State of the world and the US.

The world's aflame in the Middle East. Tyrants tumble and things may change. Khaddafi slaughters peaceful protesters. The military is in charge in Egypt. I'm not sure what's afoot in Tunisia. Yemen and Bahrain are on hold. Palestine, Morocco and Saudi Arabia want to not be on hold. Al Jezeera is covering. The world is watching.

In the US, the Wisconsin governor is duped by someone impersonating an oligarch mogul to whom he like a sycophant kowtows. We are not the land of the free. We are the land-of-the-free-to-exploit-you. The oligarchs think the average worker makes too much. He or she should be poor. There should be no middle class.

I want to write a better post. Alas, I am aghast.

Hi!
My name is Clara and I study Advertising and PR in the University of Girona (Catalonia). We were asked to create a blog about whatever we wanted. I chose LGBT news as my topic. We were asked to get in touch with people who, in some way, were related to our blog and encourage them to comment our posts, follow us or add us on their blogrolls. As you will see it's in Catalan, but there's a translator in English which is quite reliable ^^ However, in some time I try to translate it myself ;)

I found your blog and I thought you could be interested ;)

Here's the link:

I really hope you like it.
Thanks for your time ;)

Hi. Thank you for choosing to follow my blog. I am amused that you are Catalan. I love Catalunya and have been to Barcelona twice: once when my partner was pregnant with our twins and in November 2009 when they were 7 years old. We also went to Girona on both trips because we were impressed that for several hundred years Muslims, Jews and Christians lived side by side. I reviewed your blog and am impressed. best wishes.
