That's funny! Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that a young French Socialist protesting against her choice between a "Fascist and a Crook" for the French presidency?

The irony is that Jospin would have told Bush not just to "shove it" he would have told Bush to "shove it up his ass!"

The way it works is that you submit a piece, then it goes to an administrative holding area until an editor approves the piece. After that point, it's either published immediately (which is rare these days for politics since there are a lot of submissions) or is placed into the newswire queue where it will come on to the newswire at a specific time. If you look closely, you'll see that almost all of the politics posts hit the wire exactly on the hour - that's why.

It's funny you should ask about your post, I was just in the middle of editing it when I got your comment. Don't worry, it should come up either late this afternoon or early this evening.

I hate painting but seem to do it a lot.

Ah, the wonders of assuming that things will go right from day to day. That's messed me up many a time too!

Anyway, I just popped in to mention the fact that I just finished watching City Of God on DVD. It's an awesome film and your synopsis was spot on, thanks for the recommendation.

BTW you *need* to join thsi group:

Wow he is just recruiting everyone isn't he

What a dickhead. It's a balancing act. The army needs Arabic speakers and I can see where Muslim soldiers could be especially useful in places like Afghanistan & Iraq. Everyone should be background checked - especially if there is even the outside chance of ulterior motives.

BTW I got called an anti-Muslim bigot for merely criticizing loopy Islamist cults. Why this should be construed as an attack on mainstream Muslims, I don't know. Is it anti-American if someone attacks the Heavens Gate group?

Don't you even think about touchin' my Alberta. It may be the province with the most immigrant Americans but there are those of us that would go to ground and cause more havoc then you could imagine.

A message from your friendly neighborhood Canadian miltia.

Hehehe

CT seemed pretty mystical, he was from Israel, thought he'd be someone I'd be friends with. I was really loaded that night, tried to friend Magicflute who ridiculed Republicans on the hookup board.

ha yeah i befriended magicflute when everyone was taking the piss outta him on some weird topic he created... his comments were so random it was like unintentional burroughs cut-up era poetry...
it rocked.
i wanna see what he looks like... heh

That's definitely the module I saw on eBay for about 5 including UK shipping ($10ish at current exchange rates). Thanks for the recommendation, I'll check it out.

Yeah, I've got no shame.

nah man - you are a valiant fighter for the cause...you couldn't piss me off!

I was kind of hoping you'd volunteer to edit the SG current affairs / politics blog....

I'm sure you'd make a damn fine editor
