Honestly, are you an elitist?

Unfolding before your very eyes is a future unit of study for the next generation. Yes, you are here, and can say to the young whipper snappers (nice phrase eh) " I was there and it didn't really unfold like you are being taught." How does the Stones song go... "you can't always get whatcha want, but if you try sometimes..." you can add in your own view and alter the facts like a drunken pollie up on capitol hill.

In the one corner we have Kim Jong II and in the other we have Condoleezza, Japan, followed by China and South Korea. Yes there are other players too, like Russia, the UK, and France. I found it very interesting to note, and yes while I plead an unrefined ignorance, Japan has no nuclear weapons. They are feeling rather threatened as is South Korea. I heard a quote today on ABC radio FM at 07:50 in which Rice exclaimed that the US has the range in their vast arsenal to reach North Korea and the will to defend if necessary. Encouraged by Japan, and the UN, America, which does have the resources, is preparing to stop, detain and search every ship entering or leaving this region. China is not entirely supportive of this action. The negotiations continue. Kim Jong II exclaimed that any opposition against them by the United States would constitute a declaration of war. What then?

The balance of power has shifted. It is a new game, with new rules. To quote Abraham Lincoln, "as our situation is new, so we must think and act anew." I hope there is a lot more thinking before acting.

I asked a close friend of mine, a question the other day. It actually wasn't anything more than an attempt to stir him up but it in fact is an interesting one. I don't really know where it came from, but as I saw he was languishing on google talk, and had not responding to my entreaty for his time, before signing off myself, the following words were penned. Do you lie to yourself? I ask it to you.

Finally, I wish to direct you to this site. What do ya reckon?

What did Donatello do? He did bronze. David was done by Michelanglo, in marble. It is said this marble statue is the most famous in the world. I have not seen it; yet. I was told of its beauty. Like most good things there is always an incredibly long queue to see the sculpture of sculptures. Have you seen it? Would you wait in line for 2 hours?

Now which finger?

I am sure you have heard this one recently, but... No it doesn't bear repeating. Oh well too late. When you have hiccups that you cannot get rid of, there is now a sure fire cure. No it isn't gargling water upside down while snorting cocaine. It isn't holding your breathe for a minute. This amazing cure is to simply shove your digit up your rectum.

Audioblogger is closing down. Will this have an effect on you? I have posted 1 entry on this site, using audioblogger. Are you interested in 1 more before the november first closing date? I tell you what, hopefully the next audio post is better than the first one. (if we do in fact have another one )


Doast. The exalted winner of our horse race should be honoured. Please congratulate him. I will be sending the prize out shortly. I hope to mail the money though. I also plan to uniquely package it so as to avoid any customs officals that may want to steal it. I will address it to the Honourable Minister of Homeland Information at your address, so you will know who it is from. I also hope to wrap it in copper wire, but only after encasing it in play doh, which will be moulded into a brick shape. Lastly, I will misspell your title and write it with a mix of capital and lower case letters. I will take pictures of the package too, before I send it so that you know you aren't being scammed out of your rightful prize. http://www.defensetech.org/archives/002824.html <--- nothing to do with above caption but a good distraction for later.


I had to chuckle this week at a media report, posted on BBC dot com, (i like that site) in which Hugo Chavez, presidente of Venezuela, claimed he had informants inside the White House and knew for a fact that Bush ordered his assassination. I wouldn't imagine being called a devil at the United Nations would effect "Dubya" so much. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/5365142.stm





Trivia number one. Which artiste do you get when you cross the Davinci code with the above mentioned Chavez?
