Smoking gun....

Is this true? Is this going to happen? Is it the pandora box that many of us are hoping for me? Only time will tell....listen to what he has to say-

Arif Shah revealed that there is a 30 percent chance of him
joining the opposition with PKR being the party of his choice."I have to discuss
with Guan Eng first as I want him to feel comfortable (about me joining
Pakatan)," he said.

We will see how things go...stay tuned

Goodbye 2008....in a month's time

2008 somewhat was a memorable year for me. Unlike many others, I took some important steps in my life and I am certain those little steps are crucial for the bigger steps I have taken. My journey started when I was only 9 years old. Listening to the ceramahs at the famous old Esplanade with my late father, brought some sense into my life with regards to standing up to what you believe in. Today, I met many friends who had known me since Primary One and they somewhat knew my steps would have taken me there today. Will I ever consider running for office? That will be a difficult question. Without a mentor, it will be difficult. I wished he was alive today. I wished he was there at Red Rock Hotel listening to an acceptance speech. I wished he would not have left us so very early. I am adamant about the fact that many quarters are taking a big stride against the current state government. For me, I am willing to see it through. Why? After all, 18 years of rule is good enough.

So, March 8 came and went. All I want to say is that I am glad my journey started long ago before that. I am glad the journey has taken me from Penang to the US and back...and today, I am walking my talk and taking my journey. Mr Chew Hock Chye, I wished you were around. I wished you had the chance to see the new government coming to power. I am indebted for the chance you have instilled in. I miss you very much, dad.

Leave then....why wait?

I have great admiration for this gentleman. In fact, I have spoken to him countless times in Hokkien mind you. Seriously, if the going gets tough, the tough gets going. However, after reading his account on NST, I am pretty certain his adversary that trounced him at Permatang Pauh, is indicating that he will join Pakatan. I wouldn't mind if this man moves into the fold of the PKR government.

Wah....good gesture but why ask Dato Lee to leave Gerakan earlier?

Is it politcally motivated? Why has a good man like Dato Lee Kah Choon got to leave the party for taking up positions within the state government? Take it from me, Gerakan Penang - suggest you join Pakatan Rakyat. After all, you asked Dato Lee to leave before didn't you? Why wait till BN boots you out?

My MBA alma mater town made the news...hehee

Nude pics leaked online 10 min-->
FAYETTEVILLE ( Arkansas) - A MAN is suing the McDonald's after he left his cell phone at one of the chain's restaurants and nude photos of his wife that were on it ended up online.
The suit was filed on Friday against the chain, the franchise owner, and the store manager, and seeks a jury trial and US$3 million (S$4.58 million) in damages for suffering, embarrassment and the cost of having to move to a new home.
The suit says that Mr Phillip Sherman left the phone in the Fayetteville, Arkansas store in July and that employees promised to secure it until he returned.
Manager Aaron Brummley declined to comment, and other company officials didn't return messages. -- AP

What? Road sign defaced?

Read this cartoon carefully. It was published by Utusan Malaysia. Clearly the intention is to question the reason behind the multi-lingual roadsigns. Seriously, if you look carefully, the main language of the roadsign is Bahasa. I am not sure why it is a dark day in Malaysian history? I am seriously wondering if someone is trying to make things look bad!

Next we hear defacing signboards just to prove a point? Gosh! I bet many of the news dailies have yet to report on this latest thingy but I am giving you an exclusive scoop. The roadsign at the heritage area in Penang has been vandalized with red paint. I wonder how low can one go, really! I am sure this is the latest of the many series of controversial news in Penang but I am glad the CM has responded very promptly. What would they do next?

2 choices to decide

The Penang State Government may have taken a herculean task in ensuring the status of Penang's Heritage Status is being secured. I am sure many of you did not ever dream that Penang will one day be a Heritage City as well as being governed by the Pakatan Rakyat government. Seriously, I am speaking as a Penangite and I am sure many of you would agree. A wise friend advised me never to look back at the rear mirror but to steer ahead. It's always important to know the history and to learn from it. Never be afraid to admit mistakes as the new government will make some blunders and as a Penangite, I am always forgiving. Forgiving when it comes to blunder but if the same mistakes are being made twice, I will not hesitate to bite someone's head off. For the case of the Heritage City status, I am certain you know the issues. Stop focusing on the crappy ways of the BN government but be prepared to take a step ahead and to consider these 2elements:

1.Stop the projects and face legal lawsuits. Besides that, you will have alot to convince the investors of your flip flop policy to reverse a bad decision. The Government of the day will be the government of the future. So stop blaming those bastards in the past .

2. Set up a negotiation team to talk to the affected developers. I believe there are reasonable people. After all, they wouldn't have considered Penang.

I am sure you wouldn't want those bastards to come back to power, would you? So speak up and be heard. Always look forward and say "to hell with the past. We have voted the new government for a change and don't even talk about them anymore. There are comfortably earning their pension and we must make sure they continue doing so. "

I think the blame game must stop. It is better for all to put aside all political differences and not let the award go to waste. I am certain it's a wake up call for the PR government in Penang to consider. According to Malaysiakini, it's a difficult game to play on this issue. Nevertheless, I am confident, Penang will prevail. Trust me - it will prevail under PR.

Right on Anil!

Thanks to Anil, it brought back old wounds and memories when Padang Kota Lama became a field of sand hills - literally. I remembered there fairly well. Why? I just got back from the US and it was a horror when I saw this being done. Obviously, my political affliation has never quivered over the years. Talking about that, I just caught a glimpse of the "Showdown of Champions" in KL. Imagine, my weekend was planned for seeing the best of the best play against each other. I guess I was robbed. I sincerely felt that it was not my government that robbed me of my priviledge but the lack of "management skills" and negotiation skills of the organizer. I am saying this as my own personal opinion. How can one fuck up so badly? Really, how can one FUCK up so badly? She went to the political partie. She became a poster girl of many of these folks who wanted political mileage. SO - go figure out. I am certain that she is hurting herself but it was because she was living in a world of her own. Penang can do it .... what we don't need is another idiot who thumps his/her chest claiming they are somebody - then the whole world will fall flat on your feet. S0, that Anil....you ARE A GEM!

Did she just say what I think she said...????????

Just because we are women and we don’t have that thing between the legs so
we are not good.

Aiyooo.....now it is the gender thing in Malaysia. I sincerely hope we don't end up being so crude. I am just shocked that this was published but I guess I can vouch for her seeing the frustration she is facing...ah well, time for a shower.

Enjoy reading!

Axed UM VC says its because she's a woman
Beh Lih Yi Nov 17, 08 7:23pm
Former Universiti Malaya vice-chancellor Rafiah Salim has alleged gender bias by the government towards local academicians amidst the controversy of her not being re-appointed to the post.
MCPX
The first woman to head a public university in the country, Rafiah’s contract was not renewed recently and she was informed on the decision merely 48 hours before the expiry of her term.
She was appointed in May 2006. "Just because we are women and we don’t have that thing between the legs so we are not good," she told Malaysiakini in an one-hour interview today held at her new office at UM. Former vice-chancellors of UM, the country’s oldest public university, are often granted an office premise to conduct research and development. "It’s so sad because there is this a ministry in charge of higher education and you expect them to be more liberal and advanced in their thinking," the 61-year-old former law lecturer and former Bank Negara assistant governor argued. Explaining her allegation of gender bias, Rafiah said she recently learnt that the women VCs were only given a two-year contract while male VCs were given a three-year contract. This included her successor Prof Dr Ghauth Jasmon.
"Doesn’t this [show they are] more confident in men than in women?" she questioned.

Rafiah’s contract was extended for another six months in May this year until the government’s decision to discontinue her services recently.
Following this decision, she has locked horns with Deputy Higher Education Minister Idris Haron after the latter gave an explanation in Parliament on why her contract was not renewed.
Idris (left) had said that UM needed someone with a high level of performance who could elevate the university’s status and the new appointee, Ghauth, had vast experience in public universities.
The decision to discontinue Rafiah’s contract also sparked off a debate in Parliament with some women parliamentarians raising their concern that the issue involved gender inequality.
Former national unity and social development minister Napsiah Omar also expressed her displeasure over the decision.
On this, an irked Rafiah argued: "I don’t care why they have replaced me but what I am upset about is the defamatory remarks that the deputy minister made in Parliament.
"He was really casting aspersions on my capability, track record and insinuating that I didn’t perform.
"He could have given whatever excuse he wants [although] I know it’s difficult for him to justify it because it’s a gender thing [...] but because he can’t provide an explanation, he cast aspersions on me.
"If he had said it outside Parliament, I can sue him. I have 34 years of an excellent career," said Rafiah.
Defending her two-and-a-half year term at UM, she said the transformation plan she laid out for the university was on track and one example was that she has successfully increased the number of UM publications from 3,300 three years ago to 5,882 as of June this year.
The former VC, who came all prepared for the interview complete with her ‘report card’ also pointed out that the university has managed to climb the Times Higher Education World University’s rankings from 246 last year to 230 this year.
"When were just about to come up, they stop me," she lamented, adding that she was not told how she did not perform well.
'I couldn’t be bothered anymore'
Despite her anger, Rafiah denied she was bitter over the episode other that what Idris has said in Parliament. She said she was of the view that it was the ministry’s prerogative to appoint their candidate.
"They have a right to appoint a monkey if they want," she told Malaysiakini.
Rafiah also stressed that she was not interested in seeking reinstatement to the post.
"I am not interested in reinstatement. I am not interested in the job anymore, I have moved on. I have booked my holiday to see my grandchildren and I have started my book [...] but suddenly he (Idris) comes and defames me," she said.
Rafiah was obviously upset over the 48-hour notice given to her over the non-renewal of her contract, saying this showed the ministry’s lack of respect for ‘basic human decency’.
According to her, the decision not to extend her contract had already been made beforehand - even before the search committee tasked with appointing the VC had interviewed her.
"The system is flawed, he (Higher Education Minister Khaled Nordin) talks of transparency... what transparency? Was it advertised? What are the criteria? Do any of us know the criteria they are looking for?" she asked.
Rafiah, however, declined to comment when asked on how the selection process could be improved.
"Don’t correct it, I am already out [...] I couldn’t be bothered anymore," she replied.
Khaled, who was Rafiah’s student when the latter was a UM law lecturer, has called for the debate over the controversy to stop.
The minister also stressed that new UM VC’s appointment was made according to procedures and the decision was final.

Nicely put .....

GEORGE TOWN: The state government wants to know why the rental fee of RM200,000 was not collected before the groundwork for the Kings of Tennis event was allowed at the Esplanade field.
Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng said the state Public Accounts Committee (PAC), which is launching an inquiry into the cancellation of the much-touted event, was welcome to investigate why the money was not collected by the Penang Municipal Council.
Lim said the government did not play any part in the organising of the event as it was entirely a private initiative.
“We were neither the organiser nor the co-organiser of the event. As such, if it didn’t succeed, why blame the state government?” he asked after launching the International Meatless Day Charity Carnival in Jalan Tun Syed Sheh Barakbah here on Sunday.
He said that when the event was first proposed, many heads of Penang-based non-governmental organisations came to lobby for the event to be held and asked the state government to be part of the organising committee.
“I can understand their intention, knowing that if we managed to pull it off by hosting the event, it would definitely put Penang on the international map and give tourism in the state a huge boost. But we refused to be part of the organising team.
“We told them what we could do was just to facilitate the event by waiving the RM2mil deposit for renting the field with the condition that the field must be restored to its grandeur once the event is completed.
“On top of that, we offered to waive the RM200,000 rental fee if the event was successful.
“The only problem is why was the fee was not collected before groundwork was allowed to take place,” he said.

MY COMMENT - I GUESS I WILL LIKE TO KNOW WHICH NGO WENT TO SEE THE CHIEF MINISTER ON THIS? IT'S INTERESTING TO FIND OUT THOUGH......

Really....take a look at this and you decide!

PRESS STATEMENT OF ARIANNA TEOH

1. I refer to the various press reports in relation to the "Kings of Tennis" tournament which was scheduled to be held on 14.11.2008 to 16.11.2008 at the Esplanade in Penang.

2. In press reports, it has been suggested by the Producer of the event, Show Administration Europe AB ("Show Administration"), that the event was actually cancelled by their company, due to my failure to remit certain funds to them.

3. I wish to refute this allegation as it was made without any basis whatsoever. The truth of the matter is, that I was hired by Show Administration as a Vice President for the "Kings of Tennis" event, at which time I agreed to organise and manage the event in Malaysia.

4. The budgeting, revenue and invoicing were obligations to be undertaken by Show Administration. Show Administration were obligated to set up a Malaysian company controlled by them to be named "Kings of Tennis Malaysia". I was supposed to be made a director of this company "Kings of Tennis Malaysia" in order to issue all invoices in relation to all sources of revenue pertaining to the event. This would include corporate boxes, sponsors and hospitality packages.

5. If and when this company was registered, it would have been the entity that would have received all funds for the event. As indicated above, these funds would have been under the control of Show Administration.

6. At no time was I under any obligation to personally remit funds to Show Administration for the event.

7. Show Administration failed to set up a company called "Kings of Tennis Malaysia". What they did was set up a company known as Profound Quality Sdn Bhd. This company was set up by Show Administration and was intended by them to be the vehicle for fund collection. This company was set up extremely late in the day despite my repeated reminders to them that it was imperative for collection of funds that this entity be set up and the necessary bank account opened as quickly as possible.

8. By this time, it was far too late to collect the projected revenue prior to the event.

9. Although I had lined up various sponsors and various corporate customers willing to purchase corporate boxes, I refused to collect any monies until the necessary entity was fully and legally set up by Show Administration. I did not want to be in the position of holding other peoples monies personally. The question therefore of me remitting funds to Show Administration could not have arisen.

10. I wish to stress that I have come up with my own money on various occasions. This was despite the fact that it was not my obligation to fund the event.

11. I am a Penangite and I am very proud to be one. I believe that for Penang, this was a golden opportunity to put it back on the world map. Penang has just received world heritage status and this event was to be the first global celebration of this fact. The event was to be held at the Esplanade which is completely surrounded by historical landmarks. Furthermore, the event was to be televised to over forty countries.

12. Those of you who have visited the stadium or even seen the picture of the set up, must realize that the local production team delivered a world class facility.

13. I therefore remain committed to promoting Penang globally. Although this is a set back for my team and for Penangites, I intend to do my very best to make up for this unfortunate episode.

14. Rest assured that the Esplanade will be restored fully as promised.

15. Finally, I take these allegations very seriously and will not hesitate to take any action in order to defend my position. I have engaged Ranjit Singh from Kuala Lumpur to act as my lawyer. If you require any further clarification please do not hesitate to contact him at ranj@rorl.com.my.

I really can't comment too much on this but to pray....pray for Penang!

Cakap tak serupa bikin

CM of Penang did the right thing. I guess when one speaks, one needs to have facts. He did just that today. Speaking with facts. I didn't even know KL had multilingual signs. Well, they do actually. They didn't get the flake. They didn't get sued. Eh...what is this huh?

What a bunch of bullshit

Nothing matches the recent arrests of folks at the commemoration function of Bersih Rally 1011. Stick to the story, MrPolicemen. We know the truth and continue to BS your way across. Even the Internal Affairs Minister claimed ignorance. Sure ... continue claiming what you claim. It will come crashing in 2012. Trust me - it will come crashing. For now, the Rakyat is watching. We continue to watch.

2012....

It's time to reflect. Time to walk the talk. Time to demand changes. Time to make a difference and yes we can....towards 2012!

RPK is out...and many more

Somehow, I caught up with KB Lee at Komtar today. He was wearing a red t-shirt that says "I am with RPK." I am glad he wore it. Thousands of Malaysians are glad that RPK has been released. Thanks to the judiciary system, he is out. What leaves the ruling government now? Seriously, I don't think they give a damm anyway. So what if he has been released - I bet that is what they will say. After all, it was Badawi's administration and what is done is now undone.

Seriously, I don't think it is that simple. RPK's release has serious implication that ISA is indeed draconian and ISA must go! I am sure many would agree that the episode of the arrest of the reporter of ISA and RPK being thrown into Kamunting for 2 years clearly show that the current government is indeed indecisive.....

Now some comments about the Penang golf course issue at Batu Kawan. All of a sudden ex deputyCM of Penang remembers! He actually remembers things unlike months ago when he was questioned about the allerged land scams. Hahaha...what do you make out of this.... I guess one has to take some medication to remember and I guess he did just that.

Walking the talk? I guess one has to understand issues before we can take a stand and walk alongside with the issues. I am surprised that non of the NGOs actually appeared at the Wireless@Penang forum. Seriously, I have serious doubts as to whether these guys are for real. I leave it as that....doubts :) Till then take care

Wah....now our Parliament is a place to swear

Imagine you can ever swear in Parliament let alone scream obsenity across the respected Dewan. What a shame really when the Rakyat continues to accept the reality that our ruling government has somehow forgotten that they were put there by the people. I am saddened really with the reality that one gets away by shouting "Dirty Bastard" and get away with a slap in the wrist while the opposition get thrown out of the parliament. I say this - pot calling the kettle black you bloody bastard!

Inspiring speech...

Remarks of President-Elect Barack Obama-as prepared for deliveryElection NightTuesday, November 4th, 2008Chicago, Illinois





If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
It’s the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.
It’s the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America.
It’s the answer that led those who have been told for so long by so many to be cynical, and fearful, and doubtful of what we can achieve to put their hands on the arc of history and bend it once more toward the hope of a better day.
It’s been a long time coming, but tonight, because of what we did on this day, in this election, at this defining moment, change has come to America.
I just received a very gracious call from Senator McCain. He fought long and hard in this campaign, and he’s fought even longer and harder for the country he loves. He has endured sacrifices for America that most of us cannot begin to imagine, and we are better off for the service rendered by this brave and selfless leader. I congratulate him and Governor Palin for all they have achieved, and I look forward to working with them to renew this nation’s promise in the months ahead.
I want to thank my partner in this journey, a man who campaigned from his heart and spoke for the men and women he grew up with on the streets of Scranton and rode with on that train home to Delaware, the Vice President-elect of the United States, Joe Biden.
I would not be standing here tonight without the unyielding support of my best friend for the last sixteen years, the rock of our family and the love of my life, our nation’s next First Lady, Michelle Obama. Sasha and Malia, I love you both so much, and you have earned the new puppy that’s coming with us to the White House. And while she’s no longer with us, I know my grandmother is watching, along with the family that made me who I am. I miss them tonight, and know that my debt to them is beyond measure.
To my campaign manager David Plouffe, my chief strategist David Axelrod, and the best campaign team ever assembled in the history of politics - you made this happen, and I am forever grateful for what you’ve sacrificed to get it done.
But above all, I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to - it belongs to you.
I was never the likeliest candidate for this office. We didn’t start with much money or many endorsements. Our campaign was not hatched in the halls of Washington - it began in the backyards of Des Moines and the living rooms of Concord and the front porches of Charleston.
It was built by working men and women who dug into what little savings they had to give five dollars and ten dollars and twenty dollars to this cause. It grew strength from the young people who rejected the myth of their generation’s apathy; who left their homes and their families for jobs that offered little pay and less sleep; from the not-so-young people who braved the bitter cold and scorching heat to knock on the doors of perfect strangers; from the millions of Americans who volunteered, and organized, and proved that more than two centuries later, a government of the people, by the people and for the people has not perished from this Earth. This is your victory.
I know you didn’t do this just to win an election and I know you didn’t do it for me. You did it because you understand the enormity of the task that lies ahead. For even as we celebrate tonight, we know the challenges that tomorrow will bring are the greatest of our lifetime - two wars, a planet in peril, the worst financial crisis in a century. Even as we stand here tonight, we know there are brave Americans waking up in the deserts of Iraq and the mountains of Afghanistan to risk their lives for us. There are mothers and fathers who will lie awake after their children fall asleep and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, or save enough for college. There is new energy to harness and new jobs to be created; new schools to build and threats to meet and alliances to repair.
The road ahead will be long. Our climb will be steep. We may not get there in one year or even one term, but America - I have never been more hopeful than I am tonight that we will get there. I promise you - we as a people will get there.
There will be setbacks and false starts. There are many who won’t agree with every decision or policy I make as President, and we know that government can’t solve every problem. But I will always be honest with you about the challenges we face. I will listen to you, especially when we disagree. And above all, I will ask you join in the work of remaking this nation the only way it’s been done in America for two-hundred and twenty-one years - block by block, brick by brick, calloused hand by calloused hand.
What began twenty-one months ago in the depths of winter must not end on this autumn night. This victory alone is not the change we seek - it is only the chance for us to make that change. And that cannot happen if we go back to the way things were. It cannot happen without you.
So let us summon a new spirit of patriotism; of service and responsibility where each of us resolves to pitch in and work harder and look after not only ourselves, but each other. Let us remember that if this financial crisis taught us anything, it’s that we cannot have a thriving Wall Street while Main Street suffers - in this country, we rise or fall as one nation; as one people.
Let us resist the temptation to fall back on the same partisanship and pettiness and immaturity that has poisoned our politics for so long. Let us remember that it was a man from this state who first carried the banner of the Republican Party to the White House - a party founded on the values of self-reliance, individual liberty, and national unity. Those are values we all share, and while the Democratic Party has won a great victory tonight, we do so with a measure of humility and determination to heal the divides that have held back our progress. As Lincoln said to a nation far more divided than ours, “We are not enemies, but friends…though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection.” And to those Americans whose support I have yet to earn - I may not have won your vote, but I hear your voices, I need your help, and I will be your President too.
And to all those watching tonight from beyond our shores, from parliaments and palaces to those who are huddled around radios in the forgotten corners of our world - our stories are singular, but our destiny is shared, and a new dawn of American leadership is at hand. To those who would tear this world down - we will defeat you. To those who seek peace and security - we support you. And to all those who have wondered if America’s beacon still burns as bright - tonight we proved once more that the true strength of our nation comes not from our the might of our arms or the scale of our wealth, but from the enduring power of our ideals: democracy, liberty, opportunity, and unyielding hope.
For that is the true genius of America - that America can change. Our union can be perfected. And what we have already achieved gives us hope for what we can and must achieve tomorrow.
This election had many firsts and many stories that will be told for generations. But one that’s on my mind tonight is about a woman who cast her ballot in Atlanta. She’s a lot like the millions of others who stood in line to make their voice heard in this election except for one thing - Ann Nixon Cooper is 106 years old.
She was born just a generation past slavery; a time when there were no cars on the road or planes in the sky; when someone like her couldn’t vote for two reasons - because she was a woman and because of the color of her skin.
And tonight, I think about all that she’s seen throughout her century in America - the heartache and the hope; the struggle and the progress; the times we were told that we can’t, and the people who pressed on with that American creed: Yes we can.
At a time when women’s voices were silenced and their hopes dismissed, she lived to see them stand up and speak out and reach for the ballot. Yes we can.
When there was despair in the dust bowl and depression across the land, she saw a nation conquer fear itself with a New Deal, new jobs and a new sense of common purpose. Yes we can.
When the bombs fell on our harbor and tyranny threatened the world, she was there to witness a generation rise to greatness and a democracy was saved. Yes we can.
She was there for the buses in Montgomery, the hoses in Birmingham, a bridge in Selma, and a preacher from Atlanta who told a people that “We Shall Overcome.” Yes we can.
A man touched down on the moon, a wall came down in Berlin, a world was connected by our own science and imagination. And this year, in this election, she touched her finger to a screen, and cast her vote, because after 106 years in America, through the best of times and the darkest of hours, she knows how America can change. Yes we can.
America, we have come so far. We have seen so much. But there is so much more to do. So tonight, let us ask ourselves - if our children should live to see the next century; if my daughters should be so lucky to live as long as Ann Nixon Cooper, what change will they see? What progress will we have made?
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment. This is our time - to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American Dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth - that out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope, and where we are met with cynicism, and doubt, and those who tell us that we can’t, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:
Yes We Can. Thank you, God bless you, and may God Bless the United States of America.

A tale of two cities (states)

One up North and another down South. What do you make of it?

I have a dream...

In less than 72 hours, the dream of having a colored person becoming the next President of United States will come true. I am glad I have lived to see this day. I am glad I have experienced March 8 and I am glad November 4 will bring new hope and dream for the people of the world. Let's pray for peace and tranquility. It's the only thing that we have...
