Sugarbabes-Ugly (People are all the same)

When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren't the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you're more beautiful
And that's the way they show they wish
They had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous cos

People are all the same
(Oh, oh, oh)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah)
My personality reflects me
And if I'm ugly then
(Yeah, so are you)
So are you
So are you

"WHY OH WHY DO WE NOT HAVE A REAL INTERNATIONAL RESCUE!!!"

There's a nice little rant from buddy Dave aka Ronnie in Ronnieland.
OK we do have the International Rescue Committee but they don't have those nice spaceships like Thunderbird 2, (guys in labs coats and glasses can only count for so much)

I guess it's not all a bad idea in whole, but my thoughts are usually cynical and the idea that there would be a bunch of 'elite' stormtrooper guys n gals, throwing their 'we're international rescue' weight around and trying to get everything done in the 25 minute time slot before scooby doo starts.

Who will control these elite rescue professionals? will they be free from government sanctions and embagos, so if N.Korea or Cuba had an earthquake or mad weather they would be allowed access and not be treated as spies. How will all that fishing wire stop from getting tangled up?.. I mean how many people do you need to pull the strings on half a dozen puppets once a week?... now image that times a couple of hundred?! 7 days a week 365 days a year.... hmmmmmm you seee?!!!!!!

The Downing Street "Memo" is actually a document containing meeting minutes transcribed during the British Prime Minister's meeting on July 23, 2002—a full eight months PRIOR to the invasion of Iraq on March 20, 2003. The Times of London printed the text of this document on Sunday, May 1, 2005, but to date US media coverage has been limited.

Goodbye Superman
I remember watching Superman when I was a little kid. Having dreams that I too could fly and fight evil.

I'm very sad to see Chris go. He was a true inspiration, in and out of tights.

Palestinians gather to see a lamb born with what looked like 'Allah' spelled out in Arabic on its coat in the West Bank city of Hebron.

The lamb said it was quite enjoying the limelight and is not at all 'Allah'med by all the media publicity .

The Guardian

It's not often that we get the chance to speak directly to the most powerful man in the world. So as George Bush lands in Britain for his first state visit, we asked 60 Brits and Americans to make the most of it

A collection of personal letters from a very interesting list of people, including The pilot falsely accused of aiding the September 11 terrorists, Frederick Forsyth, Salam Pax The Baghdad Blogger, Benjamin Zephaniah, Anita Roddick

60 letters to George Bush (part one)

Dear President Bush,

the ball goes bouncing on.

Collective Punishment for Downing Black Hawk?

Fox News reported on Friday, Nov. 7, 2003 from Tikrit, Iraq:

"The U.S. military swept through Iraqi neighborhoods early Saturday, firing at houses suspected to be harboring hostile forces in the wake of an apparent attack on a Black Hawk helicopter that killed six U.S. soldiers."

Geneva Convention Clearly states in:

Art. 33. No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited.
Pillage is prohibited.
Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited

Art. 53. Any destruction by the Occupying Power of real or personal property belonging individually or collectively to private persons, or to the State, or to other public authorities, or to social or cooperative organizations, is prohibited, except where such destruction is rendered absolutely necessary by military operations.

All Articles from the 4th Geneva Convention: http://www.icrc.org/ihl.nsf/7c4d08d9b287a42141256739003e636b/6756482d86146898c125641e004aa3c5?OpenDocument

This Wednesday Guy Fawkes will share his perch on bonfires with a man who, his critics say, poses as great a danger as the 17th-century conspirator once did.

This was the story of a young, frightened soldier, not a combat heroine;
of doctors, nurses and hospital administrators who did all they could
possibly do and more to save and care for their foreign "guest", towards
whom Arab custom would demand generous hospitality.

I think George Bush just coined a new word for the suicide bombers (I call them suicide bombers) terrorizing the Middle East. In his press conference, he called them "suiciders." I thought it was a slip and then he called them that again. "Suiciders."
