Today will be a fairly short post but a serious one (not a typical Stupid Cup Post).  Let us take a second and thank a group of people that should be brought up in front of the entire world, Presented with a prestigious honor of receiving the first internationally televised STUPID CUP Award. Yes lets’ hear it for Myanmar’s junta. Immediately after the presentation we will commence with their public flogging!!!!!  People we are talking over 50,000 now dead and or missing and this country’s leaders are doing very little to help their people. The international community is trying to help.  The aid is there, but it seems that the aid is not reaching the people that need it most. This junta is strong enough to run a country but not strong enough to ask for help, are they not strong enough to make sure their own people get the help they need. This makes me want to puke. How can a country’s leaders not do everything in their power to restore balance  after this type of devastation??? My heart reaches out to the people of Myanmar. I hope the leaders of this country remove their heads from their asses, and figure out they need to be true leaders in a time like this.

Also I hope everyone takes a second to think of the family’s in China as well.   Possibly 50,000 dead or missing in this country, after it was rocked by a huge 7.9 magnitude earthquake.  China’s Leaders seem to be doing everything in their power to help the people unlike our award recipients above.  I cannot imagine the horror of either of these events.
