If Madonna were suddenly vaporized in a terrible microwave popcorn accident, I don't know that it would elicit more from me than idly wondering if it was Orville Redenbacker's buttered or kettle corn, and hoping that it wasn't scorched. I hate scorched popcorn. Um... If she wants another African, more power to her. |

If you want trouble, find yourself a redhead
|
Certainly. Madonna has an image to maintain and every woman knows the right accessories are essential. |

![]() I was going to ask why she wanted another one. Maybe she's been snacking on the first one, and it's like potato chips: You can't have just one. |

I heard some treehugger type getting inteviewed on NPR about this a few days ago, they were hand wringing about the kids being removed from their "native culture" and the harm that might do to them, even though they were orphans. You see, the village raises the child even without parents. That, compared to being raised by an ultra wealthy first worlder. And the treehugger, in the interest of the child, wanted to prevent the kid from being the child of that ultra wealthy first worlder. |

![]() Which crazy-assed hippies do we believe? The ones that say we haven't done enough to help Africa and that Americans don't care about Africa, or the ones that say we might damage the precious little child by taking him out the slum of disease, despair, and death and actually helping him by giving him an education, vaccinations, and decent medical care? People are just downright f'ckin' crazy.... |

She might have a point. Take a look how f*cked-in-the-head children of American celebrities are. Money can't buy me love, but it sure can pay for a lot of analysis. |

I think that's mostly sampling bias. We remember the negatives and are never informed of the positives. I assume that any quantitative analysis of how kids turn out would find that kids of the wealthy (or even the famous and wealthy) are advantaged. |

Hey, let's enact a policy to ensure that none of our orphans ever have a chance of a snowball in hell of getting adopted and moving out of this lice infested hell hole we euphemistically call a country. |

I wouldn't be caught dead with an adopted american kid. They went out of style like two years ago. I'm leaning towards a Morocan orphan, but I'm usually indoors, Morocans have a luster in natural sunlight but under incanescent lights they appear dull and listless. And I swear EVERYBODY is getting a Morocan these days. They'll laugh when I get my Nigerian today but they won't be laughing in 10 years when Nigerian 10 year olds will be what EVERYBODY wants. |

There are 203 sovereign countries in the world -- collect them all! I wonder if Madonna ever trades with Branjolina : "I'll give you a Cameroonian and a Mali for a Burundian and a Djiboutian." "No way! Those Djiboutians are worth like 3 Malis!" |
