Is anyone surprised? When first we heard the simplistic binary logic of “wanted dead or alive” or “you're either with us or with the terrorists” and “mission accomplished” (no connection to the real world whatsoever); WE KNEW IT WOULD BE A DISASTER. Many intelligent articles were written at that time sounding a warning, testifying to the fact – peruse this site and read for yourselves! But let’s not stop with the above lest it HAPPEN AGAIN; the moronic comment of Wolfowitz, that the Iraqi people would welcome invaders with “bouquets of flowers”, signals either total lunacy or the worst criminal liar of all time? Not to be outdone by Wolfowitz, Rumsfeld offers his ‘poetry of insanity’ for idiots and Americans, quatrains of pathology expressed in the ‘known-unknown-knowns’ of criminal deception. Not to be excluded from the unadulterated INSANITY and INCOMPETENCE is the war-whore herself, Condoleezza (status quo) Rice, of Lebanon infamy who believes that peace equates with war! read full story / add a comment

Since the partition of Ireland two state forces have emerged with similar agendas. They have inherited many qualities of the old orders of control. The Garda and the RUC/PSNI. (The force has changed its name several times) are the strongest wings of state control. The RUC is the more starkly apparent of the two given its infamous role as a counter insurgency force and tool of repression.

As Christmas approaches we all need to be aware of the importance of proper animal care, in particular dogs and cats, many of which when puppies and kittens are given as Christmas presents. It might be a great idea at first but what about when reality sinks in and by the time New Year arrives your puppy has chewed your child's favourite new toy? Or your kitten has clawed her way round your new leather handbag? Animals are exactly that- animals, and without lots of advanced planning and preparation it is un-realistic to treat them like cute Christmas presents that can be played with then put away. read full story / add a comment

To whom it may concern,

I just heard today that a young guy, 15 years old, who I worked with in Nablus, Palestine this summer was shot dead on Sunday. His crime? To throw a stone. I wrote a few words and attached an article. If
you could stick it up that would be great.

Thanking you,

A few things happened on 'Budget day', Minister Mc Dowell wasn't in the house
(at least for the analysis) - and why should he be? his very public campaign
to abolish Stamp Duty for first time buyers was ignored by the wealthy FF party.
That is humiliating now isn't it? Kyoto was ignored- indeed , hats off to Joan Burton
and her engaging quip-"he,Mnister in charge of climate change cannot even get the electoral
register right." read full story / add a comment
