What's The Issue

What's The Issue

Oh boy what a week. I wonder if Obama wiped his brow of a few droplets, maybe a fine misty spread, with relief of his term of office coming of age, when Russia paraded its military might across the Red Square in what was the biggest show of force from this military giant, ever, in the history of man.

If I was Obommer I would have breathed a heavy sigh of relief, mainly because the war mongers are gnashing their teeth eager to generate more millions, neigh billion, say trillions of turnover through another nice big fat war. So I wonder, was his absence from the Victory Day celebrations a calculated move, or did he get a case of Bang Broek and stay at home?

Russia was celebrating the 70th Anniversary of the defeat of Fascist German invasion of the homeland and Mikhail Gorbachev publically stated that Obommer was showing disrespect to all the nations of the Allied Union that defeated Nazism and saved the world from impending disaster.

We are spying on each other and ourselves at the most bizarre level in our history and now we have lies about lies about lies. We could believe anything they say now, because the truth is so ludicrous it sounds just like one of their lies.

Back at home spark were really flying when Allister Sparks added just one more name to an already substantive and comprehensive list of names, read at the DA's federal congress. What ever in his wisdom as a respected journalist, note the past tense, possessed him to add Hendrik Verwoerd's hazardous name to the list? Surely he realised that praising that name at that venue was in bad taste, so was done intentionally?

At least it was just sparks flying at the DA's congress and not bricks and punches like there were at other political parties congress meetings. If that is how these people behave then maybe there is hope for our young democracy after all. The way the man of the moment, Mmusi Maimane, handled the incident, really showed him in good light. My Man Maimane took over from the Madam. It could have happened long ago if you ask me, but you didn't.

Meantime our president wades through the flesh of our country with broad sweeping swipes of power, shutting down the inquiry into whether the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mxolisi Nxasana, is fit to hold his office, before it could even begin. Those lawyers have been busy I tell you.

The Brits have a new Government, well David Cameron lives on, perhaps deservedly so, and now he has a really powerful, conservative only, cabinet. A cabinet that has a lot of hope pinned on it, and with a quote from Cam that goes, "Every decision we take, every policy we pursue, every programme we initiate, never forget: we're here to give everyone in our country the chance to make the most of their life." Now he sounds like My Man Maimane. Maybe there is hope in this world after all.
