music I play in the room.

That chicken is marvelous! I personally interviewed it at the civility
room.
kekadu1975_1:
The Economci Chicken promised me that it would increase the
supply of eggs to the market.

I read the ‘Kebur Minister’ story to that chicken and got it to lay
lots of eggs.

BARACK OBAMA:
The chicken crossed the road because it was time for a CHANGE!
The chicken wanted CHANGE!
JOHN MC CAIN:
My friends, that chicken crossed the road because he recognized
the need to engage in cooperation and dialogue with all the
chickens on the other side of the road.
HILARY CLINTON
When I was First Lady, I personally helped that little chicken to
cross the road. This experience makes me uniquely qualified to
ensure -- right from Day One! -- that every chicken in this country
gets the chance it deserves to cross the road. But then, this
really isn't about me.......
DR. PHIL:
The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that
he must first deal with the problem on 'THIS' side of the road
before it goes after the problem on the 'OTHER SIDE' of the road.
What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's >>>>
acting by not taking on his 'CURRENT' problems before adding
'NEW' problems.
OPRAH:
Well, I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is
why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the
chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of
life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive
across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.
GEORGE W. BUSH:
We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just
want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The
chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground
here.
COLIN POWELL:
Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite
image of the chicken crossing the road...
ANDERSON COOPER - CNN:
We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not
yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.
JOHN KERRY:
Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now
against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled
about the chicken's intentions. I am not for it now, and will
remain against it.
NANCY GRACE:
That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY!
You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.
PAT BUCHANAN:
To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.
MARTHA STEWART:
No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I
had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs
when the price dropped to a certain level. No little bird gave me
any insider information.
DR SEUSS:
Did the chicken cross the road?
Did he cross it with a toad?
Yes, the chicken crossed the road,
but why it crossed I've not been told.
ERNEST HEMINGWAY:
To die in the rain. Alone.
JERRY FALWELL:
Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain
truth?' That's why they call it the 'other side.' Yes, my friends,
that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become
gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this
abomination that the liberal media white washes with seemingly
harmless phrases like 'the other side'. That chicken should not
be crossing the road. It's as plain and as simple as that.
GRANDPA:
In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road.
Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was
good enough.
BARBARA WALTERS:
Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to
the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how
it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to
accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.
ARISTOTLE:
It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.
JOHN LENNON:
Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together,
>>>> in peace.
BILL GATES:
I have just released eChicken2008, which will not only cross
roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and
balance your check book. Internet Explorer is an integral part of
the Chicken. This new platform is much more stable and will
never cra...#@&&^(C% .......reboot.
ALBERT EINSTEIN:
Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move
beneath the chicken?
BILL CLINTON:
I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition
of chicken?
AL GORE:
I invented the chicken!
COLONEL SANDERS
Did I miss one?
DICK CHENEY:
Where's my gun?
AL SHARPTON:
Why are all the chickens white? We need some black chickens
GOSSIP for today
Finally, the chief priest of the Revolutionary Democrats dazzled a
group of economists that belong to what was once seen as the
strongest turf of his critics: The Ethiopian Economics Association
(EEA). The two predecessors of the current chief of the
association were Befekadu Degfie (PhD) and Brehanu Nega
(PhD); both later joined the rank and file of the opposition bloc
and were instrumental in forming the CUD. The rest is history, as
gossip corridors often quip.
It was a bit of a surprise to those at the gossip corridor to learn a
few weeks ago that Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has indeed
accepted an invitation from this association to give a public
lecture the latter organised at the United Nations Economic
Commission for Africa (UNECA) on February 9, 2008. Thumbs from
gossip corridor are up for Welday Ameha (PhD), the serving
president, for his success in persuading the Prime Minister to
address his members and others who were invited, including
diplomats.
The real surprise came when those attending saw the structure
and flow of argument Meles presented last Saturday, according
to gossip. In spite of one’s view whether or not to agree with
what he was saying, many were disarmed by his calibre in
articulating his positions over the fate of economic liberalism in
Africa. Last Saturday was not, however, the first venue for Meles
to present his paper on the subject.
In a nutshell, “Dead-End: Neo-Liberal Paradigm in the African
Renaissance”, is believed to be a paper Meles wrote as a
synopsis to his doctoral dissertation. First presented at an
economic conference in the United Kingdom (UK), in the presence
of Joseph Stiglitz, his intellectual guru, the paper rejects the neo-
liberal economic policy conviction that market forces should be left
alone to fix what goes wrong with the economy; and states
should be small in size and limited in their roles.
Alternatively, the Prime Minister argues that states should have
much bigger roles in an economy, which has an objective of
introducing development to society. The state, as opposed to an
institution with a limited role, could be used as an agent of
growth provided that it is a developmental state.
The bastion of intellectual resistance has been dazzled by the
persuasive power of Meles, claims gossip. It appears that the
Prime Minister is disarming his vocal critics one after another,
judging from his series of public appearances to talk to various
groups from youth to residents and from universities’
communities across the country to members of the Diaspora on a
visit during the millennium festivity.
Gossip disclosed that his next destination to make his case
against neo-liberal economic policy prescription will be Harvard
University, in the United States (US). According to gossip, an
invitation has already been extended. Perhaps there, some at
the gossip corridor look forward, somebody will pose a challenge
to him that he is up against an economic theory that has never
been tested on African soil, and is thus hard to argue that neo-
liberalism indeed reaches a dead-end.
