2008 US Elections: Hillary Vs Giuliani

I’m not sure since it’s too early to tell but from how things are looking right now, I think it’s going to boil down to the 2 of them facing each other. Both of them are unique in the sense that they have the potential of appealing to voters from the opposing side. Furthermore they […]

Color or Colour? Favorite or Favourite? Meter or Metre?

I find it the spell check feature really annoying sometimes when I’m writing something in Microsoft Word, an American product. Let me elaborate.

Kizzie: Sudanese Inferiority Complex & Pathetic Arab Coverage of Darfur

Kizzie wrote a nice post about Sudanese inferiority complex. I disagree with one small thing though. Inferiority complex is not implanted in every Sudanese but I would say most.

Sudanese Defense Minister Says “Jews Behind Darfur Conflict”

Entertainment, the more the merrier. And this statement has got to be the best part:
Several days ago, Sudan’s Interior Minister, Zubair Bashir Taha, lashed out at Sudanese refugees who had sought asylum in Israel, and accused “Israeli authorities of encouraging the Sudanese refugees to come to their country.”
Ah, the irony. Maybe he should read this […]

Did I Get Mentioned in the Wall Street Journal?

Oh please tell me I did ’cause that would be coooool! I’m getting some hits from a Darfur-related article on their website but I can’t freaking view the full version. I have to be a subscriber to be able to do that. I can only read a tiny preview. Grrrr!! Anybody here a WSJ subscriber?
