Kuwait becomes more corrupt

1

 I cannot believe this new corruption index

The worse thing is: nobody is talking about it.

Some random facts about Kuwait’s place in the new index:

1. Kuwait drops 5 places from last year

2. Kuwait is more corrupt than Namibia and Cape Verde.

3. Kuwait is tied with Cuba.

4. Kuwait was # 35 in 2003 and tied with Italy.

5. Qatar is #28, UAE #35, Oman #41 and is Bahrain #43.

6. In 5 years Kuwait lost a whole point (5.3 to 4.3).

7. Saudi Arabia is a point away at #80 (3.3).

8. Wealthy countries allow corruption to go unchecked.

Jem lands back on earth

 I had totally forgotten about her.

When I saw her second album out today I was surprised.

2003: Our history started when I fell in love with her debut.

2004: Well before its time, on a houseboat in Amsterdam.

2005: She got a funny bob. I ignored her.

2007: She released 2 lousy singles: “It’s Amazing” and “Crazy.”

2008: I disowned her. I got her album today in reprieve.

Down To Earth she called it. So far, not so good.

You can’t mix gospel and acid on the same album and expect it to be cohesive.
