Well Darlings,
After last week's marathon article, this week I shall keep it short - but it may not be all that sweet.
As perhaps most of us expected, the House of Lords Peers voted against the amendment to throw out the Equality Act (Sexual Orientation) Regulations demanded by some religious activists. It was by a majority of 46 (168 votes to 122) - healthy enough, but I would have preferred to have seen more. The Act will now become law and take effect in April. But how much good news is it? ...Read the rest of this entry »

With the recent shakeups in the presidential cabinet, it has
frequently been observed that the quality most treasured in the
present administration is that of loyalty.
Is that such an admirable quality?
We prize the loyalty of our friends who protect our good name
when we are not present. We respect the loyalty of committed
couples who stay true to each other no matter the outside
temptations. We recognize the loyalty of employees who stand by
their ethics and keep competitors and enemies at ...Read the rest of this entry »

Even as West European countries seemed to have edged to the
right of the political map - all three polities of central
Europe lurched to the left. Socialists were elected to replace
economically successful right wing governments in Poland,
Hungary and, recently, in the Czech Republic.
This apparent schism is, indeed, merely an apparition. The
differences between reformed left and new right in both parts of
the continent have blurred to the point of indistinguishability.

During the 9/11 Commissions dog and pony show hearings,
especially in the questioning of Dr. Rice, much was made of the
now infamous August 6th 2001 Presidents Daily Briefing memo.

PDB memo, which was still classified, as to the title of the
memo and whether it advised of any threats of attacks. Dr. Rice
responded that she believed the title was "Bin Laden Determined

To consolidate and increase failing political power, the first
step is to find an enemy. Demonize this enemy in every way
possible. Label it unpatriotic to question the evil of this
enemy. Then rally around the flag and kick some serious butt.
Sound familiar? It certainly should! Subsequent to the horrors
of 9/11, those very tactics took a president with a 49% approval
rating ' the danger point for any smart politician with an eye
on history ' and launched him to the highest approval ratings ...Read the rest of this entry »
