Tomorrow President Chirac visits the UK for two days most british and french mainstream media organs look at the relationship between the two EU members with nuclear capability.

Chirac has confirmed that even though Blair is "supine" (one of three positions in which the body is laid flat upon the ground the others being prostrate and prone) in it's attitude to Washington, he still likes Mr Blair and has a photo of his young son Leo.
The same Leo who "someone" shopped for being drunk and disorderly years ago on Whitehall after a RTS! event.

The Green Party and Libertarian Party have just recently succeeded in raising enough money to demand a recount of votes in the Ohio election.

David Cobb of the Green Party and Michael Badnarik of the Libertarian Party (both candidates for the 2004 election) are both demanding a recount. These are the same two candidates who were arrested outside of one of the debates earlier in the year.

The campaign raised $150,000 in four days, more than the necessary 113,000 needed for a state recount. read full story / add a comment
