It is a different world out there.

A rancher in Nevada, Cliven Bundy has been grazing his cattle on government land for free. A court ordered that his 500 head of cattle be seized but Bundy and his heavily armed supporters fought off government rangers when they arrived. Several Republicans have openly supported his actions. Speaking to reporters Bundy said," I want to tell you one more thing about the Negro." Saying that they were all on government subsidy he says," They didn't have nothing for their kids to do. And they didn't have nothing for their young girls to do. And because they were basically on government subsidy, so now what do they do. And I've wondered are they better off as slaves, picking cotton and having family life and doing things, or are they better off under government subsidy? They didn't get no more freedom. They got less freedom." Perhaps, it explains why Obama cannot get anything past the Republican controlled House. Maybe, he should be out picking cotton and having a family life, doing things. In Minnesota, 65 year old Byron Smith shot dead a 18 year old girl and her cousin, a 17 year old boy and stashed their bodies in the basement on a tarpaulin, to prevent blood stains on his carpet. After shooting the boy he said," You're dead." As in the Hollywood film ' Rush Hour '. And to the girl he said," You're dying..... bitch." Why the teenagers broke into his house is a mystery but his reaction can be explained by another story, this time from Tennessee where police arrested a 19 year old girl for driving without a licence. When examined in police lock-up she was found to have hidden a  stolen 4-inch, 22-calibre, loaded mini revolver in her vagina. It explains why US police are so keen on cavity search, sometimes illegally. When they do not know who is packing heat they do not want to take any chances. Meanwhile in Britain Manchester United, owned by the American Glazer family, has sacked manager David Moyes. Moyes never really had any chance taking over from Sir Alex Ferguson, perhaps the most successful manager in soccer history. But it was not all his fault because some of the players were not performing for him. Which is not surprising considering that some had betrayed their national team during a world cup. Paying 300,000 pounds a week to Wayne Rooney was a mistake. He is good but not that good. Moyes has been temporarily replaced by Ryan Giggs who was having an affair with his brother's fiance who had to have an abortion 2 weeks before her marriage. Seems like a different world altogether. Maybe, that is why Indians are so keen to go abroad.
