Hugo Chavez
Despite standing up to Bush, im afraid left-wing Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is a bit of cock.
According to
Article 147 of the new penal code in Venezuela: "Anyone who offends with his words or in writing or in any other way disrespects the President of the Republic or whomever is fulfilling his duties will be punished with prison of 6 to 30 months if the offense is serious and half of that if it is light."
Some Democracy this is!
anyway.. the message from me... stop lording Chavez as a bastion of the left! hes a wanker!
Fox News Polls
Do you think
ALL the people detained at Guantanamo Bay are 'bad people?'
a. Yes, they are all 'bad people' (60%)
60%! wot the fuck! this is after no trials and after those released have had no charges brought against them!!
fucking idiots!
Perhaps these people come from the 60% who think "steady progress" is being made in Iraq (despite the 1000 civilian deaths in the last month), the 36% who think the most needed constitutional amendment is to ban abortion, the 37% who think armed security guards are needed in schools, the 44% who have never heard of Darfur, the 75% who support maverick neo-con wanker John Bolton in his bid to become ambassador to the UN, or finally the 80% who think immigration should be tightened considerably.
these fox news watching retards remind me, somewhat, of your typical Daily Mail reader.
Fox News
ive found a copy of an email sent to Fox News regarding the dissapearence of some girl called Natalie Holloway in the tiny Caribbean country of Aruba. Fox are covering it Daily Mail style, as, obviosuly one stupid girl from Texas is more important than world poverty, global warming or Don Rumsfeld admitting the Iraqi rebellion could "last upto 12 years"!!!
Date: Jun 24, 2005
Subject: Natalee Holloway needs help
Many have started writing letters to Aruban authorities to solve the Natalee Holloway crime. We MUST put a stop these people abusing our children. Nice letters don't work so get TOUGH.
Please help we need to save Natalee.
Thank youTo Carribean NetI have personally written our President, George W. Bush and asked him to consider EXTREME military action if Natalee is not returned now. Its about time that Americans cleaned up the carribean and stopped the drug running and white slavery you are well known for.You are all communist sympathisers and need to haveyour backside kicked. RETURN NATALEE NOW, OR ELSE.*** ***, USA
these are the kinda idiots who watch fox!

article by the wonderfull John Simpson from a few weeks ago. he suggests, as do i, that the self proclaimed 'rainbow nation' is not so colourfull as may be thought.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, the new President of Iran, sums up his
world outlook in three quotes:
"We did not have a revolution to have a democracy" "Relations with the United States are not a cure for our ills""Access to nuclear technology is Iran’s inalienable right and the world ought to recognise these rights"His compatriots had their own responses. One Tehran office worker declared: “We’re going back 20 years in history.” Another said more simply: “Tomorrow I start growing a beard.”
and ahem.. enough of your funny business laura.... all this coughing at the mention of beards... we're talking big mother fuckers here!! .. not cool jesus groovy beards! :p
Nigerian twats
the torygraph
reports on mass corruption in Nigeria.
The scale of the theft indulged in over the last forty years by the Nigerian ruling-class is almost unbelievable.
An estimated £220 Billion was said to be spirited away between independence in 1960 and the return to civilian rule in 1999.
That is as much as all the western aid given to Africa in almost four decades. The looting of Africa's most populous country amounted to a sum equivalent to 300 years of British aid for the continent.
The figures, compiled by Nigeria's anti-corruption commission, provide dramatic evidence of the problems facing next month's summit in Gleneagles of the G8 group of wealthy countries which are under pressure to approve a programme of debt relief for Africa.
However....
So if aid and debt relief are not part of the answer, what is then?
Jeffrey Sachs book The End to Poverty, explains how debt relief and aid are part of the answer.
critics of live8 and geldof says that Africa has received a lot of aid, yes, but much of it in the Cold War, much of it Kissengerist.
Smarter aid is needed now. And debt relief is needed too, after all much of the debt can be traced back to illegitinate governments, and its wrong to further saddle the people with the debts incurred by illegitimate and corrupt rulers.
Without progress on infrastructure, institution building, education, combatting AIDS etc you'll just get more corrupt rulers simply siphoning away cash and resources, because they will be dead inert societies but with large natural resources.

Zimbabwe
I hope the appalling humanitarian and human-rights situation in Zimbabwe is addressed at the protests during the G8 summit in Gleneagles-- and of course at the summit itself.
There is a vigil every Saturday at the Zimbabwe High Commission in London to protest the terrible abuses of the Mugabe regime. It is now in its 41st week.
If anyone happens to go to London this summer it would be well worth passing by and giving your support.

a note to my many readers
Apologies for not updating the blog for ages. Combinations of factors have conspired against me; primarily laziness and a feeling that whether I update or not will make no difference to anything whatsoever.
However…. Miss Jack has kindly passed her beautiful spirit over her keyboard and I am going to get my arse moving again.

racist GOP
Conservative radio host Laura Ingraham argued that the 2004 presidential election returns show that “Republicans are clearly connecting with the
regular people (wot the fuck is 'regular' ... WASP fucking middle class racist WHITE.. *spits* fucking cunt), where the Democrats are not.” To back up her claim, she asserted that in the 2004 presidential election, among those earning between $23,000 and $50,000, President Bush “won by six points in all Americans and 22 points in white middle-class voters.”

Dead leaves litter my soul
Distorted realities infect me
Skewed perceptions are the cancer through which I see
A silent call for help goes unnoticed by the ones I love
Isolation is my oxygen mask
The double edged sword through which I survive
Slowly dead leaves fall in the fog
Littering my soul with my hearts decay

Mr Khodorkovsky
Mr Khodorkovsky's supporters have claimed that the trial was politically motivated punishment from the Kremlin in response to his financing of pro-Western opposition political parties.
"The sentence had to be long enough so Khodorkovsky was in jail in 2008, at the next presidential elections," political analyst Marsha Lipman at the Carnegie Moscow Centre added.
Outside the court, US Democrat congressman Tom Lantos said: "It seems that this political trial before a kangaroo court has come to a shameful conclusion.
US President George W Bush said that he had expressed concerns to Moscow that Mr Khodorkovsky was judged guilty before even standing trial.
Former Yukos chief Mikhail Khodorkovsky has been jailed for nine years after being found guilty of six charges including tax evasion.

Fox News Admits It's In Bed With Karl Rove:Did you know that Fox News is a "private channel"? That's what Fox's London bureau chief, Scott Norvell said in an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal Europe on May 20, 2005. He also wrote this:
"Even we at Fox News manage to get some lefties on the air occasionally, and often let them finish their sentences before we club them to death and feed the scraps to Karl Rove and Bill O'Reilly."
