Should He Stay or Should He Go
I somehow missed this. Tony Blair singing “Should I Stay or Should I Go” – hilarious.
US Money Drain
A must-read article by Terry Jones (of Python fame). Yes, they have “made a killing.” Early this year the Bush administration is to ask Congress to approve an additional $100bn for the onerous task of making life intolerable for the Iraqis. This will bring the total spent on the White House’s current obsession with war to almost $500bn – enough to have given every US citizen $1,600 each. I wonder which the voters would have gone for if given the…

It misses something central about her. Yes, she made a political turn into more conservative terrain. I’m not sure that everyone was so angry about it as the article would suggest. There is a wide spectrum of opinion about issues like abortion, gender relations, marriage, work life, and so on…
