Mr Cutts the Butcher dials Thomson and Thompson.

Art. What can art tell you about a country? When the people are suffering, whether it be starvation or war time, if one has to worry about the next meal, or the next bullet, all efforts are directed inward. If safety allows reflection one can be prompted to focus outward. Once again, because it is just so excellent...I humbly give you.... blue poles..


Next, I have to tell you about a birthday. We, us, those of us here, you and I... have a birthday. It is coming up. Yes, at the end of this month, this site officially turns one. We have been broadcasting for 1 year. Kewl eh.

Now for the tired old subject. I hate to broach the topic, but Iraq continues to dominate in the news. It seems, and I think you noticed too, that our own "happymood" is squaring off against "Dubya." Increasingly, it is suggested that Iran is the nation commited to the destabilization of the situation in Iraq. Is the world prepared for a bombing campaign against Iran? When? I still reckon that Israel will beat them to it.

Finally. A man named David Hicks, a.k.a. Abu Muslim al-Austraili. He has been detained now for some time, at Guantanamo Bay because of his affiliation with the Taleban. He has not been charged with any offence. What do you reckon? Now I will preface this by saying that I do not support terrorism, however, I am beginning to question the position taken by our leaders. The government has not requested that Hicks, be returned to Australia. He has been held for 5 years, but only after being caught fighting against Allied forces. While being held without charge, he alleges that he has been tortured. The Aussie public doesn't seem to care about his plight. What do you think? Check out the link below.
