The illusion of the care of the West continues-More pop concerts!!

Yes its that freedom fighter and global wristband merchant Bono again,this time at an exclusive morning prayer service with the American elite held in a Washington ballroom.
Pleas to make poverty history and buy more albums were passionately heard aswell as praise upon praise being heaped upon George W.

Bono shows his true colours

Bono enthralled the high-class crowd yesterday with his speech warning of the wrath of god if America were not to increase its aid by a massive 1%.
"God will not accept that," he said. "Mine won't. Will yours?"he warned..
Bono did give some never-before heard insight into the enlightened insight into the ireconcilable adverasries,the free market and global justice-
Speaking to President Bush and members of Congress at the National Prayer Breakfast, the front man said i"t's unjust to keep poor people from selling their goods while singing the virtues of the free market, to hold children to ransom for the debts of their grandparents and to withhold medicines that would save lives".

Bono's speech riveted the ballroom audience that included the president and first lady and leaders from Congress, the Cabinet, the military, the clergy and countries from around the world.

At every table, Bono had distributed white plastic bracelets from The ONE Campaign to fight AIDS and poverty, and Sen. Hillary Clinton was among those who wrapped it around her fingers while she listened
How touching.
Bono had previosly said how President Bush had single-handedly SAVED the livesof a quarter of a million people in Africa(!)
"Well, I think [President Bush has] done an incredible job, his administration, on AIDS. And 250,000 Africans are on antiviral drugs. They literally owe their lives to America.
These comment were made less than a year ago while attendng a gala dinner as the Presidents second inauguration was upcoming.-

"Yes, there's a lot of pressure on President Bush. If he, though, in his second term, is as bold in his commitments to Africa as he was in the first term, he indeed deserves a place in history in turning the fate of that continent around."

To keep this roughly within the realms of a news report I shall refrain from going berserk at the idiot.
