Lol. It's nice to know you try to be mean.
You're not naturally mean, right?

Yeah, she's normally...erm...well...being a mean person is a step up. :wink:

Anyway, to the topic at hand:

I read that the "UN name as the world's most corrupt political leader and target for the recovery of up to $US35 billion ($39 billion) stolen during his three decades in power.". Does this mean he's in the Guinness Book of records?

The article also mentions "HEADS bowed, the world's top anti-corruption officials and experts stood in Bali to observe a minute's silence for deceased Indonesian dictator Soeharto.". WTF? Does that make any sense at all?

"Heads bowed", I'd like to think means that they were keeping an eye on his coffin in case he tried sneaking away.

The world's top anti-corruption officials and experts stood with their heads bowed, etc?

Why would anti-corruption officials bow their heads for the most corrupt politician on the planet? Even if he is dead. Is that not more than a little odd?

Maybe this is the very argument about 'respect for the dead', when really there should be none, at least from some quarters.
