Christian Science Monitor’s article today, The Potential In Hillary Clinton’s Global Campaign For Women tells us “no other Secretary of State has so focused on women’s rights. It’s a powerful shift.” The editorial board of CSM states:
When Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Africa last month, she visited war-racked eastern Congo to speak [...]

Let me say right up front that I have absolutely nothing against Islam or Muslims in general. I certainly do not agree with the more conservative Muslim views on women, though. Not only does this article focus on conservative Muslims, Swimmers Are Told To Wear Burkinis, but the impact they have on non-Muslim [...]

Susan’s Notes: Well!!! It’s happened, after all the conjecture the past few days speculating if the two men would meet. Today, they shook hands. From the April 18, 2009 Times UK, “President Obama in historic handshake with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela“:
All the conjecture and today’s meeting reminded me of Truthteller’s excellent piece on [...]

Yes, this is not new. It used to be Tony Blair and George Bush and now it is, Gordon Brown and Barack Obama. The perfect pair of a lapdog and its master.
Here are some fun excerpts and pictures that prove my point, all from an article in the Daily Mail:
Oh Gordon, your smile! The [...]

This is a lovely exchange here, with everyone looking quite lovely as well. Although I wonder what is in the Queen’s purse. And do see what the UK media are tittering about, below the fold.

It’s always ABC’s Jake Tapper who gets the essential details (h/t B). Besides a great many [...]

Batchelor & Constable Simon Constable and I speak with puzzlement of the apparent fact that the all-powerful Prime Minister Gordon Brown of the UK does not enjoy respect in Europe or in his home country.

BELOW THE FOLD: Tim Geithner’s astoundingly unAmerican and patently STUPID statement today sends shockwaves around the world, and among ALL Americans who have fought for this country!
Original: This is one of the HOTTEST VIDEOS out there! Enjoy (or become enraged!) … and perhaps you can think of another politician to whom such a [...]

I have been working on this story, gathering information about Obama and his apparent diss of Gordon Brown’s visit the other day. I wondered if Obama’s diss on England and Gordon Brown had something to do with Kenya, but I didn’t know why, exactly. In my search for information, and answers, I came across one [...]

I, Bronwyn’s Harbor aka Lena Grove aka nasuSPCnU* and whoever else I decide to be (!) have noticed that some esteemed observers — more about those in a later piece, hopefully today — noticed that many of the world’s great economists were MIA from Barack’s very 20th-century economic group behind him at last Friday’s press [...]

1) Iceland considers bankruptcy. From the International Herald Tribune:
People go bankrupt all the time. Companies do, too. But countries?
Iceland was on the verge of doing exactly that on Thursday as the government shut down the stock market and seized control of its last major independent bank. That brought trading in the country’s currency to a [...]
