Ecuador's President Renamed A Series Of Unprintable Words On Wikipedia

Ecuador's President hasn't been making many friends within the media community lately, to the point that Anonymous currently has the country under attack. One of the crowning jewels showed up this morning on Wikipedia.

I can't print it. I won't even put up a picture. Just read the new name for Rafeal Correa on Wikipedia. If your version has no obscenities used as middle and last names under "Spanish naming conventions", then it's been caught. If not, well, this is a gem that insults both Correa and his mother.

I'm sharing because in the midst off all the political trash talking going on about the situation in the US, it really doesn't compare to what happens on the political scene. Also, can you imagine if this happened in the States?

No Need For Heels Here

I made the strategic error of wearing my four inch high heels out for the evening. This was a problem on a number of levels:
  • The native population is not naturally gifted in the height department
  • Rain + High Heels = Not Good
  • Four hours in heels walking and dancing exceeds my natural tolerance for pain
Out of the lot, though, I would have to say the height issue was the biggest thing. I'm 5 foot 6 inches tall, which is about average-ish back in the states. Here, that's on the upper end. Add in heel height and it was a sure bet that if he was tall enough to look me in the eye, he wasn't from around these parts.

Shoot. Now what do I do with those shoes?
