Google and Obama? Is this the real dream ticket?
“Google Inc. Chief Executive Eric Schmidt will hit the campaign trail this week on behalf of Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama, signaling Mr. Schmidt’s push for a greater voice in politics while giving the Obama campaign a boost from a highly desirable constituency…”

Note though that Schmidt made it clear that Google was NEUTRAL in the elections.
Does ZanuPF need its own Sarah Palin?
I didn’t bother listening to anything the Republicans were saying up until August 29th when John McCain announced Sarah Palin as his pick for Vice President. My first reason for stopping was that this was a major point in the Presidential race, as had been Obama’s pick of Joe Biden barely a week earlier on August 23rd.
A young beautiful female Secretary General or Vice President would help ZANU (PF) not only to raise money, but to give a fresh youthful image to the line-up of party personalities.
The second reason I stopped was that I had never heard of this woman. I immediately googled her- as did millions of other people.
The third reason I stopped was that after googling, I found some pictures that made me ogle. I’m not saying Hilary Clinton, Margaret Thatcher and Angela Merkel are not pretty, but they are not exactly model material and in my head they make up the picture I have of a female politician in the west.
Then came Sarah Palin. Like I said I ogled. This was no politician. This was a beauty queen who at 44 years of age still looks like she could enter a pageant and win.
The thing is- and here’s the thing- I was not the only one who ogled. Around the world MILLIONS of people took second and third looks at the Sarah Palin pictures that came out in papers and on websites- and that’s what has made all the difference. Read more
Macheso to entertain McCain and Obama?
Imagine US presidential hopefuls John McCain & Barak Obama doing the the Borrowdale, Razorwire and Kangaroo dances! It surely will be a good way to ease them nerves before the November 4 election.
According to the Herald of Saturday, 20 September Alick Macheso and Orchestra Mberikwazvo will be touring the US for the first time.
The itinerary is as follows:
October 10 : Washington DC
October 11: Philadelphia
October 12:Boston
October 17 : Atlanta,Georgia
October 18 : Indianapolis, Indiana
October 25: Dallas
This is surely a chance for the King of Sungura to go international as his popularity has largely been limited to Zim, England, Southern Africa and Australia. This could also be an opportunity to sell Sungura “Museve” music to the outside world.
It is my hope that Sungura fans in the US will come en masse to support Chikopokopo and also introduce their foreign friends to Sungura Music.
Its a pity ‘Mabhanan’ana’, as Macheso’s dancing group is affectionately known as, will not make it on this tour. Don’t despair Matoki and Company there is always next time. Check for future updates on the tour on this page this page.
