M.I.A. gives birth
Sri Lankan rapper M.I.A., who was recently profiled in the New York Times as being a terrorist sympathizer, has finally given birth.
This comes after the rapper refused to not perform her megahit “Swagger Like Us” at the Grammys even though it was her due date.

The risked pregnancy gave fans a face with the name but immediately put her lyrics – which some say support the Tiger Tamil militia in Sri Lanka – in the spotlight.
One of the article’s most stirring quotes: “Frankly, she’s very lucky to get away with supporting, even indirectly, perhaps the most ruthless terrorist outfit in the world,” said Suresh Jayawickrama, a songwriter based in Colombo.
To put it bluntly, if the Grammys happened under the previous administration, M.I.A. would probably be branded a terrorist herself by none other than Dick Cheney. And she’d, be, forced to go, I dunno … M.I.A?
Some say if “Swagger Like Us,” catches on for the Oscars, M.I.A. will prolly be there to perform. Stitches and all.

YAY for her. Pregnancy isn’t a disability. I thought she looked beautiful… although I wasn’t crazy about the placements of those polka dots, lol. If she feels up to working then that’s great!
