It's the end of May (actually, it's June 1st) and I wanna do something different. Here is my top 10 CNNI moments of May 2009
10) Opel deal saves Berlin's GM division -- yay
09) Trying out a coconut -- Andy Saputra 1, Arwa Damon 0 (BackStory)
08) Tweetathons from Rosemary Church, Kristie Lu Stout, Richard Quest, Errol Barnett, folks from BackStory, and so on.
07) Matthew Chance's a 'chance' encounter.
06) Undercover rep in Myanmar easily recognizable (thank you mute button)
05) 2 million displaced in Pakistan (very sad)
04) Susan Boyle's almost-triumphant run on Britain's Got Talent
03) Isha Sesay, Mark McKay, and Guillermo Arduino trying their hands at spelling
02) Barcelona wins Champions League (and Alex Thomas wins the bet over Pedro Pinto)
And the number one CNNI moment of May 2009:
01) Arwa Damon's grasshopper eating moment (and the liquor that comes with it)
These are my top 10 moments of CNNI this month. What's your top 10?

Friday's rant(s) -- May 8, 2009
I got a couple of constituents who tell me that 140 is a magic number... well, I actually told myself. So, one of them said that I got 413 tweets (as of now), 263 friends, 145 followers, yadda, yadda, yadda. Um, yeah, did I not mention that it would've been 269 if it wasn't for several slowpokes. Not naming names.
Alright, all three of us (me actually) are fans of CNN International's 5pm EDT show BackStory (awesomest effing show ever), but one of my constituents (me actually) watched today's show, and it's all because one of the CNNers (Arwa Damon, who is part of my so-called faves list, and so is Christiane Amanpour, Nic Robertson, among others, but specifically Arwa Damon) taped a BackStory that included eating a grasshopper. I actually don't eat anything alive (is it dead?), but after we saw it, did we lose our appetites? No.
Actually, I would never eat anything alive (it's dead right?) because I'm too scared like that, but given all that she has done at CNN, a personal message to Arwa, I'm placing bets that she is definitely 1000% woman enough to not say "I ain't eating nothing alive (dead) after this." Note to self: Stops at 100. Shut up.
Moving on, on a more serious note, Bob Jordan (WFTV ND. I live in Central Florida BTW), said there will be a story on some guy in the area who starved himself just because DCF was too lazy to help out with his problems. Look, people, I understand that more people are losing out on their jobs and other "American Dream" elements these days, and because of that, we do need folks like DCF (or CPS in the other 49 states) to help out. But given the fact that more and more people sign up for food stamps, it's an overboard, and there is a good reason folks like DCF (or CPS in the 49 other states) are overworked, but we still need their assistance.
Finally, a tidbits (well, not really) -- Go Magic (beat the Celtics)
