The long awaited nomination to the supreme court by Obama is finally here. Judge Sotomayor. The republicans could not wait to start bashing this one. Rush (BTW is he the republican spokesman?) calls her a reverse racist-whatever that means.
Her critics say she's not the most qualified even in the Hispanic judicial circles. I don't care-is she qualified enough to serve in the supreme court? Yes. Have the 150 plus opinions that she has written support her as a moderate as opposed to a radical? Read Left wing (for the republicans) Yes. Should her credentials be vetted-or course. This is a nomination if confirmed will last beyond Obama's presidency. Vet her yes but do not critisise her for being a woman, a Hispanic or one who supports the rights of the minority. Does being empathic automatically disqualify her? C'mon guys she's human not a robot.
May i remind republicans that her nomination to the district supreme court in NY was by George H.W.Bush so spare us the rhetoric and go ahead and do what we all know you will do-Confirm her for failing to do so will cost you the Latino not to mention the women vote which you so desperately need.
Barca...do me proud!

Bad hair day
Allow me to use the cliche 'bad hair day' cause that is what am going thru'. Don't get me wrong i have the time and money to do my hair but i just don't know what to do. Sometimes it's not as easy as walking into the salon and getting it done. It's not knowing whatto do once you are in there. So to save everyone's time and hoping that you come up with a solution, you go around with hideous hair.
babies...
Recently a good friend had a baby and my maternal instincts kicked in (i did not believe they existed @least not for me) It got me thinking, why all of a sudden? After all she's one among many of my friends to have a baby.
Is there an appropriate age to have a child? They say the risks are higher with delayed motherhood but what if the opportune time to have the lil brats is when am 45 WTF happens then? Do i deny myself the chance at motherhood or do i stride graciously into it understanding full well the risks involved and hoping that all goes well?

Mungiki
The recent killing in cold blood of 24 Kenyans by the outlawed mungiki sect is sad, unexplainable, unjustified and outright wrong. The mungiki are justifying this massacre with the killing of their own some days ago. Where is the police? Is this a nation that has gone to the dogs? Are we facing anarchy? I beg to differ. Ours is a govt.that has failed it's people.
A government's mandate among many other things is to protect her citizens. This Govt.and many before it has failed and continues to do so. Is a country as good as it's leaders? I do not believe that Kenya is in anarchy despite us taking the Law into our own hands more than once. I do however view it as a precursor to an uncontrolled society-God forbid. I hear all the time that mungiki is an outlawed sect, why then do they continue to terrorize the rest of us?
I have argued over time that mungiki is predictable. You attack one of their own they sure as hell will retaliate (as if it is a right) Shouldn't the govt.have watched out for the signs? You bet. You would think security would have been beefed up in this area and it's environs? Granted, there was no way to know where they would have staged their attack-they were going to anyway.
Ponder this for a moment. Why did the residents of Gathaithi, Nyeri choose to take matters into their own hands? Is it their frustration with this govt.? Is it justified? Are we supposed to regroup and form vigilantes against each other? Are we not still healing the wounds of the violence that rocked Kenya 07-2008.
My condolences go out to the bereaved families.
Stay safe.

Tabia mbaya
Walking about and spitting is a bad habit, actually it is disgusting. I saw this chic spit and its like she had something else to accompany the spit it was so disgusting that i struggled to swallow my coke...this should be done in the privacy of one's house and at least in the absence of your relatives or roommates unless of course they subscribe to like mannerisms.

Shoe Throwing
You would think this is redundant-A journalist throwing a shoe at a minister in India.
It was funny when Bush ducked it (how well he did that) not anymore. Makes you think it was probably the best thing he did while in office.
A few questions,
1. Do you then go and get your shoe back or does one bring more than a pair?
2. What if you are taken in by authorities (read dragged) is it not embarasing when you have one shoe on and probably torn socks?
Happy Easter y'all.
