs fine.
8 The Raccoon 11.16.06 at 12:24 am: Using FF here, works fine.
9 Finnpundit 11.16.06 at 2:37 am: Works fine on FF 1.5 for Macs.
10 Um Haleema 11.16.06 at 2:40 am: Side bars are fine as well.
11 Precious 11.16.06 at 9:06 am: Omg, I think it took me an hour or so to get out of my shock from Mechanical Crowds Post..

I cant even describe how I feel, is it fear? insecurity? I’m not only disguisted of wat happaned, but it made me think on what if such a thing happaned here in Khartoum.. I mean it kinda already happened during the incedent of 1st August 2006.. After John Garang’s death.. there were a few cases of such sexual harrasment and assualts but not THAT much..

Egypt and Sudan are kinda similar in so many ways, so are the people.. so why not? What if it did happen? I mean the reasons which MC mentioned are not only in Egypt but also in sudan and many other arab countries..

Hope such a day never comes!!!

12 The Raccoon 11.16.06 at 6:40 pm: Oh, and I reckon Democrats were pretty much elected to cut and run from Iraq, plunging the Middle East into a new bloodbath of unprecented proportions, followed by nuclear annihilation of first Israel and the ME and then everybody else.

Yei!

Happy Apocalypse!
13 halalhippie 11.16.06 at 7:45 pm: wow! a plug from the Sudanese Thinker ! much honoured. And I don’t see ur banner thru Firefox2…must be pop-up blocker. I see it thru IE6 @ work.
