George Bush: Pardon All the Turkeys
Nov 22nd
New Rule: The president can’t pardon just one or two turkeys this Thanksgiving. He’s got to let them all go.
It’s probably too much to expect from the man who wanted “no child left behind,†then vetoed health care for kids. But think of the upside. Freeing the turkeys might help the president’s credibility when he says things like, “We don’t torture.â€
Take a look at this video, shot just last month at a typical American turkey slaughterhouse, and this one, shot undercover last year at a Butterball slaughterhouse by investigators from PETA, and you’ll see that my use of the word is no exaggeration. Butterball employees, taking a page out of the Abu Ghraib handbook, laughed while they kicked, punched, stomped, and even sexually assaulted turkeys.

Extreme poverty doubled in Southern Africa in 20 years
Nov 20th
EXTREME poverty in sub-Saharan Africa defined as people living on less than $1 a day has almost doubled in 20 years, according to the latest World Development Report, published by the World Bank.This was in contrast to the overall trend in developing countries, where poverty has declined, mainly due to faster economic growth in China and India.
According to the World Bank, the proportion of people living in extreme poverty in developing countries dropped from 40% to 21% of global population between 1981 and 2001.
However, the bank’s report highlighted “worrisome trends” in subSaharan Africa, where the number of people in extreme poverty climbed to 314-million in 2001 from 164-million in 1981.
“Moreover, Africa represented the one region where the proportion of very poor people increased, rising to 46,5% in 2001 from 41,6% of the population in 1981,” the bank said.
The main reason for the rise in poverty was a 15% contraction in gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in the region over the 20 years. In contrast, GDP per capita in China rose by more than five times since 1981.
François Bourguignon, the bank’s chief economist, said China and India’s growth performance helped deliver a “dramatic reduction in the number of poor”, which could result in the development goal of halving poverty worldwide by 2015 being met.
However, the goal which was agreed by 189 countries at the United Nations in 2000 may be beyond the reach of some poorer countries, the bank’s report said.
The bank’s president, James Wolfensohn, said at a press briefing that the objective of poverty eradication was being sidelined as the countries focus on issues of global terrorism. With Sapa-AFP
