...worst mother in the world, I'm better than death!" The comment was insensitive and reeked of arrogance. While Madonna's giving huge sums of money to charity is laudable, one needs an entirely different set of skills to be a good mother to an adopted child. I wonder whether Madonna understands that...
...makes one wonder if Winston Churchill's famous quip about democracy -the worst form of government except all the all others - is a bit less applicable to the running of a worldwide religion.

Why bother to vote when a simple majority is all that is needed for an entire state's Electoral College votes to go to one candidate? The U.S. is busy spreading democracy overseas yet has one of the least democratic electoral systems...
