The Truth is out There!
"If you can't annoy somebody with what you write, I think there's little point in writing." Kingsely Amis
Where have all the journalists gone? Well, Greg Palast is the best example of truth that keeps on giving though he`s rarely welcome in the USA where "money talks" and the truth of the day is the latest quote from Paris whats her name? The major Media in North America is guilty of neglecting the truth and replacing it with a vacuum only comparable to the space between George W`S ears. But Palast (working for the BBC) champions a truth that is sorely cast in the direction of corruption in its lowest form. This is a truly sad story about the "Vultures" who steal American dollars intended for African "Aides Relief". A burr on the ass of social justice.

For all the good that the Bonos, Stephen Lewis`s, the Bill Clinton`s mightily try to accomplish for a tragic African Aides dilemma this seems to be a "circle jerk" of crass capitalism that is frustrating to imagine. If CNN did a serious piece on this it could make a difference. But they`re more interested in whether Hilary Clinton likes "diamonds or pearls"? This was a key question in a recent Democratic Leader`s debate. Now thats serious journalism!
"To me a real patriot is like a real friend. Who's your real friend? It's the person who tells you the truth. That's who my real friends are. So, you know, I think as far as our country goes, we need more people who will do that" Bill Maher Karma and truth or diamonds and pearls?
