Mornin' All....

The ever resourceful Brenda has sent me here, I think to save her own sanity and stop all her hair falling out. Anyhow, whatever her reasons, here I am. I now have my very own ' box in the corner' which I will stand in whenever I feel a rant coming on ( Read more... )

Yes, I also thought it strange when we heard that David Kelly was a religious fundamentalist. I had vaguely heard of Bahi''a before, thought it was a Brazilian-Catholic derivation via east Africa & the slave trade. Seems it also takes bits from the Q'ran ( ... )

Well, I've done a bit of reading up on Baha'i today....anything being better than leaping round the room for joy one minute 'cos collectively ' we', the resistance have got rid of A.Campbell, and the next being plunged into depression ( and highly alarmed for all those poor little boys in South America who look like being paid home visits by Mandy at tax-payers expense again) at the reality that Campbell moving out is just a clever ploy to let Mandelsson back in ( you sure you don't worry about ' the website getting knocked over ( ... )

I can't wait to find out what Mrs K has to say about it all. Can't wait to find out what he was doing with electrode pads attached to his chest. I'm finding the Inquiry process itself absolutely gripping. Almost felt today like popping down to join the queue to be one of the lucky 10 to get in to see the lies being told in person. Something I read today, from a piece by Noam Chomsky ( ... )

Did you really have to do that to me at 4.00 sweetie ?:-)

OK....you have me, I'll reform. Better than that....I'll never eat again.

Off to throw up now, and when I'm done with that I'll stand in the corner and flog myself with a limp lettuce leaf a hundred times a day for a month..

OMG, feelin' distinctly ill.

If you just heard a loud noise, it was the new T-Shirt I treated myself to yesterday goin' in the bin :-

Only being the ' Devil's Advocate' here as the possibility of ' foul play' in the death of David Kelly is too awful to contemplate. I wish I could go to sleep and wake up when The Hutton Inquiry is all over, it's agony, and then we have the inquest to come.

Home heart testing kit is readily available and relatively cheap, if he was the stressy type he may have been into DIY. I can't think that any of the agencies known for ' serious interrogation' would have been dumb enough to leave him free to go still wearing the evidence of their practices but he had been questioned not long before his ' apparent suicide'.

Chomsky is a doll, I love him. Pity there aren't more Chomskys about. Interesting his comment that ' Intellectuals are commonly integrated into dominant institutions'. I agree with him as I often do but the comment gives rise to the question 'why'?

Questions, questions always more questions...

Anybody got any sleeping pills ?

Roy on Chomsky anonymous September 2 2003, 01:11:50 UTC
The wonderful Arundhati Roy has written a piece that probably won't fit here, but I'll post a snippet or two and the link to the full thing. I first came across her when in one of my prolific reading periods, I read her novel set in a pickle factory, 'The God of Small Things' which I believe later won a Booker or a Turner or whatever.. anyhow it's a wonderful novel. Little did we know that we were tuning into the mind of the political activist she's since become ( ... )
