Selena Meyers-Parodying the Office of the VP

Oddball VP
Though it started slow and is full of oddballs, Veep is one series that will slowly but unconsciously  latch on to you and soon you would be rooting for every ensuing episode of this silly series.

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss stars as Senator Selena Meyers who was elevated to Vice President of the USA and brought in a few characters into her office that are wholly inefficient and always doing the wrong things and at odds with each other.

Yes, there are sexual expletives which tend to wear off as the series progress.

I guess it must still have a wide following and continue to attract the advertisement buck for it to go into Season 3.

Currently, Senator Meyers have announced her candidacy to run for the next President of the USA after the current sitting President decided not to run after his first term.

The series airs of Monday in the USA and I guess if you do not have other exciting series to watch,Veep can certainly be a  worthy filler!

Tip of the Iceberg?

This titanic iceberg  downed the Titanic

We always hear the figurative use of the phrase," Tip of the Iceberg".

Do we know exactly what is the tip and what of the rest of it?

This photo shows you the true massive size of an iceberg.

 From top to bottom, it is awesome!

This photo came from a rig manager for Global Marine Drilling in St. Johns, Newfoundland. Canada.

They actually have to divert the path of these things away from the oil rig by towing them with ships!

Anyway, in this particular case the water was calm and the sun was almost directly overhead.

So that the diver was able to get into the water and click this picture.

The estimated  weight of this iceberg is 300 million tons!

An Estimate Above 30,000 Participants?

 
Packed like sardines on the road
The government estimated that not more than 5,000 people will participate in the May Day Rally organised to voice grievances to the impending GST implementation come April 2015.

But it was beyond most conservative estimates.

Discipline Mode
Some said it was a tsumani of humanity possibly from 30 K to 50 K.

Such a huge turn-out could possibly be because of the recent court ruling that it was not an offence not to give a 10 day notice to the police before a peaceful demonstration can be held.

Moving Mayday Juggernaut
Would you believe these pictures?

Deadly Creature

Imagine.

From a range of killers, it is shocking that man is the second largest killer, practicing genocide and war on his fellow countrymen.

Sadly, a known insect is the biggest killer of them all-the mosquito.

So, what has man done to advance medical science to rid the world of this scourge?

Imagine-Can this be an Italian Minister?

Is that a Standard Swearing in?
But then, she sure is.

That is Maria Elena Boschi signing the Register of Ministers after being formally sworn in.

 Noticed those extremely high-heel shoes of hers?

Vava Voom!
