NEWZ012 Kissing International Ass

Malian Coup Rejected by International Community; The Syria-Kofi Annan Peace Deal; Suu Kyi succeeds in Burmese elections; Paypal Swipe System Introduced; Worst Company in America Award

We kick off this week's newz with an attempt at understanding the different parties and elements involved in the recent coup in Mali. From there its back to Syria where the former UN Secretary General has struck a peace deal that has yet to be respected by either side. Meanwhile its a new day in Burma, thats what many are thinking as Aung San Suu Kyi's party makes significant gains in the recent election. Paypal rolls out another weapon in their arsenal of alternative financial tools, this time its about swiping. And to round out the week, the admittedly pathetic but mildly amusing Consumerist award for worst American company.
