Sligo, 6.30pm, Apr 12. On his way from meeting his cronies, Bertie Ahern was greeted by Agent Whatever of the BBB. Unsure of the target, as she was confronted by a mass of boring men in suits, she plumped for the short, fat one in the middle. As she ran away she could hear the sloshing of dozens of eager face-lickers, jostling to clean his face. Bertie is always surrounded by a gaggle of sycophants, eager to get a piece of the pie. The Irish division of the BBB said "we have no idea who our next target will be. There is no shortage of corrupt politicians in Ireland. A pie thrown randomly near any government building would have a hard time not hitting some corrupt old git. That's the main reason we have been inactive so far; it isn't really much of a challenge." read full story / add a comment

THE POOR of Venezuela defeated an attempted coup against the country's president, Hugo Chavez, last weekend.

The following is the Reuters report on the latest developments at the Christian church occupied by Palestinian terrorists in Bethlehem. Israel should be commended for her restraint and respect for both the Christian faith and the lives of those within the church - Israel deserves criticism where criticism is due, but praise where appropriate is just and necessary. This is one of those cases. read full story / add a comment

Most of us probably feel that U.S. media is completely state-controlled and contains no worthwhile information. Mostly this is true, however there is at least one brave lone voice on the airwaves in the U.S. "Democracy Now!" hosted by Amy Goodman is carried on the Pacifica Network (an anti-war radio network founded decades ago by pacifist anarchists and communists). read full story / add a comment

On the morning of Wednesday 10 April, reports began to emerge from the Jenin refugee camp in the extreme north of the Israeli-occupied West Bank that its Palestinian defenders had run out of ammunition and were thus no longer able to resist the Israeli offensive that began on 2 April. While this appeared to put a conclusion to the most furious battle to be waged on Palestinian soil since 1948, subsequent developments indicated otherwise. As night fell, one of the camp's few remaining field commanders issued a dramatic, live appeal to the world through the Qatari Al-Jazeera television network, in which he stated that the Israeli military was summarily executing defenseless fighters as it advanced and was refusing to accept the surrender of those still alive. read full story / add a comment
