Washington D.C.’s subway system – called Metro – was pressed to the limit on Inauguration Day. Riders began streaming into the system eight hours before Barack Obama was sworn in as America’s 44th president, and subway stations close to the Capitol were near paralysis. After the inauguration, Metro was overwhelmed again as the huge crowds sought to leave the National Mall.

The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated fowl, a subspecies of the Red Junglefowl. As one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, and with a population of more than 24 billion in 2003, there are more chickens in the world than any other species of bird. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food, consuming both their meat and their eggs.
The Singapore presidential election of 2011 is the fourth Singapore presidential election to be held on 27 August 2011. Nomination day for eligible candidates was held on August 17, 2011. The incumbent President S.R. Nathan’s term is to end on August 31, 2011. He could have sought re-election as there are no term limits, but declined to do so.
Four candidates were issued certificates of eligibility by Singapore’s Presidential Elections Committee. As all four candidates are expected to stand nominated on Nomination Day, this would most likely be the first contested election since the 1993 election, and the first multi-candidate presidential race in Singaporean history.

A parody (pronounced /ˈpærədi/; also called send-up, spoof or lampoon), in contemporary usage, is a work created to mock, comment on, or trivialise an original work, its subject, author, style, or some other target, by means of humorous, satiric or ironic imitation. As the literary theorist Linda Hutcheon puts it, “parody … is imitation, not always at the expense of the parodied text.” Another critic, Simon Dentith, defines parody as “any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice.” Parody may be found in art or culture, including literature, music (although “parody” in music has an earlier, somewhat different meaning than for other art forms), animation, gaming and film.
The writer and critic John Gross observes in his Oxford Book of Parodies, that parody seems to flourish on territory somewhere between pastiche (“a composition in another artist’s manner, without satirical intent”) and burlesque (which “fools around with the material of high literature and adapts it to low ends”).

The United States is broke, but enough money has been set aside for Presidential Parties, complete with the best foods, wine, cigs, you name it. As a citizen, you should mind your own business and worry about you instead of the PTB!
SINGAPORE: Singaporeans will go to the polls to elect a new President on August 27.
It will be a four-cornered fight between medical doctor Tan Cheng Bock, investment adviser Tan Jee Say, and directors Tony Tan and Tan Kin Lian.
They were confirmed on Wednesday as candidates in the Presidential race after no objections were raised at the close of nominations.
Returning Officer Yam Ah Mee officially announced the list of candidates for the presidential race at about 12.45pm.
All the candidates then gave a short speech to thank their supporters.
Dr Tan Cheng Bock, 71, said he wants the office of President to be a place for Singaporeans to unite and to promote multi-racialism in the country.
Mr Tan Jee Say, 57, said the primary purpose of the Elected President is to provide checks and balances.
Dr Tony Tan, 71, said the Presidential Election is different from the General Election and that the President must be above politics.
Mr Tan Kin Lian, 63, said his campaign slogan is to be the “Voice of the People” and urged Singaporeans to support him.
The candidates are now expected to go full swing into their nine-day campaign period.
Each candidate will be allowed to hold one outdoor rally at designated sites approved by the police.
The first Presidential Candidate Broadcast will be held on Thursday from 8pm to 11.30pm across various free-to-air radio and television platforms.
The Media Development Authority said the platforms are made available in all four languages to the candidates.
The first broadcast will be in English at 8pm on Channel NewsAsia and 938Live.
The Manpower Ministry has reminded employers that Polling Day on August 27 is a public holiday and should be treated in the same manner as any other public holiday.
It said all employees covered by the Employment Act are entitled to paid public holidays.
If an employee is required to work on Polling Day, he is entitled to an extra day’s salary for the day’s work, or be given a day off.
Employees who are not required to work on that day are also entitled to one day off-in-lieu, or be given one day’s pay, similar to other public holidays falling on a Saturday.
BREAKING NEWS – Barack Obama joins the Terrorist Tea Party!

Freedomworks Taxpayer March on Washington D.C. 9 12 09 – September 12 2009.
The Taxpayer March on Washington (also known as the 9/12 Tea Party) was a Tea Party protest march from Freedom Plaza to the United States Capitol that was held on September 12, 2009, in Washington, D.C.[1][2] The event coincided with other similar protests organized in various cities across the nation.[3] The protesters rallied against what they consider big government, the dismantling of free market capitalism, abortion, and President Barack Obama’s proposals on health care reform, taxation, and federal spending, among other issues.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Organizers of the event included the 9-12 Project, FreedomWorks, the National Taxpayers Union, The Heartland Institute, Americans for Tax Reform, Tea Party Patriots, and ResistNet. The event was also promoted by Fox News commentator Glenn Beck as a symbol of what he called “national unity” following the eight-year anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The march is the largest gathering of fiscal conservatives ever held in Washington, D.C., as well as the largest demonstration against President Obama’s administration to date.
Though many of the signs were close to the original Tea Party message of “Taxed Enough Already,” such as “Stop Obama’s Spending Spree,” some of the handwritten signs carried by protesters included statements such as “Liar Liar Pants on Fire!” and “Hey Obamacare! Hands off my body”. Other signs promoted Obama citizenship conspiracy theories, depicted the Obama “Joker” image, and compared Obama to Adolf Hitler. One protester commented that many signs were “expressing concerns about the tax burdens to be carried by “our grandchildren” and other signs he didn’t feel were appropriate to repeat”. Gene Healy, author and vice president at the libertarian Cato Institute, expressed the opinion that the signs generally focused on opposition to government bailouts, Obama’s proposal on health care reform, and the appointment of presidential “czars”.
Among the speakers at the rally were former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, chairman of FreedomWorks, and a small number of congressional Republicans including Representative Mike Pence, chairman of the House Republican Conference, Representative Tom Price of Georgia, Senator Jim DeMint of South Carolina, and Representative Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee. Pence said that “Americans want health care reform, but they don’t want government takeover”.
On February 17, 2009, Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, a $787 billion economic stimulus package aimed at helping the economy recover from the deepening worldwide recession. The act includes increased federal spending for health care, infrastructure, education, various tax breaks and incentives, and direct assistance to individuals, which is being distributed over the course of several years.
President Barack Obama signs the ARRA into law on February 17, 2009 in Denver, Colorado. Vice President Joe Biden stands behind him.
In March, Obama’s Treasury Secretary, Timothy Geithner, took further steps to manage the financial crisis, including introducing the Public-Private Investment Program for Legacy Assets, which contains provisions for buying up to $2 trillion in depreciated real estate assets.
Obama intervened in the troubled automotive industry in March 2009, renewing loans for General Motors and Chrysler to continue operations while reorganizing. Over the following months the White House set terms for both firms’ bankruptcies, including the sale of Chrysler to Italian automaker Fiat and a reorganization of GM giving the U.S. government a temporary 60% equity stake in the company, with the Canadian government shouldering a 12% stake. In June 2009, dissatisfied with the pace of economic stimulus, Obama called on his cabinet to accelerate the investment. He signed into law the Car Allowance Rebate System, known colloquially as “Cash for Clunkers”, that had mixed results.
The Congressional Budget Office and a broad range of economists credit Obama’s stimulus plan for economic growth. The CBO released a report stating that the stimulus bill increased employment by 1–2.1 million while conceding that “It is impossible to determine how many of the reported jobs would have existed in the absence of the stimulus package.”Although an April 2010 survey of members of the National Association for Business Economics showed an increase in job creation (over a similar January survey) for the first time in two years, 73% of the 68 respondents believed that the stimulus bill has had no impact on employment.
Will America change for the better after the 2008 election or will the status quo continue with Barack Obama or John McCain? Why do politicians always promise “change” but never deliver? As the election nears, I hear a lot of people say, as long as a democrat wins, things will improve. I guess they don’t remember that we elected republican George Bush to get away from democrat Bill Clinton’s foreign interventions in the 1990s.
As we continue toward the beginnings of a World War 3 like scenario, neither Barack Obama nor John McCain will slow down our military wheel that has been in motion since World War 2. Unless we stand up and fight this, the worldwide centralization of monetary and political power will continue until it’s too late to fight back. As we move toward a new world order, we must be more active in the political process and ignore the false left right paradigm or we will lose all of our freedoms.

“The night may be long but the day will come” these were the words of South Sudan’s President Salvar Kiir while delivering his maiden speech as Africa begot its 54th child. While acknowledging the herculean task that lay ahead in building a nation torn apart by decades of war, Kirr paid glowing tribute to the thousands of South Sudanese who were bombed, maimed or killed during the struggle for independence, including the iconic Dr. John Garang De Mabior. At the same time, Kiir offered amnesty to all rebels willing to surrender their weapons. Willis Raburu reports.
