George Bush is to visit Ireland on the 25th and 26th of June 2004. While this is probably just an attempt to win the Irish-American vote, it presents us with an opportunity to link the widespread animosity towards Dubya with the ongoing local resistance to the US war machine. read full story / add a comment

This is an ELECTED official...removed from his earned position...for 'smoking'?! "Smoking" is being made, like the apple in Eden, a Test of Obedience, intentionally with little or no REASON otherwise. If it made intuitive, obvious sense, like laws against robbery and mahem, the test wouldn't work.
One thing is..no one has DEFINED "smoking'" to account for any indusrial, harmful, non-tobacco adulterants.
Maybe Mr. Deasy will express interest.
