Happy Mothers Day !

And the week wraps up splendidly with Mother's Day and moms loved my gift a lot, being a very good son for the day...most of the time :) Going to California Pizza in a bit to celebrate this important day. One way or another, I'm gonna chew em pizzas, ain't no stopping me !!

With this, I think I'll do a rundown of some important things that happened this week around the world ! Don't worry, while it is very tempting for me to do a Diva thing and biatch about my poor poor poor mouth as usual these days :(( sniff sniff sob sob sob sob sniiifff........eer....I won't..so rest assured readers !

On the international scene, Somalian pirates hijacked the Moscow University tanker only to find their would-be-hostages locked up safely in a panic room. With their safety assured, Russian special forces nearby did wonderful raid on the ship that freed the all hostages. There was a brief firefight in which one of the pirates was killed and his 10 other comrades surrendered after that. There were no casualties on the Russian side. All in all, it was great daring hostage rescue at high seas.

Apparently the pirates have all been released but some blv they have been....killed. Let's not speculate on that just yet but as a matter of fact, the Russians are brutal. You never want a Russian to be your enemy. It's almost as bad as having an American as your enemy ! If it's true, can't really criticise either, because if the pirates were to be released they would go back to a failed state and let loose again..we can thank the Americans for that, they supported the downfall of the previous Islamic government by aiding the Ethiopian invasion, going as far as bombing targets under the pretext of "war against terrorism". Ok, fair enough. But the Americans left without having a follow up plan and left Somalia in tatters without so much as battin an eyelid. That Islamic government was the first real gov the Somalians had in a long time (they were in a pretty bad civil war before that) and that was just torn down in a day or two. Now the country is back in a very bloody civil war and the same more radical Islamists are again about to win. The logic of some nations..astounding.

In the UK, the Conservative won the general elections by a simple majority, hung parliament ! I learnt that in my Comparative Politics a while back, time to put it to good use :D They have a pretty big number of votes so it is possible to get the Liberal Democrats to form a coalition gov with them. Labour is trying to this as well but IMO, they kinda lost so the Conservatives should have a chance to form the gov. I don't really like the Conservatives though, back in the 90's they had policies that may have encouraged the genocides that happened in former Yugoslavia.

Oh and the Nigerian President passed away. That it for me ! Happy mother's day all ! Have a blast ;)
