Never give anything away or it becomes a "right"

South Africans are "demanding" an increase in AIDS funding from the Obama administration after they were told there would be none.
George Bush increased aid to Africa for AIDS related help during his administration and was and still is praised by many on the continent.
Obama has ignored, but not stopped, the efforts to continue helping the people of Africa (I guess you need to be White to sympathize with Africans).

The irony here is that you could (and some will) say that Bush set Obama up by being so generous just like Clinton set Bush up by handing out billions in grants for more cops that would go away after he left office, allowing the press to claim Bush was taking cops off the street.
Now Obama must continue sending money to Africa or be the (second) Black President that abandoned his ancestral homeland and it's people.

Glo-bull Warming Causes Fungus Issue?

A form of fungus that is known for attacking transplant patients and AIDS sufferers is spreading to healthy people and animals.
Cryptococcus gattii, which is airborne because it is spread by spore production is said to have a 25% mortality rate.
The report claims that the fungus is spreading into the Western portion of Northern US, and (of course) a link to climate change could not be resisted as the possibility of warmer temperatures helping its spread was raised after explaining that it can be killed by freezing.


If this fungus prefers warmer climes, would it not be originating from warmer regions?
I can predict the outrage if someone were to link the spread to the spread of HIV and AIDS.
