All the talk out there seems to be about Brittney making a fool of herself....again.Surprise,surprise!What did the VMA awards guys expect?I mean this chick has had 2 kids...these things take their toll.I think its time for Brittney Spears to find another baby daddy.Something tells me it's curtains on her career now.

I am all for the 'cruising' button everyone's pushing these days to conserve gas....not with the ever skyrocketing gas prices....but it's what people are doing with their hands and feet when the vehicle's on cruise mode on the highway that has got me bewildered these last few days.First,i saw a bloke eating like 3-course meals in free-flowing traffic....then some chick reading a soft sell magazine with her 2 feet on the dashboard in somewhat calmer traffic...but it was last week's experience that took the price....this young couple only stopped short of having sex behind the wheel! Now,i know none of these should be any of my business(i know i've been using my i-phone behind the wheels too)but somebody might get really hurt pretty soon!!Ask senator Larry Craig...although his type of 'cruising' is so different from the above examples...he likes other men(so?)..and he knows exactly where to find them....now i won't look at those airport toilet cubicles with quite the same eyes again.

I try to watch Glenn Beck on 'CNN Headlines news'..just because there's still something eerily amusing about these effete conservative show hosts who only think with their mouths...Glenn,Neil Cavuto,Bill Oreilly and even Lou Dobbs.Well,I'm also not a populist...that's why i came to America...so people like Michael Moore don't impress me neither.His Sicko Docudrama is the most laughable and under-researched piece of unintelligent humour i've ever seen.The concept that either Hillary or Obama can glide to the white house by simply promising a 'free' universal healthcare smirks of sensationalism.Even countries that currently have some form of universal health care...UK/Canada have their own doubts....as a matter of fact,the NHS was already cracking at the seams before i left the UK last year.

Whatever my admiration of Warren Buffet's successes,it's the guy's focus and discipline that earns my reverence.He still applies the same principles he did in the 70's...stuck in far far away Omaha,Nebraska leaving in the same old town-house.Only the very exclusively rich are Berkshire Hathaway shareholders now...i mean each share trades for $120,000 these days.But the fact he still drives himself around Omaha unescorted is remarkable..this is in a weaponized society where some dude got shot in Idaho last month just for pulling in ahead of some looney driver during rush hour traffic!

....recently my wife observed that it appears we are the only ones in the neighbourhood without a gun.Even our close family friends display a 'carrying concealed weapon'(CCW) tag on their vehicle.As long as the NRA maintains a stranglehold on who winds up in the white house,this trend will continue
...my pastor shocked the congregation last sunday by announcing that his security details carry 'more than bibles' in their pockets.Now i remember the complex security arrangements that enveloped Bishop Oyedepo before i left Nigeria.The point remains though that Jesus Christ never needed armed guards....i agree times have changed..and there are several crazy guys out there,or JFK and MLK would still be alive with us today!

Maclaren(the manager)had better stop this Hesky thing if it's an expensive joke.This guy is no Drogba and should be left in his wilderness.Some of us have been unimpressed by his "contribution" against Isreal and Russia.Even if Rooney remains injured,England can do better than partner Hesky with owen.

So Maclaren(the formula one company) has been spying on Ferrari's secrets...so what?i suspect neither Lewis Hamilton nor Fernando Alonso would mind very much...I hear hamilton may leave maclaren soon though.Watch this space.
