Dick Cheney: Obama 'not likely to cede authority'

Story from 'Politico' here.

So let me try and understand this.

It's OK to go against the will of the people and to authorise all sorts of shenanigans in time of 'war'?
Sorry, you are part of a democracy.
In fact you pride yourself on being THE democracy which you then try and export around the world.
In my book - you call it 'war' then I think you should be tried for 'war crimes'.

FIFA to allow 'GB' soccer team in 2012 Olympics

Story from the 'BBC' here.

(OK, so let's try and get this straight. GB equals Great Britain right and yet Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland ALL oppose this move and FIFA have no objections if ALL the players are English...No sorry, still don't get it!)

Hazel Dooney flies high!

'The Aviatrix' by Hazel Dooney
The above painting was sold tonight for $32.701 (Australian) / (14,375 UK pounds) at Christies in London.
What can I say apart from the fact that Ms. Dooney is one of our most exciting (and challenging) artists working in Australia today.
If you don't know her work then please do yourself a favour and check it out here and her wonderful, ever rewarding blog here.
(I am biased. Hazel was my # 1 'Girl With A Gun' way back when I started this blog!)

Gig of 2009!

Bush acknowledges absence of al Qaeda in pre-occupation Iraq with a "So What"!

BUSH: One of the major theaters against al Qaeda turns out to have been Iraq. This is where al Qaeda said they were going to take their stand. This is where al Qaeda was hoping to take-

RADDATZ: But not until after the U.S. invaded.
BUSH: Yeah, that's right. So what? The point is that al Qaeda said they're going to take a stand. Well, first of all in the post-9/11 environment Saddam Hussein posed a threat. And then upon removal, al Qaeda decides to take a stand.
