I thought that as long as nobody directly spoke about the UK elections here we could still beat about the Bush as much as we liked.

Want me to email you the link, Blues?

Just caught that. It was actually an anti-Bush cartoon.

And the other animals looked from Bush to Blair, and from Blair to Bush, but already it was no longer possible to tell the difference.

"US-led forces will hand over Saddam Hussein to Iraqi authorities by 30 June, according to a top lawyer in charge of co-ordinating his trial."

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/3705005.stm

"The US-led coalition is to return sovereignty to Iraqis by 30 June."


Why was I under the impression that this wasn't going to happen?

A somewhat related article:

"Republicans and Democrats attend cult blessing ceremony"



Just when you thought things couldn't get any weirder . . .

Yeah, I just read that one. That really was strange.

Bush should be arriving here to Ireland in a few days

If That guy wasn't so close with the conservative factions, my guess is he would be in a loony bin by now.

I'm a bit confused by this sentence: "communist leaders such as Marx and Lenin, who committed all manner of barbarity"
I don't know as much of Marx as I would like to or should, but my impression was that he wrote books, nothing more. Not everybody agrees with these books, but to call that 'all manner of barbarity' is almost as misguided as claiming to have the backing of these historic figures.

They perhaps meant Mao. Or Stalin.

Well, he also calls homosexuals "dirty dung-eating dogs".

Stalin is mentioned a couple of lines later. He is supposedly reborn as a better person and has mended his ways, together with Hitler. It's just such blatent bulls**t that it is hard to believe anyone falling for it. Just shows that human stupidity IS infinite.

Gradient, there goes your tax break!

"Experts attack Bush's stance in Aids battle"

"The US faces condemnation this week from leaders of the worldwide struggle against Aids over the Bush administration's reliance on sexual abstinence as a response to the intensifying epidemic."


http://www.guardian.co.uk/aids/story/0,7369,1258771,00.html


"Under the influence of the Christian right, Bush has adopted the so-called ABC approach to Aids prevention - A for abstinence, B for being faithful and C for condoms. But condoms are to be promoted only for use by 'high risk groups' such as prostitutes and drug abusers, with sexual abstinence the objective for all unmarried young people."

This man is stupid and dangerous - what more can one say?

But it seems that more and more he is being globally recognised as such, which can't be a bad thing.

Was it a week or so ago when the French Prime Minister publicly told him to butt out of European affairs?
