Managua…

Shit.

I’m still in managua….

There is an all volunteer conference right now so every volunteer in the country is together.  If that’s not party worthy I don’t know what is.  Also, worry not about Thanksgiving because I will be eating with an Embassy family.  I can’t say that it will taste like normal thanksgiving at the Casa de Reynolds because our normal fare can be slightly untraditional.  Mmmmmmm.

Here is an article on our swearing in ceremony in the National newspaper

Apparently Kramer isn’t so quirky and hipster as we thought he was. He just hates niggers:

Michael Richards exploded in anger as he performed at a famous L.A. comedy club last Friday, hurling racial epithets that left the crowd gasping, and TMZ has obtained exclusive video of the ugly incident.

Richards, who played the wacky Cosmo Kramer on the hit TV show “Seinfeld,” appeared onstage at the Laugh Factory in West Hollywood. Kyle Doss, an African-American, told TMZ he and some friends were in the cheap seats and he was playfully heckling Richards when suddenly, the comedian lost it.

The camera started rolling just as Richards began his attack, screaming at one of the men, “Fifty years ago we’d have you upside down with a f***ing fork up your ass.”

Richards continued, “You can talk, you can talk, you’re brave now motherf**ker. Throw his ass out. He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! He’s a nigger! A nigger, look, there’s a nigger!”

The crowd is visibly and audibly confused and upset. Richards responds by saying, “They’re going to arrest me for calling a black man a nigger.”

One of the men who was the object of Richard’s tirade was outraged, shouting back “That’s un-f***ing called for, ain’t necessary.”

After the three-minute tirade, it appears the majority of the audience members got up and left in disgust.

U.S. museum removes art exhibit that includes deep-fried American flags

CLARKSVILLE, Tennessee: An art exhibit featuring deep-fried American flags, complete with peanut oil and black pepper, has been removed by a museum director in this military-friendly town.

Art student William Gentry said his piece, “The Fat Is in the Fire,” was a commentary on obesity in America.

“I deep-fried the flag because I’m concerned about America and about America’s health,” he said.
