Anyway ... once again I don't feel much like writing but there seems to be no shortage of issues. Ariel Sharon has fallen ill at a time when Iraq seems bent on developing nuclear power. Bush is calling for diplomacy. Did he hit his head....is he suddenly an amnesiac? Saddam Hussein's trial judge has stepped down, no doubt due to threats from radical Bathists. Al-Zawahri the freakin nut job is spouting off crap again ... making me think Bin-Laden is dead and has now become some mystic who a generation of disenfranchised youth will seek to emulate. Oh great. President Vlad is now at the helm of the G-8 ... since when did Russia become democratic? Oh yea after the nation was looted throughout the 1990's now I remember. Oh and the mad man at the vatican is continuing to disallow gays equal rights. Bravo Pope Benedict Arnold.
