Professor Noam Chomsky casts a cold eye on world affairs, the Danish cartoon issue, Iran and the war in Iraq, and the dangers of living in a nuclear age. The anti-war critic, Noam Chomsky, recently said the Danish cartoon issue wasn’t a matter of press freedom, nor indeed a conflict between the West and the Islamic world, but an attack, by and large, by the Danish government on the Muslim minority living in Denmark. He was giving an exclusive report to myself when I was working with Griffith College radio recently. ... read full story / add a comment

An hilarious attempt was made to knock over the 60ft spy pole in the cabbage patch park off Kevin St. tonight. The pole with its two spy cameras and satellite communication disc was erected about two weeks ago to the outrage of local residents (it's there to deal with anti-social behaviour apparently, and to what cost?). ... read full story / add a comment

As most us of us know, the 6th day of the 6th month of Two thousand and..............6 has seen Fox news launch their "Omen remake" and fundamentalists throughout Eire have flocked to school-yards to check the kids for nits and headlice "just in case". It also has given Joseph Ratzinger an ocassion to be homophobic, anti-feminist, preach who ought have babies, and mention abortion. (Great timing there.) ... read full story / add a comment

Is this the final comeuppance for the British establishment for their conquest of Ireland?

Thousands cheered as the women of the Shell to Sea campaign set off in great numbers to race around Dublin in the mini-marathon today. There was no stopping the tireless fighters for justice as they got free massages before setting out. Shell security staff huddled in Corrib House on Leeson Street as the fearless campaigners thundered past. While supporters of charities and hospitals looked on aghast, the Shell to Sea contingent quickly strode to the front, and established a dominating lead over the field. Well done, giirls, well done. ... read full story / add a comment
