We've been here before. In 1992 Bill Clinton who never served in the military or fired a shot in anger challenged President George H W Bush, who was one of the youngest US fighter pilots of World War 2 and who was shot down and rescued at a sea while others who participated in the same attack were captured and cannibalised by the Japanese. In 1996 Bill Clinton challenged Bob Dole, a veteran of the the WW2 Italian campaign who was wounded by a German machine gun and waited for nine agonising months to be evacuated to an American hospital leaving his right arm paralyzed preventing him from shaking hands, a serious disability for a politician. read full story / add a comment

Obama has it seems made a wonderful speech which is being hailed as the bravest bit of rhetoric by a US presidential contender in generations by some and the most stirring bit of oratory since the Gettsyberg address by others. Oh yes. But what did he actually say & why? read full story / add a comment

The Council of Europe has called on Ireland to decriminalise abortion. This week , the Council of Europe's Committee on Equal Opportunities issued a report saying all member states should guarantee women the right to a safe termination of pregnancy. The report states quite clearly: “the Committee on Equal Opportunities for Women and Men considers that a ban on abortions does not result in fewer abortions, but mainly leads to clandestine abortions, which are more traumatic and more dangerous.” Some people estimate that the number of Irish women who travel to England every year is about 7,000. Since some women obviously use false British addresses, or disguise their origins in other ways, the true figure can never be known. read full story / add a comment

"............Five years into this battle, there is an understandable debate over whether the war was worth fighting … whether the fight is worth winning … and whether we can win it. The answers are clear to me: Removing Saddam Hussein from power was the right decision – and this is a fight America can and must win… Over the past five years, we have seen moments of triumph and moments of tragedy. We have watched in admiration as 12 million Iraqis defied the terrorists, went to the polls, and chose their leaders in free elections. ........" http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/shared/bsp/hi/pdfs/19_03_08_bus...h.pdf read full story / add a comment

Have they seen the brutalisation of protestors instigated by the quango that comprises the NRA? The EU , this morning answered a tabled question regarding the ongoing works at Tara, the EU believes those works are stopped. Protestors have been criminalised and brutalised as a result of a media driven government campaign to isolate them, in the belief that ordinary commuters think they need the toll road. read full story / add a comment

On Easter Sunday, March 23rd, the Irish Greyhound Board (IGB) will, once again, be holding their annual awards ceremony at the Killashee House Hotel in Naas, 24 miles from Dublin. This is a yearly booze-up, dance and banquet, where the IGB hand out trophies to their various pals within the greyhound racing industry. We’re not going to let them get away with their wining, dining and mutual back-slapping without vociferously bringing home to them exactly what we think about their disgusting so-called "sport" that makes them all a nice living from the ruthless persecution of innocent creatures. read full story / add a comment

News coming from the Meath conference of AGSI says that the Gardai want murder trial televised for General Public viewing, supposedly that would up the clothing allowances of the judge's bench and provide a cannon fodder of violent and disturbing viewing for the General Public. Maybe they will provide interactive buttons for people to get involved in the legal process. The risible reason for this suggestion is to show 'us' the great people and public viewers what Gardai must suffer in the courts. They seem well enough appraised of the rights of the individual and one of those is the presumption of innocence. read full story / add a comment |
