The Week That Was

 The Hair rises to the top.  In an amazing show of ignorance and racism The Hair has ascended to the top of the Republican Presidential national polls.  The Hair appeals to the lowest form of conservative voter, racists, homophobes, the anti immigrant, anti Muslim and the white privilege crowd.  Even with NBC, Univision and and other business partners dropping him like underwater basket weaving 101 it hasn't stopped The Hair from inflecting his racism on the masses at every turn.
 The Hair hit back at Univision by banning them from using his golf course in Florida located next to Univision headquarters.  I'm sure that left a mark.  He'll also be suing Macy's, NBC Universal and Univision. 



Hideo Onishi a member of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party was "reprimanded" by the LDP for voicing their actual feelings about a free press in a public forum.  The editors of the newspapers in question both published in Okinawa slammed Onishi for his asinine remarks.  Last year the LDP sent letters to all of Japan's media outlets "urging" fair coverage in the run up to December's general election. What that letter really meant: LDP policies must always been shown in favorable light.



While America trumpets about freedom of expression and the press the NSA seems to be quite busy not only spying on America's allies but trying to thwart the press in those countries as well.  The NSA's ire was directed at the German magazine Der Spiegel which was involved in the publication of the documents from former NSA contract worker Edward  Snowden.

America loves telling the rest of worlds countries just how screwed up they are. Especially authoritarian governments. Yet, here's America acting just like a second rate dictatorship.




One has to wonder just how obtuse Japanese politicians are?  These people live in, either a parallel universe or  another dimension.  What else explains the ultra stupidity behind nominating  23 sites in the country six of which are associated with forced or slave labour to be designated World Heritage sites by  UNESCO.   That's like nominating the Confederate States of America as a symbol of racial tolerance.  


North Korea is so secretive that most of its citizens have no idea its called North Korea has decided to crack down on the use of the internet by the 50 people who actually have access.  Talk about abject paranoia.  It's like Richard Nixon wiring the Oval Office so he can spy on himself or The East German government hiring half of the population to spy on the other half.  What's Kim Jong-un afraid of?  That given enough information the good citizens of North Korea might rise up and over throw his fat ass after learning they're being allowed to starve just so he can get fat.
