		<content type="html"><![CDATA[	As expected, John McCain lived up to his billing as a war monger during his acceptance speech at the RNC. He called on Americans from all walks of life to continue the Bush administration doctrine to stand up and fight. <br /><br />"I'm not running for president because I think I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. I know how the world works. I know the good and the evil in it." he said<br /><br />"And I've found just the right partner to help me shake up Washington, Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. I'm not in the habit of breaking promises to my country and neither is Governor Palin. We've got a record of doing just that, and the strength, experience, judgment and backbone to keep our word to you. We believe in a strong defense." he added<br /><br />"I liked to bend a few rules, and pick a few fights for the fun of it. But I did it for my own pleasure; my own pride. Now I fight to restore the pride and principles of our party."<br /><br />Fight with me. Fight with me. Stand up to defend our country from its enemies. Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We're Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history. And I will fight.........for as long as I draw breath, so help me God....... <a href="http://businessinfocus.blogspot.com/2008/09/john-mccains-acceptance-speech-as.html">CLICK THIS LINK TO READ THE ENTIRE SPEECH </a><br /><br />Also Related:<br />*************************************<br /><a href="http://businessinfocus.blogspot.com/2008/09/barack-obamas-historic-nomination-full.html">Barack Obama's historic nomination full speech to the Democratic National Convention in Denver<br /></a>*************************************<img alt="" src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/37091906-5692409906541038338?l=africareadyforbusiness.blogspot.com' /> ]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[	Whenever I tell people that I am eccentric and that I have many interesting quirks they usually discount it until they meet me in person. I was just thinking of one of my quirks that I was sharing with a friend. It really turns my stomach when people use "da" instead of "the" ie da beat instead of the beat. I know it's meant to be cool and hip but whenever I hear that it sounds like nails on chalkboard to me. But no I do not speak in Ye Old English, I do use slang but irregardless "da" really bothers me.<br /><br />In other news I think I am going through severe dog withdrawal, you see before I came out here I have always had a dog or dogs. So coming out here and not having a pet would get to me sooner or later, me getting a dog of my own is out of the question. I don't think it would be fair to coop up a dog in an apartment the whole day while I'm at work, at least in Kenya they could run around in your compound when you were gone. So I have come up with a solution, I am going to start dating a woman who has a dog, preferably a gold labrador retriever with a friendly disposition. I can see some of you scowling, at least I'm not planning on using her for sex. This would be a beneficial relationship for the three of us; me, her and rover. I think I should begin drafting my must have a dog personal ad right now, wish me luck!<br /><br />I was reading this article in a scientific journal that posed the theory that, it is not that we forget things over time, it's just that we are unable to recall them. I've noticed that even though I forget alot of things like everyone else, in my mind I tend to like alot of things and that helps me recall somethings I was never even thinking about in the first place. I was online and I saw a picture of a comic called Secret Six, the next thought that came in mind was Secret Seven and after that the next thing I remembered was the name of the author of the Secret Seven, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enid_Blyton">Enid Blyton</a>. I was not a big fan of her books but I do remember that in primary school the library had quite a few of her books for the younger students. I guess the big lesson here is that if you want to remember something easily, associate something with it so recall will become a whole lot easier. Thats my PSA message for today.<br /><br />I have decided to take a break from highlighting fashion disasters to instead sharing some funny cartoons I found online.<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iGQqUeiNDEM/SMCoIvmZ_nI/AAAAAAAAAYc/jKqHZGMQPL8/s1600-h/mistranslations.png"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iGQqUeiNDEM/SMCoIvmZ_nI/AAAAAAAAAYc/jKqHZGMQPL8/s320/mistranslations.png" alt="" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iGQqUeiNDEM/SMCoYajBayI/AAAAAAAAAYk/iDjYJruubZw/s1600-h/techno.png"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iGQqUeiNDEM/SMCoYajBayI/AAAAAAAAAYk/iDjYJruubZw/s320/techno.png" alt="" /></a><br /><br />The cartoon above is funny to me because many techno songs are actually that repetitive! If you have the first 30 secs you have the whole song! Have a nice weekend people!<img alt="" src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/7486446-95849691233187707?l=mywordsonly.blogspot.com' /> ]]></content>
