p2pnet news | Music:- “This is my country,” states self-inflating Irish pop star Bono.
What? Ireland?
Nope.
America,
“America is my country,” he declared fulsomely on receipt of Philadelphia’s Liberty Medal.
Launched in 1989, “the award has gone to a long list of freedom advocates that includes Nelson Mandela, Vaclac Havel, Kofi Annan, Bill Clinton and the man who bestowed the award around Bono’s neck, ex-President George H.W. Bush,” says the Philadelphia Daily News, adding:
“It includes a $100,000 cash prize, which Bono is handing over to the One Campaign, a grass-roots anti-poverty movement he launched here in 2004.
