Blogging on Darfur

   As you may recall I've been covering the Darfur situation in this blog a bit.
   Anyway, the United Nations Special Envoy to Sudan, Dutch diplomat Jan Pronk has been expelled by the Sudanese government ... for blogging about the Darfur conflict!
   "It is not his right to comment," says the Sudanese Minister of Foreign Affairs. A BBC correspondant reports that Mr Pronk's blog "has got him into trouble before, and he has ignored requests from within the UN to stop writing on it."
   The specific quote that has caused this diplomatic crisis: "The morale in the government army in north Darfur has gone down - some generals have been sacked; soldiers have refused to fight" (Oct 14th) (source: BBC)

   Such sauce! Clearly, Mr Pronk needs to discover the art of friends-only entries!


Completely Unrelated Picture of the Day

   I had to go with the ellipse here because Kristy saucily dangled her foot in front of me when the picture took. Bailey is wearing a shirt because he had a skin fungus on his back he kept licking ... at first he was bothered by the shirt but soon he got used to it and would stroll around like it wasn't there.

Bailey is currently upon my lap licking my arm.

It was a bacterial infection, not a skin fungus.
Also Bailey was never bothered by the t-shirt, except for when he was on his bad catnip trip yesterday. In fact, when I put it back on him he started purring.

Oh goodness, I'm sorry I ruined the picture, I was just trying to protect my Russian kitten from the unwanted paparazzi! Thank goodness my foil didn't work, she looks quite adorable posing with her cat-son.

Missing.

Though he wasn't wearing pants to start with, Bailey had a bad trip on catnip the other day, took off his shirt and ran around naked!!

O= what kind of trouble are you trying to cause? She's Kristy's best friend so she's often about when I'm marauding with my camera! /=

The girl is mine!

He better like her, she is my future wife. I mean, who wouldn't want 123 pictures of her?

Plus, we have a son together, Kris doesn't stand a chance.

i don't know about this conversation...

NO CHANCE KRIS. NO CHANCE.

lets say Kris' inappropriate picture-taking in manner of sirpsychosexy with respect to "saucysashie" turns out well approx. 5% of time. therefore...he has to take a lot of pictures.
