Of Blogging and Blagging about Names

Somebody logged in from the Ivory Coast yesterday to read my blog according to Google analytics. The country is currently paralysed and on the precipis of civil war so I can't but help wonder why anyone has the time to read a blog about a bloke in Antrim trying to make an honest crust. May be it was a Brit in the embassy out there twiddling his thumbs on the Internet whilst awaiting the order to evacuate.

On the subject of far off places I note that Baby Doc Duvalier who landed in Hiaiti last week to save his old country has been arrested and faces charges of embezzlement from when he ruled the place all those years ago. The reports are that he robbed the state coffers of millions if not billions of dollars. This is before you consider his record on human rights atrocities. Give him life say I less a few years for having a name that any president would relish. It even gives "Goodluck Jonathan" in Nigeria a run for his (stolen) money...
