Everyone in the house is getting ready to go out and vote. Polling stations in our area (Bagneux, one of the last two Communist towns left in Paris's former "red belt" suburbs) are closing at 9 or so. Nina and I (we're engaged - did I say?) are then off for a non-party with some friends. I can't vote here, but I've been following some of what others have been saying here, and would like to share a few observations with you. read full story / add a comment

The British based news magazine "The economist" this week led with a cover "Italy the real sick man of Europe" which saw a little illustration of the peninsula on crutches hit news kiosks across the continent and a lot of content inside on the moribund, stagnant, depressed economy, and little digs at the lack of media freedom, disregard for civil and human rights and the "smellyiness" of it all. read full story / add a comment

"Last September in a makeshift camp outside El Jeniena in Darfur, Sudan, I listened to a woman describe the attack on her village by government-supported militia. So many men were killed that there were none left to bury the dead, and women had to carry out that sad task"I listened to young girls who had been raped by the militia and then abandoned by their own communities. I listened to men who had lost everything except their sense of dignity. These were ordinary, rural people. They may not have understood the niceties of “human rights”, but they knew the meaning of “justice”. They could not comprehend why the world was not moved to action by their plight. "It was yet another example of the lethal combination of indifference, erosion and impunity that marks the human rights landscape today. Human rights are not only a promise unfulfilled, they are a promise betrayed." :- Irene Khan, Secretary General, Amnesty International. read full story / add a comment

"If Jesus Christ was alive today he would defend investigation with maternal [stem] cells" :- James Watson one of the discoverers of the double helix DNA molecule in a print interview published by the La Vanguardia in Spain yesterday. Makes me laugh. When exactly did Jesus die? Or rather didn't he die and go through the Resurrection? Isn't that why he's famous? Isn't he alive, still? out there somewhere, waiting to return and tell us all about stem cells, life support machines, exactly what sexual acts between consenting adults are ok? at what price a house may be sold? whether it was the right thing to invade iraq? & Today it is reported that the US congress have been debating changes to US law to allow stem cell research. Mr Bush believes Jesus lives, and he's not a scientist, he's a pharisee or saducee. & he's just lost his vote. read full story / add a comment

On night of May 5th, alone, axtivist Mary Kelly insinuated herself into Shannon Warport and, praise the lord, for the past two weeks, mysteriously unhindered, she has been chopping 'n dicing a U.S.A.F. Globemaster into 100,000 pieces - her "cead mile failte" to the war criminals pissing on our neutrality. Tonight, job well done, she is in deep hiding, safe from the hue and cry and sipping a bottle or two of Bucky in modest celebration at the completion of her herculean and saintly task. Tomorrow, in Eyre Sq and Abbeygate St, Galway, she will be selling R.C. plenary indulgences, little plastic axes and figurines of her good self. read full story / add a comment

Mass-produced computers can KILL Microsoft and free the world's computer users. They'll be too cheap to accommodate MS Windows -- MS's bread and butter. Computers will go the way of TVs and VCRs -- cheap offshore (non-USA) production. They'll be cheap, simple, general-purpose (FREE SOFTWARE), all-electronic (no disk drive) -- in other words, real electronic computers, finally.
