Wow! What an incredible tale this is, from last night's "Moment of Geopolitical Geek" segment of the Rachel Maddow show on the MSNBC network. (Does it air much outside the US? I've got no idea! But I hope at least the following embedded video from their website works internationally. Otherwise, here's a direct link to the video.)
Its a tale that has everything: international geopolitical intrigue, fossilized bird poop, international money-laundering scams, overexploitation of natural resources, Russian mobsters, failed musical theater investment scams, international fugitives... er... asylum seekers from Australia, political corruption all the way up to the UN, the seamy underbelly of globalization, all set on a tropical Pacific island nation that went from having one of the highest per capita incomes to desperately broke within a decade!! Oh, and did I mention fossilized bird poop?!
Tell me that isn't a tale with a little bit for everybody - even the masala grinders of Bollywood would be hard pressed to cram so many ingredients together into such a juicy package! So why isn't this story in the movie theaters? Or on our televisions in serialized form? Is there at least a bestselling book with all the sordidly entertaining details? One hopes... but for now, we have a gem of an under-five-minute news report thanks to the brilliant Rachel Maddow, who is giving the Daily Show a run for their money, not with fake news, but real news! Remember that concept? No wonder she's rapidly become the brightest star in American TV news. So, without further ado, allow me to share with you: "Poop Dreams"

With dul kadinlar that track record, padding my bank account seemed like the least my ovaries could do for me. My mother cried when I sold my ova. Friends said, "I would never do that." Older women swore I'd regret it. But I do not miss those 12 eggs, hardly ever think of them, wouldn't know them if I passed them in the street.
