Madonna tries to clean up her karma

I've always sort of suspected that a lot of celebrity ding-a-lings very publicly adopt kids from Africa or where ever, as a way of making up for misbehavior and at least partly as a career accessory, like a handbag or a nice pair of Christian Louboutin's. It gets them back in the spotlight, which they cannot live without.

So at 58, Madonna, no doubt with camera crew close by, convinced an orphanage in Malawi to sell her two more kids(she already has a couple of adopted kids from Malawi). I understand that she does a lot of charity work with orphanages there, so this isn't really a surprise......so good for her I guess, and good for the kids. I'll give her props for that.

But then it's a no-brainer that even being raised as a fashion accessory by a dopey, self-indulgent, dingbat billionairess in the West is still better than growing up literally anywhere on the dark continent.....so I guess it's a win win.

p.s. the international adoption racket is designed to wring as much money out of rich, childless Americans as possible. A lot of bureaucrats' palms must be greased before they let you take the kid home. Yes I'm a cynic, but that doesn't mean these countries aren't literally selling their kids to us. Still, the kids win and that's all that matters

I wonder if they'll call her grand-ma. Heh heh.
