Election and Blogs ( part one of many )

6 Comments

So the Election is back upon us again ( in less than a year none the less )

And it seem there is more interest this year in blogs than the election before it
two example i saw recently which draw my attention

First off , we have a candidate from Jahra , who even featured the blog in his Ad in the newspaper
and unlike the second example , is very active , but he need to talk more about what he is going to do , connect with his potential voters , not an article dump

The other example is Aseel AlAwadi , she had a blog but since the last election it was collecting dust and just posted a video saying she is going to go into this election also , waste of use of connecting to future and current supporters

Happy national Independence Day and libration day Kuwait, at this day 18 years ago Kuwait was liberated from Iraq occupation forces

What you mean I’m late? I’m sorry to inform you but I’m not late in my celebration of Kuwait national day, actually I’m a day earlier than the ministry of defense

From Kuna [Link]

KUWAIT, March 10 (KUNA) — Traffic at Kuwait International Airport will stop from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Wednesday for the Defense Ministry’s military air show to be held in Sabhan area.
Director of Operations at the Directorate General of Civil Aviation Essam Al-Zamel told KUNA all airlines were informed of the closure to change the timings of their flights.

Oh yes the ministry of Defense is going to have a air show on the 11th of March in celebration of the Kuwait Independence day ( which is on the 25th of February )

I wonder, do the USA display 4th of July Fireworks on the 20th of July ?

Blair to teach Kuwait how to Governt it self

Leave a comment

This Tidbit headup from AlQabas Daily , this is the link the actual posting in the daily telegraph

While AlQabas is reporting on a figure of more than a million Dollar , the clip at the source of the news clearly say its more

Tony Blair Associates, as the commercial partnership is called, has already signed up its first client, the government of Kuwait, which is understood to have agreed a seven-figure deal for continuing advice from the former Prime Minister.

Mr Blair is counselling the constitutional monarchy of the oil-rich state on “good governance”, according to his spokesman.

Seven figure = > 10,000,000 £ ( pound and not dollars )

clearly AlQabas while having a scope trying to downplay how much he got ( which result in failure , because we can cross check the news just as i did )

I hope we learn something usefull from Tony Blair

Oh yeah , Tony Blair handled Parliment grilling every week , Prime minister …. dealing with grilling … ( hint hint wink wink …)

AlSharq AlAwsat & Obama Coverage ..

Leave a comment

So i was reading AlSharq AlAwsat ( saudi newspaper printed in the UK & Kuwait among other places )
when i saw this [Link][Arabic]
ME_headline

it is a topic about Obama and how comerice is getting involvied

what got my attention is just random cut and paste , a bad
which is show in this paragraph

ME_Marvel

First they write Marvel Channel, when it’s an Entertainment company (which focus on comics)
That they present special shows (what? where?) And issue special Batman and Obama comic issue

Batman and Obama? While clearly in the pictures provided with the article it shows Spider MAN
(Owned by Marvel) and no Batman (owned by DC comic)

and you would assume a big newspaper like AlSharq AlAwsat would do a small fact check like NOTICEING THAT SPIDERMAN DOES NOT TRANSLATE INTO BATMAN !
