I get sent some strange links now and then. The oddest one of recent days is of Brazilian model (and ex-girlfriend of Ronaldo the football player) Daniela Cicarelli having sex in the surf with some guy. Not posting the link here tho… partly because the couple protested to the government about YouTube which hosted the … More Celebrity is as celebrity does

Not even sure the word ‘approacheth’ exists… as in Spanish it might have been something that arose from a king with a lithp… but anyway, the wife had the graduation details for her MBA yesterday… sometime in June. I thought this was interesting bearing in mind the same letter told her the results for her … More Graduation Day approacheth… maybe?

The 3000th US soldier has died in Iraq marking yet another milestone… or maybe millstone?… in the short period of the US assault on the country. The march to democracy and justice ‘US style’ was given a lurch backwards with the death of Saddam after a mockery of a trial in which the first judge … More And yet another pathetic moment passes

For those of us alive right now… we can only hope and pray where appropriate that we are here *next* year to celebrate the passing of another year. Best wishes to all and sundry… *especially* the sundry who never seem to get an even break.

No doubt Saddam is dead… and buried. The *full* execution video… including ‘the drop’ and his swinging body with face uncovered… is now online… looks like some fool with a cellphone took images in more than enough detail to satisfy the most morbid or disbelieving of people. For those interested… go to netscape.com. Dreadful, but … More Execution videos… gruesome!

An hour or so ago he was hung… what a demonstration this is of the violence the invasion was supposed to stop. More later no doubt but so far the news is that it was just an excuse for more internecine violence. I tend to judge a country’s adherence to civilised behaviour by the way … More Saddam dies.

Reports are coming in that the US forces have handed Saddam Hussein over to the Iraqi government who intend to hang him as soon as practicable. The rights and wrongs of executing him seem to be beyond discussion now. He is about to join the millions of other Iraqis who’ve died on the path to … More Saddam counts the hours.

John Howard has come down in favour of throwing caution to the wind, and is reccomending atomic power as the fuel of choice in the country that has most to gain from solar energy and least to gain from nuclear power plants. The sheer insanity of this decision is hard to comprehend. We have abundant … More Atomic power in Oz – why??

Just in case I don’t get the chance to make another post in the next couple of days, I wish one and all the best year possible. And remember… … in the end the love you take, is equal to the love you make.

Ever anxious to bow to ‘western sensibilities’, Japan decided Christmas Day was the appropriate time to execute four ‘criminals’. They haven’t mentioned who they were, or what they did… just the ‘matter of fact’ of their deaths. There were of course countless other deaths from any number of causes from war through famine to disease. … More Japan – still the home of culture.
