I hope that encompasses all the female folk in your family, including your mother and your immediate sisters.

Women in an Australian Outback town are rallying against their local mayor after he called for “ugly ducklings” to flock to the city to relieve its drought of women.

John Molony, the mayor of the far north Queensland mining town of Mt Isa, called for “beauty-disadvantaged” women to head to the town because its lack of young, single females meant the local men – predominantly miners and cowboys – were so desperate for female company that they weren't as fussy as they might otherwise be when it came to love.

MandingoII:

But if NATO knows that Russia is willing to attack a country like Georgia over this type of dispute, it will be hesitant in giving Georgia NATO membership to prevent direct confrontation between NATO and Russia. That alone serves as a deterrent to other close by nations joining NATO. In addition, being hostile to Russia alone is not the issue - its seemingly going to the 'other side' as it were.

This military action will alienate Russia a bit, but will cause a rethink with regards to NATO's expansion eastwards, which is one of the aims of Russia. Yes the Russians have historic interventionist practices, but you don't see them sabre rattling with Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan, simply because those nations are not angling for a more western tilt and are happy to let things remain as they are.

President Victor Yushchenko raised the prospect of revoking an agreement that allows Russia to use the Crimean port until 2017 if Russian commanders defy the new restrictions. The presidential decree requires vessels blockading Georgia to ask Kiev's permission to return to the treaty port.
Reasserting control over its near neighbours is at the heart of Russia's foreign policy. It has ruthlessly cut winter energy supplies to secure compliance from Eastern Europe and used Russian-speaking minorities from the Baltics to Central Asia as leverage against states courting the West.
Mr Yushchenko joined the leaders of Poland and the Baltic states on a solidarity mission by a self-described group of "captive nations" of the USSR, to Tbilisi on Tuesday.
Even before yesterday's decree, Mr Yushchenko had faced domestic criticism for adopting positions that inevitably antagonise Moscow. Ukrainian political analyst James Hydzik said the president had put the country in Moscow's crosshairs. He said: "Protestations of neutrality from the Ukrainian government are not helped by the visit [to Tbilisi], at least from the Russian standpoint."
Russia has used a mixture of bluster and threats to resist efforts by Georgia and Ukraine to join Nato. But even states that are members of the EU are not immune from Kremlin intimidation. "In the Baltic states and Ukraine, independence is still seen as something fragile and not necessarily built to last," said Bartosz Cichocki, an expert at the Polish Institute for International Affairs. "So if it's not defended actively, it can't last."
In the aftermath of the Russian assault on Georgia, many former Soviet citizens doubt that the West can restrain Moscow. Even confidence in Nato's charter guarantee that all states will aid any member attacked from abroad has been shaken. "People are certainly afraid that Russia could attack Lithuania just like Georgia," said Lithuanian political scientist Kestutis Girnius. "And you see that kind of view among politicians," The legacy of Soviet domination still haunts Russia's relations with its former allies. "We came to fight since our old neighbour thinks that it can fight us," Polish President Lech Kaczynski said in Tbilisi. "This country thinks that old times will come back, but that time is over. Everyone knows that the next one could be Ukraine, then Poland."
Poland and the three Baltic countries yesterday raised objections to a French ceasefire plan, criticising it for not explicitly guaranteeing Georgia territorial integrity.

The nation may be in terminal decline, but no reasonable power will want to be encircled by foes in their own backyard. I hope Saakashvili now knows that sending troops to Iraq will get you little more than harsh words from Bush. . . . people are too concerned about their own hides to stick their neck out too far for you.

Prof. Ndi Okereke-Onyiuke, Director-General of the Nigerian Stock Exchange, and Chairman, ‘Africans for Obama 2008’, yesterday, raised over N100 million at an expensive dinner for Senator Barack Obama, the US Democratic presidential candidate, at the MUSON centre, Onikan, Lagos.

Okereke explained that her group organised the dinner in which over N100 million was contributed by influential members of the group as a way of booking for a buffet table, to create awareness that, for the first time in history, an African-American is on the brink of becoming the president of the United States of America.

She explained that there are over 5 million Africans living in the US with the right to vote, and advised them to rally support for Obama at the presidential election slated for November, this year.

PM.News observed that there were 56 buffet tables, each of them, it was learnt, cost the donors N2.5 million. On each table, there were champagne, red wine, beer, and various types of drinks. The tables were for influential and rich people in the society.

At the entrance of the Shell Hall, where the dinner took place, the floor was covered by a 25-metre-long rug with the inscription YES WE CAN, Obama’s campaign slogan. There were also very large posters of Obama at the entrance and the stage. The decoration inside was splendid with the roof covered with various colours. At the dinner, a documentary by celebrity presenter, Bisi Olatilo, was aired.

But not everybody had access to the hall. It was invitation for the influential people in the country and Africa. Okereke lashed out at journalist, saying that some of them have been writing ‘rubbish and nonsense‘ about her concerning Obama campaign. “ Some sceptical people have been writing nonsense and rubbish in the newspapers that what is my business with Obama. But they are free to continue to write petitions. It is not their money that we are spending. Ask them is it your money that we are spending?”

Okereke explained that ‘Africans for Obama’ is simply telling Africans in the Diaspora to vote for Obama because he is their brother. She also said that whoever becomes the American president is also the president of the world.

RichyBlacK:
As usual, still employing the use of dead-end logic.

Most historians would agree that the aggression of tyrants, in the modern era, climaxed in WW II, when Hitler and the axis powers destabilized the planet. After that, the United States pushed for the creation of the United Nations to forestall major man-made and deliberate calamities. However, in time, the US became blinded by her obsession with Communism resulting in the Cold War, and lost her moral compass. US aggression in the Korean Peninsula and in Vietnam began the weakening of a laudable vision (the United Nations and similar institutions). That decline continued with the US support of Iraq to wage war with Iran due to fears of a domino effect of the Iranian Revolution against the corrupt, US-supported Shah monarchy. The US did not stop there in her bid to kill her own baby (the United Nations and all institutions in that light), they continued by supporting Israel's aggression against Palestinians and invading Iraq because of her oil reserves. All these actions have emboldened tyrants everywhere, and the US has lost the moral authority it once commanded after the fall of the axis powers.

I think you need to get civilized

My grandfather is no a Russian neither is yours an American. So I don't understand why the abuses.

Sagamite:
But this appears to have some merit as she is giving a story in Church (place of truth ) weeks after the whole debacle.

If it is not true, why would she bother?
