Prince Muqrin's Name is Pretty Cool

Crown Prince Muqrin bin Abdulaziz
                                                
That's basically all I have got concerning the recent death of king Abdullah of Saudi Arabia. He was of immense age and was succeeded by his 79 years old brother, king Salman, which is also a cooler name than Abadullah.

On MLK Day, Despair and Hope

Martin Luther King, Jr.

Martin Luther King, Jr. is arguably one of the most loved and respected historical figures, his impact on American history is unparalleled and unrivaled. It is easy to forget that before Dr. King started his fight, black people in the United States were considered and were treated as second class citizens. It was codified in the laws and an entire segment of the population was treated very badly in a country whose creed claimed to be that all men were created equal.

Charlie Hebdo






(Je commence par m’ excuser, parce que mon français n’est pas a la hauteur, mais je pense qu’il est important que mes lecteurs français puisse lire mes pensées infiltrées. Je n’ai pas ecrit en Français il y a longtemps, je demande pardons des mes fautes aussi grammaticales que stylistiques. Merci beaucoup.)
Hier, une tragédie c’est abattue sur le 11ème arrondissement de Paris, un acte de terrorisme et d’attaque sur la liberté d’expression et de religion. La rédaction de Charlie Hebdo, le magazine humoriste et satirique dont les dessins profanes faisait rire et penser, a été décimée dans un acte lâche. Mes condoléances aux familles qui ont perdu des pères, des frères, des soeurs et des enfants.  Le monde entier est avec vous dans votre douleur et chérit leur sacrifice pour la liberté d’expression.

Syriza, Greece and Europe





It has been a hot debate in the corridors of power in Brussels, Berlin, Paris, London and the whole European Union. Will Greece remain in or get out of the Eurozone? Recent events in Greece have brought this improbable question to the forefront of the political discussion.
