the main buildings of Kyrgyzstan's capital Bishkek have been taken by opponents to the regime there.

Kyrgystanis very old fashioned, and thus occupying the presidential palace, the TV station the radio station and a handful of other ministries is really enough to say quite effectively "you're in charge now". ... read full story / add a comment

"This pacifistic flourish might even have been forgotten if not forgiven --along with the band's misguided foray into techno with Zooropa' --had it not been for Bono's egregious and now consistent legitimizing of right-wing politicians. There was, of course, Bono's serenade of Paul Martin at the Liberal leadership convention where the shipping magnate took over Canada's top job from Jean Chretien.

Then, worse yet perhaps, there was his goodwill tour' to Africa with Paul O'Neil of the Bush Administration, helping to pretty up the White House while the rest of the world was up in arms and in the streets over its illegal war on Iraq. Around this time, Bono even struck up a friendly acquaintance with the loathsome Jesse Helms.

Finally, then, in what would seem to be a pretty consistent devolution, comes the friendly chat with Paul Wolfowitz, no doubt a preview of future high profile efforts to rehabilitate the image of the World Bank and the war-monger now heading it up." ... read full story / add a comment

As governer of Texas George Bush, (the current supreme wookie of the fundamentalist churches in schism with those of Europe, Kiev, Ethiopia and the Lebanon)
executed more prisoners than any other
man entrusted with the death sentance in US history.

The news that he has flown home to rush legislation through Congress to stop the withdrawl of medical assistance to a woman in a persistent vegetative state, could be understood to mean

HE IS LOOKING FOR FORGIVENESS.
