    Oh yes.  He is first class.   And his wife would have strangled him if he turned it down.  So they went up.  He looks good… puffy but good.  (everyone I know goes up to the US and gets puffy… cept me. No matter where I am I don’t eat junk.

    No he does nothing surprising. I’m glad there are a lot of “eyes” on him though. I’m glad he mentioned “the people” and their ability to govern themselves in his inaugural speech. If he thinks he was just uttering “empty words”, he better think again.  A lot of US took those words very seriously.

    Head hunting agencies make good money. It’s not hard to scout out people with talent. The talented ones rise to the top so they can be easily seen. All they have to do is “dangle the carrot” and see if they will take a bite.   Most bite!  🙂

    I read, with some shock, about the prevalence of  ‘Granny Dumping’.   This is the disposal of older relatives, many with Alzheimer’s disease by their children or grandchildren.

    • Yes. I was shocked by it when I learned of the practice. It is terribly cruel and selfish.

    • Sad that some people have no conscience in doing that to their parents. How were they able to sleep peacefully, when they know that the very parents who loved and took care of them and gave them education, were put in a place where they cannot be disturbed.

      Good thing, here in the Philippines, majority of the old people are being taken cared of their children until their death. The children loves their parents that’s why.

    Although many countries are corrupt, the Top Ten seem to have exceeded.

    • There are reports that are published about the most corrupt countries and also the nicest countries. I remember seeing reports on both. I remember one report that said Ireland was one of the nicest or “goodest” countries.

      The information gathered about corrupt countries is informative but it is also very sad. The late Ray Charles sang a song with these lyrics: “None of us are free. If one of us is chained, none of us are free.”

      You or we … have a tendency to review these reports and breath a sigh of relief when our country is not in the Top 10. But then, you have to think:
      ~ Is there no way the people in those countries can be set free?

      If you’re in a corrupt country, with a ruthless regime, it’s worse than being a slave in chains!

    • I was scared we’d be in the top ten. We are in the top ten of the most dangerous cities…Kingston.

    • thank god india is not in this list …

    • Speaking corruption, the Philippines has a lot of corrupt officials. In fact, everyone is clamoring to enter politics because they want to enrich themselves through those projects being implemented in the place where they rule.

      But with us having a new president now, so bent in curbing corruption and in fact, have relieved the whole management of its Bilibid prison, where drug lords have their shabu laboratories.

      He has already a strict instruction that government employees should expedite all government trasactions and report those who asks for bribes.

      I Hope this is the beginning of at least the lessening if not for the eradication of corruption in the government.
