excuse me…
…while I draw your attention to Sunny’s question over on LC, re. Nadine Dorries MP, and her 20 Week Campaign.
Who’s financing this thing? Who’s behind it? What are they hiding?
Today Dorries played the victim over on her blog. Unity responds.

jack thompson. what a dick
On Valentines Day, again, a US university was rocked when one of its own students entered a lecture theatre and shot at classmates with a shotgun.
Five students were killed, and sixteen wounded before the gunman turned his weapon on himself. As usual the 24hr rolling news channels descended on the university campus and the salivating […]
video games cause high-school massacres, apparently
Christian conservatives. Gotta love’em.
(p.s. this video accompanies my *first* podcast… to go live sometime over the weekend, once I get everything sorted. Worked very hard today getting the first one ready. Am good. Deserve a present. )
UPDATE: Actually it may be Monday before the podcast goes live. It’s my first attempt and I’m not […]
how the hateful wing of the republican party is collapsing
One of the most heartening aspects of John McCain and Mike Huckabee’s success in the Republican primaries, has been the delightful erosion of influence enjoyed by the rabid rightwing hackery. Rush Limbaugh, when he isn’t whacked out on painkillers, can be found raging against both candidates. Likewise, blowhard writer and Fox News talking-head Ann Coulter, […]
republicans panic as faith-based chickens come home to roost
The GOP has campaigned for the last decade on a platform of faith. Strategist Karl Rove famously mobilised millions of Evangelicals in the 2000 and 2004 elections, a faithful who were happy to put their X next to the born-again W.
Now it seems the Republicans have played the faith card a little too often. The […]
the irregular quote of the day
Mike Power on the arrest and charging of a Sudan-based British teacher, Gillian Gibbons [BBC], who allowed her charge to name a teddy bear - that’s right, a teddy bear - Mohammed.
Apart from anything else, this is a gift to bigots, which is, no doubt, why the Muslim Council were quick to condemn the […]

Quick. I haven’t got long.
Have you read Simon Jenkins’ Op-Ed in today’s Sunday Times?
Jenkins’ - normally - really bugs me, but this is a very well thought-out piece and is very close to my thoughts on the relationship between the West and Islam.
And in a Murdoch paper too!

If you only read one blog-post this week, read Unity’s stunning investigation into last week’s ‘Purity’ Ring Case at the High Court, over at Ministry of Truth.

u.s. military arming sunni fighters
As we know, America’s strategy in Iraq changes most days. Bush’s policy seems to be that if he constantly changes his strategy, he can’t be pinned down and forced to admit defeat. Political foes are accused of not supporting the troops or not giving enough time to see if the Presidents latest folly will work.
The […]
Gordie B on Terrorism
The Observer has the beef: -
· An extension of the 28-day limit on detention without charge. Blair had wanted to extend this to 90 days, but had to limit it to 28 after a Commons revolt.
· Making terrorism an aggravating factor in sentencing, giving judges greater powers to punish terrorism within the framework of the […]
